Literally one of the best finales I've seen in a while. People say it's better than breaking bad and there are some aspects where I totally agree. Awesome show.
Software:
FInal Cut Pro X
Adobe After Effects
Logic Pro X
Show: Better Call Saul
Songs:
Ass Over Tea Kettle - Dave Porter
I'm Glad - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Everything in this video is being used under fair use, and I am making NO profit on any of this, it's simply to showcase my editing.
This is easily the most convincing trailer to get someone to watch this show who might think it's some typical courtroom drama.
Anyone who has seen breaking bad knows that better call saul is not just a courtroom drama
@@Overthinking-rain Unfortunately a lot of people are put off by the first season because they claim it’s “too slow”, although they’re in the minority
@@bryanzzz748 those are the same nimrods who think "Fly" is the "worst" episode of BB
@@kikrinman1450 fly can be boring at times, but worst episode? Hell no
spoils way too much
Hi there! I can't provide my proof, but I happen to be the nephew of one Mr Bob Odenkirk. Your video popped up in my feed shortly after the series ended, and I forwarded it to Bob. He agreed you did some fantastic work here - just wanted to let you know that this was well appreciated! Keep it up!
Haha I have to believe you- that’s insane! Much appreciated you forwarding this, that’s like the highest regard imaginable.

@@johnfrederick3022 That'd be a hell of a long con
Lol 🔥
This could perfectly be the official trailer
For a second I thought it was too, lol dude should be hired
If the sound mixing was better, maybe lol..
spoilers
@@chrisdawson1776 I don't really see a lot. Only thing I can think of is Lalo being in prison, which isn't major
@@chrisdawson1776 Right, that ruins the revelation from the final of season 1
without a doubt one of the best fan trailers I've ever seen
Especially with the choice of music, perfect representation of Jimmy and Kim's relationship
Krinios whatchu doin here
Yoo Krinios watches BCS
Ummm… someone needs to hire you, this is incredible, the music choice, the pacing, the editing, and you managed to do it all without even really spoiling anything, 11/10!!
mixing could use some work but yeah it's brilliant
wait, this is not official trailer????
@@synystera no it is fan made👍
@@benshapirosgreatuncle4060 amazing! Better Call Itemax, I guess.
That was my favourite part of it and something any trailer should aspire to - to tease the show without spoiling it. Way too many trailers do both or neither.
This proves that trailers are an art form themselves, even though we’ve seen the whole series this trailer still gets me hype for it!
This trailer should definitely be used to convince people to watch the show.
"They said they never saw that many star wipes in a row."
glad you picked that up!!!! awesome awesome
"It's never been done."
@@itemaxyou’re awesome for incorporating the star wipes. This trailer is a work of art man
This is genuinely a level of quality I would expect from an official production. Not only is the pacing and editing itself excellent, the way this trailer crafts intrigue and character profiles through the meticulous choices of lines, visuals, and their order, is wonderful storytelling and works great as a trailer to pique a non-viewer's interest.
god i can just rave about all the expert choice in lines at certain points to convey the plot beats of the show. "my brother Jimmy is not a bad person" "one of the smartest people I know yet this is the life you choose" (though the line is not intended for Jimmy, it still acts as a good subversion of expectations) "friend of the cartel" "just make money"
This is beyond the level of quality I would expect from an official production.
To me, this is THE official trailer for Better Call Saul.
All this without even showing any Gene scenes is actually a really good choice. Amazing work
This is genuinely some of the best editing I've ever seen. Totally had me convinced that it is an official trailer. You deserve to be hired by AMC!
i didt even realize it was a fan edit till u said that
The vocals are very quiet compared to the music, too much of the series is spoiled, and the entire ending is just showcasing all the action in the series.
Otherwise yea, it's great.
