Thank you Tom Fulp for your support man, really appreciate it, and Allan for helping me out with getting this thing ready to be viewed.

Before continuing, the sound designer of this flash, Glenn (Caruu, placed in the credits by accident) had received devastating news on the last day I had finished the visual work. His uncle Kenneth Goa past away on January 9th 2009. Let us acknowledge that. His memorial is spotted at the end of the credits.

Anyhow, I want to apologize for the insane file size for the short flash, and the length it took me to create.

A pitch trailer for Skyfall Studios' project for a feature film idea. This is the flash version of the pitch in it's original format,and It will soon be up on Youtube.

Set in the 1940's, the story takes place in the shores of England (Wales as reference) a few years after World War II. It's about kids who want to be heroes; It's about a man who is trying to escape his violent past; It's about a being who fought against his own brothers; It's about sisters who had lost each other.

The story was inspired by the events of World War II ,and the idea was inspired by a children's short story I read ages ago, as well as various of other movies: Atonement (2007), The Most Dangerous Game (1932) , Lady in the Water (2005-2006)

I made this pitch to not only express my ideas, but to express my love on films ,and my love for 2D animation as well. So far, the movie concept is in a very early stage, and this pitch will only help me and Skyfall Studios to gather support in the near future.

Dear NG, next time I'll try and come up with a flash that has a good time limit ,and an reasonable file size.

Seriously though, what movie isn't WIN that has shark-men in it?

Probably the best flash animation I've ever seen, voices instead of text would have been nice though.

"...wow"

This is amazing. For a long time I have wondered if it were a good decision to do this, but with my book, and you have inspired me to do so. An amazing trailer, amazing art, and it looks almost professional, like a full-length, "Comming soon to theaters near you" movie.

Somehow reminds me of "The Iron Giant". I think it's because of the art style, it's very similar to "The Iron Giant"s. Also, the war, and the missiles, and the hats!! And the look of the main character. In case you may have misinterpreted, tat is NOT a bad thing.

I would love to see this as a full length movie, with polished, professional voice acting and everything.

That has got to be the best art i've seen in a flash animation. And yes, I know that there are some REALLY talented artists on newgrounds. The style kind of reminded me of Miazaki. (If you don't know it, google it. Might be spalled wrong, though)
All in all, great job. And waiting for more.

Oh, and it says it's a trailer in the description.

"fine"

I know the visuals and animations are good but where the hell is entertainment? Is it a trailer? Then mention it. I watched the whole thing and left with nothing. What is the point of all of this. I don't come here to Newgrounds to appreciate how good the animators are. I want to be entertained.
