Hi everybody,

I've just completed a first trailer for my new movie and need to test screen it. Feedback would be much appreciated.

(NEW TRAILER LINKED) on 25 Feb 2010

Nice! Very convincing actors and excitingly shot.

I think you might be able to tighten up the trailer a hair...shorten it a bit, or add a little more story oriented material...the last 45 seconds feels a bit repetitive to me, only in terms of advancing the trailer.

Overall, very nice, though!
 
I think your footage looks really sharp. Seems like it could be an interesting feature.

However, I think the trailer has a lot of sloppy edits. The music cues are odd at places (and weirdly transition from one to another). And, overall it just lacks a sort of narrative flow. After watching it, I didn't really have a good idea what it was about, who the characters were, or what they were attempting to accomplish. I thought the movie was about blood diamonds until I read the synopsis. Maybe you're intentionally trying to be vague, but I started tuning out about a minute in.
 
Looks good, seems ambitious and interesting. I will watch out for this.

What did you shoot with?

I really like the changes you made. It moves a lot quicker and I can follow the story a lot better.

Nice work!
