Idoru: a trailer is not just a fan movie :] If someone who knows nothing about PlaneShift is to watch a trailer and see a mass of people running at a city casting spells and starting combat, they're going to walk in expecting a PvP-like game where this is the main activity. A trailer is like an advertisement, and it's supposed to show off the best of what the game can offer. I don't think combat is it at the moment.
Keep in mind that this is a personal opinion.
Its a good point, but what would you suggest an alternative to it would be like? Just people stood at Harnquist chatting? A few shots of people who have spent hours at the gold mine hacking away in silence? Maybe im just being small minded but I cant think of a better way to go about it.
When I think of all the fan vids ive seen, I can only think of 2 catagories, Ones that are heavily combat orientated (e.g. Datruth's vids, WotH promotional vid) and those that have a totally OOC premise (PS Simpsons, Jingle Enkis).
In my opinion the best pro-PS vid thus far is the "evil ways" vid. The reason for this is that in the video it captures almost every area (at that time) in PS, it also showed every character type and every animal, rogue critter.... yadda yadda yaddaa. Every combat style vid I have seen lacks the total encapsulated world of PS, and that is fine for what they are. If the idea behind this video is to be a true 'trailer' then it must be thought out completly, to include every area type, no matter how boring you may feel it is. It must include each and every characture type, along with all NPCs and every life form we have.
The main goal should be to do as i have mentioned, but do it in an atractive, attention grabbing manner. Whatever theme is used wether it be combat, story or narrative the overall content should be the same.
Just my two tria 
If you want that, i could do it.
If you've seen my vids, you'll see i have the graphical capability to make it look nice, and make it seem streamless and flowing.
I could make a trailor, yet i've not decided on it, my number one priority is to finally get that Peacer video finished.
I make videos for you guys, so if a trailor is what you want, that that's what you'll get.
I'll start work on it, either middle of january, or end, hopefully released near end of february.
I've also started work using
Sony Vegas, 7.0I'm thinking of doing a Speed effect, that goes through ALL of the game, in a very fast passed way.
Basically me running from oja, to Hydlaa, to the BD, to Magic shop, to the Dungeon, to the arena, to the volcano, in a 1-2 minute clip.
That would be just part of the video, but would give you a nice look.
And plus i would add some nice music to make it sound good, i've been told my music choices have been mostly good thus far.
So hopefully you might like that.
Look forward to seeing my videos look nicer and have more effects.
If you have any other ideas, just post them here.
