Once In a Blue Moon Video (or, Looks Like New Zealand During Mouse Season...)

By Tom Chandler 4/15/2009

It's tax day, and as pick-me-up for the Undergrounders who are sending Uncle Sam the equivalent of a couple fly rods, we're reporting on yet another hot-looking video trailer that's crossed the Underground's desk. This one's called Once in a Blue Moon, and it's set in New Zealand during "mouse" season:

Interesting stuff (great soundtrack), but we gotta ask: how does an industry that can't quite cover the marketing basics support a movie that includes helicopter time? Just asking is all.

Chopper time is actually comparatively inexpensive compared to the many production costs incurred in making a film, traveling to a location, setting up accommodation camps etc etc. In half an hour you can get stunning footage that would otherwise be impossible. Re the casting - take a look at the entire film to see whats going on. There are far better loops than those! Carl FFF Master Casting Instructor ... more ;-)

Well even on my tiny screen, that looked pretty awesome. But, did you notice the editing? There's no way that guy threw that loop with a mouse pattern at the end of his line.