@@DylanLCutshall its more of a trailer for people who saw the show. otherwise yeah the music could of been a bit louder, but still its a great fanedit
@@dachel683 No, the music is a bit too loud (because you can barely hear the dialogue)
@@DylanLCutshall Maybe the music is a bit loud, but I don't think anything was really spoiled. All it really told you about the show was that it was about a cartel lawyer.
I love how this trailer showcases so much of the show while tip toeing around actual spoilers. My favorite part is the way you inserted Howard's "your one of the brightest legal minds I've known, and this is what you choose". If you've watched the show you know he's saying that to Kim, but to a new viewer you'd assume he was talking to Jimmy, cause that also completely applies to him.
I watched this before I saw the show, and that was exactly what I thought. When I saw he was talking to Kim, I was surprised. It's also surprising how that is right before he gets his brains blown out, and I was none the wiser when it happened.
IDK, I think Chuck saying "you're not a real lawyer" would be pretty spoilery for somebody who hasn't watched the show at all.
@andrewsauer9669 why do you think that's a spoiler? Is it because it's explicitly showing how Chuck feels about Jimmy?
Also mike's "if you're gonna be a criminal, do your homework" is something you would 100% expect is referring to saul
@@jaidsalgado it is the twist of season 1
This is what a true fan of the series looks like. Amazing work, definitely something even Peter and Vince would have been proud of. It undoubtedly resembles their style, using so much symbolism. I enjoyed the transition to black and white and the guitar on the soundtrack, which reminds me of the intro theme. Congrats!
That would be awesome if they saw omg.
Love this comment. Thank you I seriously appreciate it!
@@itemax I really hope they notice your work. What an outstanding homage!
Hope this blows up! I thought I was on the official BCS page while watching this; great work
Thank you all for the amazing comments, I’ve read every single one and I appreciate all the feedback and notes for future trailers. 100k is crazy!!!
I watched this so many times and shared on Reddit; hope you get the attention you deserve bro! Great job
You are insanely good at this, congratulations!
People frequently comment extreme levels of praise to fan trailers that aren’t necessarily deserving. However, this is genuinely incredible work. I’m blown away by this and have rewatched multiple times. Phenomenal editing, choice of music, lines, and shots. Great work; you should be proud of this.
Beautifully edited - the star wipes at the end were absolutely perfect
The guy at the tv station said he's never seen so many star wipes
And how it turns black and white.
@@5Amigos32 it's never been done
bro i cant stop watching
im addicted to this video
That was fucking amazing. I nearly jumped outta my seat when Beefheart came on. What a fantastic song choice too. Really fits the themes of the show and ties into Kim and Jimmy's relationship. It also fits in perfectly with all the other 50s/60s sad ballads that they use. Kinda pisses me off I didn't think of that first cuz Beefheart is my favorite artist lmao.
yeah the electric guitar in the song - not sure if it's like a reverb pedal or something but it reminded me so much of the opening titles track as well, don't know how to describe it but it definitely pushed me to use it more. love that song lol
@@itemax Oh yeah I didn't even notice that. It totally makes sense though since the BCS theme is blues-rock, and Safe as Milk was also blues-rock. They've definitely got a simlar vibe going on.
@@itemax love your work here man! This is the best trailer for the show I’ve ever seen. In regards to the guitar reverb, it definitely fits in the vein of the theme of the show for sure. It’s most likely a true amp spring reverb effect which is period accurate for this type of music and the gear they used. Also used a lot in My Morning Jacket and the like.
The two things I want to say are that I personally dislike the inclusion of the “You’re not a real lawyer” moment as when I first watched the show a few months ago I had no idea about that twist and liked Chucks character so I was so taken aback when that scene happened and I realized Chuck would be the villain of Jimmy’s story. The other thing is that I absolutely love the inclusion of Howard telling Kim she’s the smartest person he knows in this context as if you haven’t watched the show before then you would assume he’s talking to Jimmy and it really adds a special bit to this fan trailer. Amazing work all around, just that one little nitpick I wanted to say.
