Never to Live Trailer

Make sure and watch it at 4K if your computer can handle it! It's shot with Sanity hack at 1080p, but I exported the timeline at 4K so that Youtube wouldn't rob as much from it.
This is a trailer for a local author's book. She saw a commercial I shot a few months ago and asked me to do a trailer for her book. I was REALLY happy with how a lot of the footage turned out. Shot with a variety of lenses on the vibrant color profile with everything but saturation turned down -2 and saturation at 0.
Lenses were:
Lumix 14-140
MD Rokkor 50mm F1.7
MD Rokkor 28mm F2.8
MD Sigma 35-70mm F2.8

This is my own cut of it, as the music that she had me put on the actual trailer was done by her brother (despite my attempts to convince her that more professional sounding stock options would be a better choice. He didn't do a bad job, but it definitely sounded fake. Also, I wasn't thrilled with how the titles came out, and how much she wanted me to put on the titles.
Anyway, enough talking. Let me know what you think!


This is the other version with titles and different music. It does make these scenes make more sense with the titles:

Your version looks better for sure, I think you did a great job, however, I will say it's a little difficult to understand what's going on or what's the point. JMO.
 
Yeah, without the text telling the plot, it's really just a collection of shots that don't really tell any story, unfortunately. But the titles weren't my favorite so I kept them out of my version. Thank you for your feedback! I was just hoping to get a little feedback on how people liked my color grading, shots, the look of it and what not!
