The first of many... teasers, that is!

I think one of the creepiest things about the Seers is that whispering you can hear when you're close to them.

Which is why for this vid, I turned off the music (but left on the sound effects) and walked into a group of four Seers, then recorded what I heard. Then I layered it into the teaser, with the volume slowly getting louder and louder.|

I REALLY wish they'd fix the sound problem in demo files.

While I've a character or two I'll do the same on - one of whom was created by the COT and has vowed to make them pay for it - I can't really say they're "gruesome," other than their most recent incarnation. |

If anything, they get some degree of sympathy for what turned them this way. Several of my heroes (and likely a villain or two) would be more than happy to help them *find* a way to break the contract that made them what they are and return them to their bodies - though (heroside) they'd still have to face what they'd done to the people who had discovered them.
Just remember, they are what they are now because *they showed mercy.*
Woot, WW and Zwill have both seen it now and liked it... but I don't think this one has made the rounds at PS like mine used to. They're probably waiting for the full trailer.
(What'd be AWESOME is if WW goes to Protean and Co. and says, "Okay, John? For the Mother of Mercy hospital? Watch this... okay, now go scare the living s*** out of the players.")

Once again, Major Kudos, DR!

I think if that ever happened, Mother would probably be the one behind it. That woman is not to be trusted, even by those loyal to Cole.

This makes it official.
Black Pebble needs to MAN UP and buy Michelle LUNCH!
And then over lunch they can discuss what kind of support Paragon Studios can offer Samuraiko Productions in the way of making the most awesome CoH Advertising to be had on youtube in advance of Issue 21. 
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

1) Black Pebble's in Mountain View, I'm in Seattle.
2) If you're hoping he's read this thread or seen the video, vain hope. (In fact, considering he's not in this video either, safe bet is he won't watch it.) Zwill has seen it. War Witch has seen it. As far as I know, they're the only rednames who have.
3) Black Pebble may be the brand manager for PS, but that doesn't necessarily give him any control over their advertising budget, or who they can allocate any of it to for contractual purposes.
So I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it is not happening. I hate the thought, it hurts like hell still, but I've accepted it. Mostly.

As usual, very impressive (if a little... disturbing -- but in a good way!)

I always love your videos. This one is perfect with the music and shakey camera work.

Is it unsettling that I was not unsettled by this video?
Just became less enthusiastic for CoH: Freedom?

DR I love the video, reminds me of the beginning of Tales From the Darkside. That being said, I am with Clawstriker, I wasn't creeped out, just grinning from ear to ear.
Of course, most of that was just seeing that you're making some more videos about Co*. If this was a movie trailer, I would be making plans to see the movie, at midnight, alone, by a graveyard, with a electrical storm raging outside, with the lights off, and a baseball bat with nails through the head in my hands.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

Nope, not unsettling. Check your PMs - I had a question for you.|

FWIW, I really don't mind it when people don't like my work - I just prefer an honest, well-thought-out explanation and constructive criticism to "ur work sux" (which yes, I still get). If there's something more you'd rather see (as long as it's POSSIBLE), I'll keep it in mind for a future attempt. I still have a LOOOOOONG way to go on my videography skills.

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Can she be a porter for Cole?
Is Golden Girl opposed to Cole's law? Even if it has pineapple?

She'd be the top. Or at least Delovely.

Geez, Steelclaw makes it look so easy...
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
That was very nice, DR. Especially the ending.
Be well, people of CoH.
