For your viewing pleasure... D_R's Issue 22 Trailer

So I'm a couple days early - it's gratifying to know that even with all the technical issues I ran into, the last-minute errors I found, and so forth, this thing still got done on time, and I gotta say... I think it's one of the best ones I've done yet.

Here it is on YouTube (the link goes to the HD version - I'd suggest watching it in the larger player if you can).

And of course, you can always download it from the Videos page of my website. (If you want to share that version, though, please direct people to the page, not to the specific link to the video.)

Major shoutouts to:

• The players on the Beta Testers channel for helping me film powersets, trials, missions, and all the good stuff you see in here, plus suggestions of neat things I might otherwise have missed.
• Composer Thomas Vo, who created "In Ruins" specifically for this video. (It says a lot that another project he was working on at the same time as mine... was for NASA.) If you are looking for a professional composer, I'd advise you to visit his website at http://www.thomasvomusic.com - hint, hint, Paragon!
• Beastyle, TheNet, Arbiter Warrant, and Alpha Wolf for redname help, level bumps, and answers to occasional weirdo questions.
• All the players at the November Plummit who saw the announcement about Issue 22, and who promptly came right over to me and said, "You ARE filming a trailer for this... right?"

Love it! Makes me want to play i22 when it hits.

Awesome job, DR!

I always run your vids a few times in a row.
for initial impact
for rhythm and music (also part of editing)
for images and editing

As always, I think you've hit this one outta the park.

Another great trailer!

Just watched it, thought it captured the mood quite well, and I do like that you've included the Who Will Die stuff in there as well...I know there'll be no official memorial service just yet, but maybe you'd consider doing one for us, the player's benefit? And by that, I mean asking us to attend and just setting it to appropriate music, etc.



S.

That was pretty awesome.

Alice falling down the rabbit hole made me giggle for the rest of the trailer. I enjoyed that scene in-game, but the rabbit-hole aspect never struck me until this trailer.

Nicely done as usual.

Loved the falling down the hole bit, chased by tentacles!
... i've been in enough hentai to know where that is going!

Is it Tuesday yet?! Excellent job, as always, Michelle. I always look forward to these.

I give you 2 carrots up! (would have given 3 but ran out of paws with opposable thumbs)

Awesome work, as always.

Completely totally awesome as always, you rock D_R!

Fantastic work, D_R, as usual!

Awesome, as usual.

(Insert obligatory and oft-repeated "Paragon need to outsource their trailers to DR" commentary here as you feel appropriate.)

Epic.

Promoted this in a few places.

Simply awesome.

Oh man oh man oh man why isn't it Tuesday yet?

Really awesome job Michelle. *gives two thumbs up and huggles*

Bravo, D_R!

I can tell you put a little bit of your soul into that one. It was like watching a new flagship launch.



(Note to self: Do not enter Dark Astoria if already feeling depressed...)

Another great job! I love how you compose these... the Phalanx saluting the departed Statesman vs. the Arachnos elite saluting the returned Red Widow. Brilliant bit of juxtaposition there.

Good work on the video.

I wish Staff and BM were in this issue so they could have been featured.

Awesome. Just plain awesome.

Great job DR! You really hit the Awesome Button this time.





Is it Tuesday yet?

Awesome video, nice work as always.

Quick question though. What was that staff used when showcasing Staff Fighting near the end? It's not one of the default models, so wondering if you just somehow demo edited that in or if it's a badge reward or something.
