"Looking good."
date: September 11, 2003
Haunters trailer - nice font, very nice graphics (how the hell did you do those 3D bits?) and whilst the carole doesn't quite manage to pull off the 'eerie lone singer' effect, it has a good stab at it. Also the skeleton - not quite the shock I think it was supposed to be, but we get the message.
I suppose you just need to practise to perfect the timing and so on to invoke emotions more effectively.
I also like the animation of the guy with the torch - reminds me of broken sword a bit.
Ethonia - again, nice graphics, although I'm not as keep on the music and it's a shame I can't speak German.
After doing all the artwork for it, it seems like a bit of a waste not translating it later.
I'm left with a desire to see more of your 'H(a)unters' animation, so it's done its job I suppose.
Still, whilst the movies are looking good, I wouldn't reccommend the trailers in their own right.
Author's Response:
The skeleton thing at the end of the haunters trailer wasn’t supposed to be anything shocking, just a quick flash of something(character) which might be in the movie.
The shocking stuff in the final movie will happen after a lot of (but not too long of a wait) suspense and build up.
As for Ethonia, I don’t see it as a waste since the audience is mostly (if not only) German speaking viewers.
Originally I didn’t plan on putting Ethonia in this 2 trailer movie (or even releasing it at all to english speaking viewers for that matter).. But there was enough space to fit it in so I did.
And thanks for the review! :]
