Leeroy Jenkins: Reimagined as a Short Film
|
Just finished my first short film, which also doubles as an advertisement for the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival. I was asked by the agency doug & serge, to create a short film from the popular viral video “Leeroy Jenkins”. We had about 4 weeks to complete the task, which was a mountain of work, but I was helped by some of the best people in the business to make it happen. Here is the original video that I was asked to draw my inspiration from: So if you find yourself at the festival, you’ll see it running before your movie. Sure beats another cell phone ad! Here are some production shots from the day: “Leeroy”: James McDougall “Jamaal”: Tyler McMaster “Ritter”: Devin Upham “Abduhl”: Jeff Sinasac “Guard”: Ben Bessong “Guard #2″: Danny Polishchuk Executive Producer: Michi Lepik-Stahl Producer: Peter Oad Production Manager: Laina Oad Co-ordinator: Liam Couture 1st A.D.: Jeff Cowan D.P.: Marc LaLiberte Else Camera Operator: Rob Barnett A-Camera 1st A.C.: Michael Williams DIT: Gavin Keen Gaffer: David Patrick Swing: Jesse McCracken Key Grip: David Patrick Art Buyer: Clint Roche On Set Props: Mason Sabatine Wardrobe: Melissa Shouldice Wardrobe Assistant: Danielle Nietsh Hair / Make-up: Olga Onulov Sound Mixer: Dan Munro Boom Operator: Bob Rouse Script Supervision: Catherine Taylor VTR Operator: Gavin Keen Production Assistants: Kyle Welton, Joel Kim, and Jesse McCracken Creative Director: Ian Schwey @ doug & serge Editing: Shiv Harrilal + Kate Bate @ Relish Colourist: Jason Zukowski @ Notch Music and Sound Design: RMW Music Toronto Recording Studio: RMW Music Toronto Track Director: Ted Rosnick Special thanks to: Suneeva, Sim Video, Jigsaw Casting, Technicolor, William F.

Great film! I loved the way you managed to capture the intensity of a raid team just before a boss fight in a more familiar, mainstream genre – really liked the parallel there.
The casting of Leeroy was excellent!
