Second teaser from D_R is now available!
Yay, Samuraiko/DR.
Good work as always.
picking nits: shame it wasn't a touch longer, in a couple of the scenes I was absorbing when it cut over to the next.
I was disappointed in it at first. Mainly because I read the title as being a trailer rather than a teaser. When I came to grips with it being a teaser I was mostly okay with it except for the music. The music started out okay, but then it just kinda stayed there when it felt like it should've gone somewhere.
Still decent enough - on par with some of the official stuff, I'd say - but not D_R's best work, in my opinion.

Nomtastic and nomworthy work as always, Miss Sam!
Peeps I hope do *not* die:
1. BABsy! -- My favoritest of the Surviving Eight, he's a good friend and a nomtastic sidekick, and he gives me treats and we hang out at Luther's BBQ Shack (Paragon City's BESTEST barbecue!). I would have to go rogue to track down his killer(s)! Bad enough that my beloved Galaxy City is going to be trashed!
2. Synopsis -- Miss Mynx would mourn the loss of her sidekick and would caterwaul for days ... and nights!
3. Statesguy -- He would normally be at the top of my "Kill ... NOW!" list, but I don't want Miss Cende and Miss Sam to give me *another* toxic waste flea dip!
4. Positron -- Tempting as it is to include him on my *next* list, I would not want Miss Sora's heart to be broken. ((Even kitties support Nerd Flirting!)
Peeps whom the Devs should kill ... NOW!
1. Manticore -- Second only to Statesguy in uselessness, I would normally root for the runt of the litter (since they're usually the cutest), but I say "NEUTER DA BUM!" ((I wonder if Protean would accept payment in fish-stix, shiny buttons, and boxes of Mice-A-Roni?!))
The most likely candidate to be killed during the story arc:
1. Citadel -- He's an android. They can rebuild him and make him better than he was.

So, what demise befell BaBs in the vid? He's trapped with survivors in Galaxy?

Thank you - SmartSound (the artist over on AudioJungle) has some fantastic music.
Yay, Samuraiko/DR.

With only about 1:20 to work in, it's really hard to give the music time to develop, and I was more after subtlety and suspense. When the full trailer hits, I intend to go as HUGE as I can manage. (And if I had $1500 to license the cue I want for the trailer, I'd do it, but well - the Ko has no budget for these things.)
Still, the feedback is noted and appreciated! |

Yeah, I was trying not to be *too* critical. Saying 'not D_R's best work' is like saying 'not Kurosawa's best work' - it implies that it's still good and worth one's time to watch. At least, that's what I was thinking when I wrote it.

Now there's something to strive for... to be the "Kurosawa of COH videos." I could definitely live with that. (As long as I'm not... oh, what the hell is his name? There's this one director that people are ALWAYS like, 'OMG why is he still making movies?'... total blank on the name.)

Man DR this is like your 3 or 4th video that almost brought me to tears... T_T Ya men cry too, but then again anything emotional almost get the better of me... >_> ^.^" *Waves it off.* Never mind that move on move on! ^^" Great work DR I thought I would never see a teaser video from you again! Today MUST be a good day!

Trust me, you are much much closer to Kurosawa than you are to Uwe Boll or Michael Bay

For some reason, it reminded me of this. Not sure why, but it was awesome either way.
Teasers are short and fast. Don't worry - when I do the trailer, it'll be long. |
Never fear (and please don't misunderstand) - it is quality work and light years ahead of what most (certainly I) could do. Good job.
My first thought...
"Not even they live forever..."
..."Except for Sister Psyche who can mind ride."
She's also my guess for who's going to die! As she can die, and then just be given a new updated look and still be Sister Psyche!

Glad to see that so far it's gotten a good response (it's now up on the COH facebook page too, although more people there are interested in expressing who they hope will/won't die rather than opinions on the vid, but oh well). It gets people talking about the game, which is the point of an ad!

(*whispers*) "Who Wants To Live Forever?" by Queen would have been really nomtastic for this trailer, Miss Ko-rasawa!
((BTW, no worries. BABSy is okay. I rescued him from the Freedom Corps building before it blew up. He's resting comfortably in the KattKave!))

Other tracks I thought about using - "No Good About Goodbye" by Dame Shirley Bassey, "Tears of an Angel" by Ryandan, "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd (the live version off the PULSE album), "The End of Everything" by Chris Isaak, "Forever" by Vertical Horizon, "I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye" by Linda Eder, "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish, and "Close My Eyes Forever" by Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford.

First off, great teaser vid. Loved the scenarios.
I go back to Matt in the Ustream from SDCC, calling it a murder mystery and commenting about the player having to decide their part or their feelings about the whole business.
I think they know full well who is going to die and how. I have a feeling that it will be early in the story as a catalyst to the full plot, not the climax of the story. |

When you said Friday that you were going to do a new video for the weekend, I knew you could do it. I just didn't suspect you were going to do something so fancy. Wow, well done! *applause*
Now there's something to strive for... to be the "Kurosawa of COH videos." I could definitely live with that. (As long as I'm not... oh, what the hell is his name? There's this one director that people are ALWAYS like, 'OMG why is he still making movies?'... total blank on the name.)

"Well, there's going to be some light music and a short note of apology saying, 'The universe ended last week, we're really sorry, we don't know what you're doing here, didn't you get the message?'"- Steve Moffat
Not sure if there is a better place to say anything than here, but its especially obvious in this (very well made) video...
Why the heck is BAB's so ungodly HUGE his arm is the size of Statesman's torso..
Hes a down and dirty street fighter (with super punchy gloves naturally) with no apparent super powers. While were blowing up Galaxy city and revamping atlas park, can we please do something about the Brawlers NPC model? He is a much beloved character in the game, but he should not be so comicly oversized.
My two cents.