To be fair, looking at that scene with utterly no context, you could think it's a flashback, you could think it's a scene where Chuck "learns the truth" about Jimmy and feels betrayed, you could think all sorts of things other than what actually happened.
@@kingcrimson4133 or someone who's never seen the show could just see it as a minor argument between the two of them. we only know it as a big scene because we've watched the whole thing already
@@SampleGamez While I understand these interpretations, I do agree that there were better choices for that. Maybe some moment in season 1 where Chuck and Jimmy were being friendly with each other, and contrasts the "No more," line after it to portray it as better times. Something like that. With how it is now, it obviously doesn't break this phenomenal fan trailer.
That's a GREAT job! Loved the connection between the end and the beginning of the video, with the coffee cup. And the detail of the logo with the title disappearing and turning black and white. BCS fans are the best!
thank you! glad you noticed much appreciated!
I don’t even know how to describe this show to people now, it’s just that good. It’s a hero’s journey story. It’s a fall from grace. It’s a story about redemption. It’s about family, forgiveness, atonement, the ties that bind. It was a western. It was a slice of life. It was a love story.
I’m just so sad it’s over! Amazing editing, you’ve convinced me to do another rewatch LOL
After the 20-30th watch of this trailer I still can’t get over how good it is
Thank you for this, like seriously this was masterful.
I've watched this an unhealthy amount of times
(1:19) This hits so hard every single time, love it.
I only realized this wasn't an official trailer by scrolling down to the comments. God damn dude, good job.
Your trailer was actually what got me to watch the show
This is just phenomenal, the song choice, the perfect scenes, not giving away too much while getting you hooked, the scale at the end turning gray representing Gene Takovik was just the icing on the cake
I want more people to watch this show 😭
I originally missed that. Great point. And yes echoing what everyone else feels - phenomenal job. Creative, perfectly paced, intriguing without spoilers
I don’t want more people to watch it honestly. When fandoms get too big they ruin whatever it is about. At least in my opinion
wow, very impressive. love how everything is in rhythm with the music.
this is the greatest trailer i have seen for anything ever. only one or two incredibly minor spoilers, fantastic music choice, very well paced, the fact it starts with the coffee in the cup and ends with the coffee missing the cup, the nice little saul gone reference at the end when the scale goes gray. even the little details like that fact that all the action at 1:52 is all at the top of the screen, so you dont have to shift your eyes around to see it. ive rewatched it like a million times already man so incredibly well done
Dude wtf this is incredibly edited, the cartel lawyer theme, using the JMM conversation with Lalo, cutting from machine gun fire to old ladies playing bingo, the Howard line meant for Kim but retroactively applied to Jimmy, the opening bit in the courtroom, it perfectly sells the tone and scope of the show, this is carpenter sound level shit if not better because its all original
This is now the official trailer for me
no but this is the best fan-made trailer ive seen. the editing is just beautiful. some details i noticed:
00:00 at the start, the coffee falls into the cup; indicating normalcy and order, which is contrast to the end at 2:09; where the cup falls and the coffee spills; symbolic of all the disruption of natural order which makes perfect sense in the context of the show.
the trailer opening basically sums up the entire character of saul; an endlessly witty lawyer who gets what he wants (convincing the jury that the witness testimony is false although wrongfully) be it by unethical means (false defendant) and then cut to: 0:32 "my brother's not a bad person. he can't help himself." beautiful.
plus, the trailer seems to be from the perspective of saul; note how at 0:52 saul seems so innocent and affectionate towards his brother, who then at 0:55 says "you're not a real lawyer!" evidently antagonising saul, hence sauls pov (even in the show's context, saul obstinately believes chuck to be in the wrong).
even saul's silent, sad nodding at 0:57 makes him seem pitiful and his brother the bad guy.
