Tips

Your approach to creating a trailer is commendable. The music worked well with it and you had your fingertips on a pretty good visual idea, but its execution causes it to fall flat. It's a bit too wordy. Flash is more effective as a visual medium and trailers are supposed to cut to the chase enough to make the audience want to come back for the feature. This project plays as a synopsis rather than an enticing bit of storytelling. If you ever create another trailer, always keep in mind three things:

1) Make the audience eagerly wonder, "What happens next?"
2) Use a minimal amount of title cards reserving it only for the project's title and words or phrases that evoke anticipation.
3) Use thought provoking or senses shattering visuals.

You may want to rethink the name of your character. Though you may have never heard of it, Erik Larsen of Image comics created a cyborg soldier named Super Patriot who had his own comic books and was even made into an action figure by McFarlane Toys. A simple name change may keep people who are familiar with the character from thinking you're infringing on copyright and / or being unoriginal.

Overall, I think you have a pretty good sense of drama that is much better suited for a feature than a trailer. You also know how to pick music that fits a mood. I wish you luck on the series.

Thanks for the tips. I've never heard of the series you mentioned, but now that I have, I think I'll think of another name.
