His work was the video and now he stands to make millions off of it.
Just curious here, did you see the movie trailer or have you seen the entire movie?
I ask because I have only viewed the trailer which was somewhere around 15 minutes long.
It was the worst thing on video I have ever seen. The trailer was made up of thrown together completely unedited scenes.
The dialogue was poorly written. The scenes had no evidence of any kind of direction, and the actors were awful. The audio was a combination of bad miking, little to no post production work and amateurish over-dubs.
The sets were poorly lit, the camera work was obviously done by an amateur, the costuming was absurd as was the make-up on the so-called actors.
One of those "actors" had on a fake beard that flopped and wiggled loose and jutted out at moments so often that the fake beard itself deserves top billing screen credit plus points before any human involved in the "project" gets paid.
That's my opinion of course, and if your opinion is that the movie version of the trailer is going to earn the man "millions"... okay, then.
He allegedly made the video. Making videos does not violate his probation. If he handed the video to a friend, and the friend posted it, then HE has not used the Internet.
