-The fade in/out of the "Once more into the megalith" text seems unnecessary.
I could probably go either way on this. Having the fade ins does make the text more consistent throughout the video, but the intro text has a different style anyway, I suppose. I might try a version without the fades.
-The aggressively blinking title screen rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Maybe my eyes are tired but I didn't like it.
More feedback from others on this would be good, as I have conflicting reports on this. A couple of other people have said they like it, so I'm not sure.
-Once it settled though, the title screen looked very good. Is that part really a placeholder? That "AuGMENTED" looks great.
The text art in there is final, I think, but we're looking at getting some different background art. Something like that.
-I love the way you did the mechs introduction, with the pause/black bars/name, after showing them being badasses. The exception would be Roulette that didn't seem to do much, but I know it's pretty hard to show off out-of-combat abilities like his random perks in an action trailer. If he was shown killing a metalmill or something similar by ripping right through it, he would give off a better first impression I think.
Good to hear you like the freeze frame bits. Yeah, the Roulette is tricky since most of what makes it special is in the perks. The clips I used are showing off the piercing alpha ray, and the random nature of the Alpha Slugger, if you notice, the final shot is more powerful than the other ones, since the Alpha Slugger power is randomized per shot.
-Speaking of Roulette, I'm surprised you decided to use his nickname in the trailer instead of just the name.
I wasn't really aware that Alpha was even a nickname, heh. I usually just call the mech Alpha, or Roulette Alpha. I can use whatever you want, though... just Roulette?
-That trick shot to kick off the "New weapons and items" segment was just perfect.
Nice!
-Good variety shown for the challenges, minibosses and bosses.
Cool, good to know.
Ending it with a bang? I like it.
Yeah, simple but effective!
With a couple of tweaks and the final additions/replacements you mentioned, the expansion is gonna have a darn good trailer.
Thanks! It's turned out pretty well so far, I think. Thanks for the feedback!
