Issue 19's not live yet, but D_R's latest video is!

I really thought they were going to get the issue live before I finished this thing, but I guess not, so to tide you over, here's the Ko's latest video effort! As per usual, it's on YouTube and my website.

NOTE: YT says the vid's in dispute coz of the music, so some of you might not be able to see it. If that's the case, hit my website and download it from there. But if you want to share, please share the link to the Videos page, NOT the hotlink to the file itself, please?)

BTW... this is the last promotional trailer I'm doing for COH. I know I've retired before, and I came back. And I'll still be making videos, but I want to diversify my production reel with other stuff, like music vids, commercials for other media, etc (these will include more COH vids, just not TRAILERS). So someone else is going to have to pick up the slack for fanmade trailers for the game. A lot of folks have been asking me about how to make videos for COH - start cranking stuff out.

Good gods, that sent shivers down my spine. Excellent work as always.

Can I ask what the piece of music was? Felt very epic indeed.

Hey, I blew up cars in my INCARNATE vid... does that count?

The first piece is a slightly edited version of "Finale" by John Williams from the HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN score. The second piece is the latter half of "The Quidditch World Cup" by Patrick Doyle from the HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE score.

(BTW, no, I did not select two HP scores just coz of the film coming out this weekend - I have been a longstanding fan of these composers for over twenty years.)

As usual, an excellent job! Hopefully, you will consider continuing working on CoH vids in the future.

Those opening scenes were unbelievable, simply amazing.

I understand your desire to diversify, but hope you'll revisit CoH trailer-making if the mood ever alpha strikes you. Since I subscribed to CoH a year and a half ago, I have watched all of your CoH trailers, some of them several times over.

I have normally waited for your trailers with more anticipation than official trailers, not only because of their quality (which is on par with official production values), but moreso because they generally reveal more details about upcoming issues.

Scenes from your trailers come to mind whenever I think about the different issues, and in this way you have helped me to understand CoH's evolution before I arrived. Thank you. Your work will be remembered.

Gorgeous work as always, Miss DR!

I'm sorry that you'll be away from us, but I understand the wish to diversify the scope of your professional portfolio.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with next, and I hope that a future CoH project will include a certain 'Feline Fury'!

Just watched the video as a matter of fact. Michelle is a virtuoso of CoX videos.

Goosebumps.

A fantastic trailer as always. I particularly liked the first clip with Apex and War Witch, but I've always been fond of their story, along with Horus. I wasn't actually that excited about the incarnate task forces, but you've gone and done it for me.

Nice work!

Absolutely amazing!

I'm actually glad you've decided to move away from the Trailers and into "purer" creations that are more completely your own. You have an amazing talent that I believe will be better showcased if not tied down to showcasing a list of issue features.

Once again, I bow in your August Presence.

Sure sure sure. I've heard that one before. You claim this is your last one. And then I20 is gonna knock your socks off so hard, you'll have to come back for one last epic video.

And then you can really retire for real.

Exceptionally done; great pacing, choice music, magnificent imagery reveals, and exquisite segments especially the epic view looking up from the water at Cole and Richter (did I miss any adjectives?)!!

Take a bow, Michelle!
Truth be told, I was racking my brains on the best way to start the video... do I show the Praetorians? The Phalanx? What's the mood? But then I realized that we were finally seeing the next chapter of these stories that had been started so long ago, and bam-bam-bam, those three shots fell into place.

I have FORTY videos on my list to make for CITY OF HEROES, none of which are 'trailers' for the game. They are all music videos, parodies, etc. Maybe now I can start working on them.

Not happening, no, I don't care how brilliant I-20 is. Because the other videos I intend to make (see the above-mentioned list of 40) include several epic ones.

Still, I'm glad everyone is enjoying this one, and I'm happy to know my trailers are going out on a high note.

Someone on the forums apparently dislikes me:

I wonder if that stems from someone who read this thread or the "What is Zombie Man?" thread (where someone states I should be one of the Seven Legendary Forumites, whatever the hell that implies).

Ahem... allow me to translate... I have my patented Steelclaw Translat-o-tron 2000 here...

"Showing more talent than I could possess even after years of training, camera-work that is (quite frankly) beyond me, and a dedication to the craft that has eluded me since demorecording began, here's the latest demorecord from a forums superstar whom I must slander to make myself feel more like a man."

Ah... much better.

That must be my evil clone, Dark Deej! He says EXACTLY the opposite of what is true!

Don't fret, Michelle; there's always one kid in the classroom that has to be the a$%^$@ of the universe to get attention; in this case, that would be the moron who posted that.

If it means anything, your efforts are greatly appreciated by the Major Deej household! The family each gives you 4 out of 4 stars on this one!
