iMovie & The Movie Tarnation

I stumbled upon this movie by complete accident.  I was using google to see if i could find some short films done in iMovie, trying to see just how far people had gone with it in their editing and film projects.  Apparently, they’ve gone pretty damn far with it.  I came across an article on Wired that talked about a movie called Tarnation that was edited completely using iMovie.  It went on to get tons of praise at the Sundance Film Festival.

Tarnation chronicles the life of Caouette’s dysfunctional family. His mother, a fashion model, was a victim of severe abuse, and Caouette’s childhood, spent partly in foster homes, included daily doses of violence, drugs and unpredictability.

The best part is that it was made for only $218.32.  I realize that this is was done six years ago and isn’t new by any means, but knowing what I know about iMovie right now I still think it’s amazing.  The trailer alone is intense.

Peep the trailer after the jump:

Kind of makes you realize that the true strength of any weapon lies in the person wielding it, not in the weapon itself, right?

If any of you have seen this film already hit up the comments and let me know what you thought of it.  I plan on checking it out this weekend at some point.

    that trailer freaked me out. that old guy!? shit. that's all i can say about that. however, i had the honor out here in seattle to see toki, musab, and abstract rude in a small club and it was amazing. I got a chance to speak with Ab briefly after the show, and I asked him if he had checked out your new track Smile yet. He said he would and praised your work ethic and abilities. I can't stop talking about that track, can't wait for the Ep. Toki is the bomb too, I am sure his collabo will be dope. Keep seattle in mind for your next tour. It is a great music community with some small gem venues. Nectar Lounge has hosted some super shows. thanks again.

    i just peeped the movie last night and i gotta say that I've never seen anything like it in my life. the storyiine itself is pretty intense and unique, but the way it looks is amazing. it's kind of like an underground movie but with way more polish and sophisticated cuts. I'm seriously bugging out trying to figure out how this dude was able to do that with iMovie.

    Good looking out. Ab Rude and Toki are my dudes!