and the gorgeous editing of showing all abnormalities (broken glass, bloodstained seats, cup with bullet hole etc) after lalos rebranding of JMM (his takeover and dominance in sauls life respectively; leading to all the horror that unfolds), and also the outward chaos (the fiery explosion, car crashes but also the money literally flying at 1:55).
i know the stuff i mentioned is rather rudimentary but alas, i couldnt help myself. i just love this edit a lot, ive seen it too many times. i could happily write 100 page analysis on this :)
absolutely astounding
I’ve realized what I return to this for: the cut from the guy dancing, to the gun firing, to the wacky inflatable tube man, with the music, it’s literally perfect. I’ve replayed it ten times today
Ive watched this like 20 times now
This gave me goosebumps.
All without spoiling a single storyline...flawless.
2:03 I don't know why but I love the 50% off guy dancing here
OH MY GOD THIS IS INSANE
How did you make this so perfectly? You showed us just how beautiful this TV series really is. You’ve made me want to watch this all over again, and I didn’t even finish the whole show all that long ago 😂
Truly a MASTERPIECE, and I don’t say that often
To have entertainment like this unravel in my lifetime makes me incredibly grateful.
Holy shit that transition from the gunfire to the bingo game was *phenomenal.*
this is fuckin sick dude. i love when trailers take lines from characters out of context and and reconstruct them to make the viewer think they're talking to or about a specific character when that isn't actually the case and you do that SO WELL here. you encapsulated the whole show without really spoiling anything for someone who's never seen it. exactly what a trailer should do!
also, 1:59-2:09 was probably my favorite part. just something about it hits different. awesome work man!
I just really needed to get this out;
This is honestly one of the best trailers i’ve ever seen, better than pretty much all big budget AAA movies that have been released the past few years and the fact that this is fanmade is MINDBLOWING. Another guy made a Breaking Bad trailer which now has 1 million views and everyone is praising that video for their editing, but this trailer is 10x better in both editing and music choice!!! I dont know what the creator of this video is currently working with but i sure hope its in the hollywood film industry because thats where you deserve to be working!
Might be the most replayable 45 seconds ever in cinematic history
Incredible job at pacing, transitions, music, sound editing, detail, and for covering so many noteworthy shots from the series to establish the overall vibe and direction the show takes over its run. This work is insane. Keep making content please. Also, those star wipes at the end really got me.
I already miss the show so much
The masking at 0:51 so tasteful damn
This is still the greatest fan made trailer I have ever seen. Its absolutely perfect. The song use, the pace its all 10/10
Dude, the way you edited lalo saying "Just Make Money" in with the music is completely genius, it's stuck in the back of my head at all times now
This makes me want to do a rewatch so bad 🔥🔥
I thought this was an actual trailer until i saw the comments
Absolutely love this! I'm sharing this with everyone that hasn't seen the show yet!
This trailer actually got me to watch Better Call Saul, so job well done! Magnificent work, my guy!
What an awesome trailer wow ! It really captures the series as a whole. Great work.
This trailer made me want to watch the series so bad. Just when I am about to appreciate this trailer I realized that this is not the official one. This is underrated bro.
This got me to watch the show and breaking bad, thanks.
that last finaly part where its just the balance thing from his logo is so good reference saul gone with his final fate
I've watched this like 10 times. It is stuck in my head. This is absolutely amazing
The black and white at the end with the logo turning colorless is so brilliant
I loved Breaking Bad, but kept putting off BCS. I’m starting it tonight, you’ve convinced me.
How was your experience buddy?
What'd you think?
Fucking HELL that was a good ass trailer!
