I SAID HOT DAMN! We've actually finished the movie trailer for my buddy's film class. 
I estimate around 50-60 hours of work for 5 minutes of film.
My only regret is the professor wanted raw footage as well and all our raw footage includes me swearing. It's a melange of bad language, if you will. Camera pans left..."Fuck"...tracking shot..."God Damnit"...Medium close-up..."Fucking shit box"...Master Shot..."Son of a Bitch." It's not angry swearing, though...it's more like Tourette's or performance art.
Maybe the professor can combine footage of a scene with coverage so he can hear me saying fuck from a few different angles. High Art!
The consensus is the trailer is a real kick in the pants. I added the soundtrack to Sleepy Hollow which, combined with men exhibiting horrible acting skills while dressed in drag, equates to a landmark in bad film.
I get to see my face on a screen in front of people for the second time in two weeks, so I can't complain.

no I've not heard of the Nova film series.
I have a new set of goals, thanks.
