New Action/Drama trailer. "THE FIRE"

IndianFM, Thanks for asking, although virtually none of the actual audio from the film is in the trailer, so it's hardly a sample. But we do dual system sound, I record stereo to the camera - either using the on-cam mics (for run-and gun) or a matched pair of Shure SM-81 condensers. We also have a Marantz PMD-670 compact flash recorder that the sound guy wears, he switches between a Sennheiser ME-66/K6 on a boom pole or another Shure SM-81. We have a Sennheiser MKE-431 that we sometimes use for getting direct dialogue or for doing ADR. We try not to overlook sound because we know sound can make it or break it.
 
One quick point. If you have a no-name cast, don't list all of them in the trailer, since nobody will know who they are, and when you do that it's supposed to be a selling point. Obviously since nobody knows them, it's not and just slows down the trailer.

Also in the trailer with that music, take out that clip of I assume a mother, hugging her son, it doesnt fit the music at all, other wise the rest flows well.
 
I totally appreciate everyone's critiques, I have just uploaded a very slightly modified version you might want to check out. I went back to the font-effect that everyone liked so much about the original teaser, and added a "flame" particle emitter behind them. Some of the cuts got modified as well.
Sorry though, I'm still promoting my "not-yet-name" actors with prominent placement in the teaser. I guess my thinking on that continues to be that, at this time, I'm promoting them as much as the movie. There will be time to promote the film in the fall.
