Unofficial V21 Trailer (in the making, added poll)
Mysteroo:
It was pretty dark at the end, and you did go a little overboard with the effects. But not like some people are saying, I like the effects and how they are in beat with the song, just a little bit less would be a good idea
I like it, it looks great so far

The effect would be nice if it wasn't so distracting.
Turn it way down and have it be a subtle shift, not a massive distracting one.
Conan:
i feel you should scrap the effect altogether. fuzz and screen shift is usually associated with horror games, like slender. i would stick with simple cuts, fades, and camera angles/swoops to provide the appropriate effect.
I highly advise going through eksi's video at least 5 times and identifying what made his so awesome. that's how i came up with the list earlier, explaining what you coul dhave improved on.
A few weeks ago i was planning out a video even though I didn't have access to anything that would let me film it. I got a song which I think it would do very well for an ad:
Birthright - Instrumental (Celldweller). There's melody changes at appropriate intervals, each lasting about 10-20 seconds, allowing you to sectionalize the ad like Eksi did (starting with introduction to building and the basic things you can do in the game, followed by showing off builds, then minigames). Its also marginally upbeat (not too heavy rock) and has some nice leadups which would dramatize parts of the ad.
I advise editing the music though, to get the sections you want. The part right after the intro is pretty heavy, but the part right after that is basically perfect for cutting scenes of buildings/minigame action together. (1:06-1:40)
edit: if you can get a copy of Lights (Klayplex) without lyrics it would work well too.
Altiris:
The song is actually good, I just dont like the popping sound effects the slender effect on the video really.
