Trailer at DVinfo.net

Hey Everyone,
I haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I would post one of the trailers I have been doing this year. This is e-mailed to the bride once the video is finished and before the DVD is delivered. It meant just to build excitement about the DVD. I know the music is very dramatic, but I always present this as a parody of the Adventure Movie trailer. My brides have been very happy with it so far this year. Let me know what you think. This is something I am going to use in my more expensive package for next year. Thanks ahead of time for the comments. The music is from Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's chest, and the encoding is on2.

I loved the music! Overall the editing was well done. When the music really picked up I think you should have maybe picked up the pace of your cuts as well. The music picks up once more and you up the pace at that point, but I think it would have been effective to up the pace twice. I also understand that you're working within the limitations of the footage you have too.

The only thing that really bothered me was the live audio at the end. To me it REALLy did not fit with the rest of the video at all. I would really recommend taking it out.

Hey Travis,
Thanks for he comments. This one was hard to decide which shot to use on the ceremony stuff. I had so much good sunset stuff, but didn't really know where to go on the ceremony. It felt a little awkward to me too. This is a freebie thing I'm doing to really get familiar with condensing the day into like 2 minutes. Thanks again...
Bill