Perfect trailer, watched it about 10x in a row lol! So perfectly edited and the scene and dialogue choices are perfect for getting across the show, esp to those 'boring compared to BrBa' people, the repeating of phrases and the trailer narrative formed from connecting dialogue from separate scenes. Perfection! My only criticism and this may be specifically down to headphone listening, the dialogue levels seemed quite low compared to the music so felt some of the softer spoken line hooks didn't have as much impact and sometimes a bit hard to hear at the music's louder moments. I seen the show so many times I know the lines of dialogue word by word at this point but wonder if they would come across to anyone watching for first time.
the scale turning black and white in the end was a genius touch, obsessed with this
I’m sure there are lots of other neat subtleties to talk about, but one of the more “in your face” ones that I love is Jimmy counting down “Aaand 5, 4, 3, 2-“ *cuts to Gus walking away from explosion*
The pacing is awesome overall
Holy shit, this is one the best fan made trailers I've ever seen.
Best Show Ever. No doubt in my mind.
Dude, I watched the video thinking it was an official trailer first and I thought to myself "They put the same effort on making the series as they put on making the trailer" this is awesome
This is fucking incredible.
They should make Trailers like this more often
Holy crap this is such an amazing trailer, fits so perfectly. Great music choice, great editing, great pace, great clip selection. I love the transition you used at the end and how you animated the title, so damn cool. This is probably way better than an official trailer from BCS which have usually been great. Outstanding work, gave me chills.
that ending goes harddd
my favorite part is the shot with the suits at 1:29 in sync with the music
Why is this THIS well made? Good job man
Good coordination and planning
i have watched this trailer so many times cause it's really that good
Just fantastic. So many trailers fail to convey what a production is even going to be about, but this nails it and nails it in style.
What a send off to one of the greatest shows ever made
It's edited beautifully, though I think the music is a bit too loud and makes it hard to tell what the characters say at times :)
You need new headphones
@@ripvanwinkles nah, the audio mixing could be better at some parts, as the music is slightly louder than the voices at some sections
@@catclaws119 i liked it tho
@@catclaws119 It's made to be like that
The only moment I felt that happened was when Lalo was saying “You want to be a friend of the cartel? Then get yourself a new motto.” Everything else seemed fine
2 years later, still got goosebumps.
the amount of joy this gives me is incredibly unprecedented. thank you so much for this
I have watched this video multiple times a day
I THOUGHT THIS WAS OFFICIAL FOR A SECOND!
Amazing work with this!
I’ve already watched this like 30 or 50 times.
Dude i can't stop rewatching this! It's so BADASS
One of the best edits I've ever seen, without a doubt.
The star wipes lmao
Bro this trailer got me hyped for a show I already watched, amazing editing!
The ONLY thing that could make this an 11/10 is maybe upping the sound of the dialogue and lowering the music in some parts! I love it!
Agreed.yochurch!
This video is insane, I keep coming back to it. Just beyond phenomenal!
BRURHHHHH HOW IS THIS NOT AN OFFICIAL TRAILER I'VE ALREADY SEEN THE ENTIRE SERIES AND THIS GOT ME SO EXCITED FOR IT AGAIN! YOU NEED TO GET HIRED FR!
Making trailers truly is an art and you‘ve mastered it. Convinced me to finally watch the show!
You gonna regret not watching it earlier but also congrats on finding this masterpiece
@@bryanp5843 i started watching it a couple years ago bc I thought BrBa was great and everyone was talking about it but had trouble getting into it (not necessarily related to the show) but def going to give it another try now
This is brilliant. I love it! Keep doing what you're doing, this is perfect - from music choice to scene choice. Just amazing.
This is so beautiful- I love coming back to watch it.
That star transition was really damn clever and was a brilliant reference
Omg Colton! This is AMAZING!!! Absolutely brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is truly spectacular. A masterclass of editing and story telling. From one trailer editor to another, I just wanna say, bravo.
Absolutely stunning
I keep rewatching this god it’s so good
Great editing and music choice. Definitely using this to convince people to watch the show
For a moment I thought it was official, holy cow
That's really incredible
Very underated trailer, I hope this blows up soon!
this is absolutely insane. i rarely comment on videos but i couldn't leave this one without tipping my hat to you
