2. I couldn't see the video part

but the sound was certainly captivating. :scared:

[Ava]

3. you couldn't?

odd.. i don't think anyone else is having that problem.

here's another vid link for you

9. I viewed it on YouTube, because my old Mac won't take a Quicktime upgrade

I found the young man's words and the music engaging, but I prefer your "Film Your Issue" version.

[Ava]

10. they are two completely different things

but i undestand what you mean.. style wise. the film your issue version was never meant to serve as a promo for the full length and isn't connected to the full length film.

the "teaser" trailer is just that.. just a teaser. i don't want to give away too much in a preview, because then what is the purpose of the full length documentary? ;)

i'm hoping to have the full length up in mid-march.. so hopefully you'll like it. :hi: :)

5. OK, I'll be honest

I love the final panel with the title shown. I think what is being said is wicked powerful, stuff people really need to hear.

OK, now the bad news :) The showing of the words that are being said through the entire trailer comes across badly to me. I had to watch it twice because the first time I really did not listen or read, I just kept thinking that I was looking at some CT video off youtube and really tuned it out. I would much rather have seen the person speaking.

6. sorry you didn't like it

i'm not showing the person's face until i release the film though... which will only be in about two weeks.

the film doesn't have the words like the promo does.. so hopefully you'll like it. ;) :hi:

7. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing

The promo held my attention, the music is anticipatory, I kinda liked seeing the words w/out seeing the person talking. It added to what held my attention and there was no distraction of looking at the person and/or background stuff.

:thumbsup:

8. thanks vard28
