Just a little trailer like video i made for Creeper world, thats whatcha get for being utterly bored...
Any suggestions/criticism?
Time to critisize ;D: Why did the whole intro text made up 7/8 of the whole video? Or you make the video a bit longer or you leave that out, you could also show drones, reactors, speed and storage. Maybe a bit more danger: a spore that slips through the SAM defences, or creeper that destroys a weapon.
And what about using some custom maps, a map of Sauffaus or Madmag would be really beautiful.

The whole movie was actually based on the music itself, so i guess thats why. Introducing the story while showing gameplay isent easy when you only have 1.5 minutes :P i decided to not use custom maps due to they're not in the retail game, and more danger, yeah, but it was just some clips i had around.
I'll see weather or not i'll decide to make something different another time ;)
Very nice, just a small observation. I found the single words colorized unnecessary (such as "existence").
You did not capitalize "The Creeper" or "the Creeper" in the opening text.
Maybe show a shot of OC leaving after a victory? While it is not IMHO necessary to show all units, I think I agree with Sqaz that maybe the danger is not emphasized because you don't show the creeper actually destroying something.
I liked it a lot. Adding the part showing the city when it said "It fell from the sky without purpose or reason", I think was a very good idea. I agree with Karsten75 about the colored words. They stick out, but I do not think in a good way. Unlike Karsten75 and like Sqaz, or mostly, I think you should show at least most of the units. The speed and storage tech should not be to hard. Only the drone will take a little more time. As for the video, when you start showing the game, I think it should start simple, like you did. Even show Odin City going through the rift. Then, the the videi shows the Creeper getting more difficult. A blaster blowing up, or part of your network collapsing, and losing it. I like the idea of a spore getting through. Up to the point where OC is surrounded by Creeper, blasters on all sides but it is not enough, and the city blows up. Then it shows "can you save humanity?". I think that would make it awsome. It is only great right now. ;)
I abseloutly love your advice fisherck..., maybe i'll make a video, then i can always just find some fitting music ;)
It was a good video but I agree with Fisherck it could be alot better after reading his advice.
I like Fish's idea of making it progressively harder, and adding drones isn't that hard, just start the filming when they leave their base or something.
I still think you should take one of those custom maps with a beautiful background.
Use my new one :) Badlands
It was a good video, But it could have been longer. I honestly don't mind the words, just the length of the vid.
Probaly should have noted that this video was made to fit the music, and not the other way around

Take longer music then, or make as most people first the movie and then the music

I am very glad I could help! :)
I think the length was just in the right ballpark for a trailer.
Indeed in the right length for a trailer, but probaly more of a story related trailer, then a gameplay
Teaser video , if you make an new one with more action =)
Nicely done Echo =)
Thanks spiffy :D
Nice video!
I like what I see and hear, but I also agree with most of the remarks above. To explain the story it's fine, to explain the gameplay I would choose more visuals than text, because it explains more in the same amount of time and makes the watcher wanting to try this him-/herself.
Final remark: display the address of the site! We want them to get here without searching for it!
Oh, atleast i bothered to rip out the logo with the awesome knuckle cracking sound xD and yeah
