playing with Windows movie maker

Windows movie was never anything new to me. All the way back into my polytechnic days, i was playing around with the tools. I have an active youtube account seen here

The only problem is that i do not like to take my own footage. Without a professional camera, editing tools, lens filters and a lot of time, such footage would look cheap and amateurish . As a result, i prefer to work with pre-shot footage and sound.

My hobby is creating fan-trailers.
That is a fake movie trailer syncing sound from an existing movie trailer to footage from an unrelated film.

Now you might scream "copyright infringement" but then i will scream "right of fair use".

As long as i use less than 10% of a film, i am entitled to right of fair use.
Trailers, both footage and sound, are covered under fair use as well so long as i do not make a profit from them.

OF course i do not desire any profit, but i would appreciate a couple of "likes" eh?

here are some of the vids that i am most proud of. Try comparing the footage in those trailers to that featured in the original trailers. The similarities are uncanny.
