Excellent trailer!

The Gungrave footage fits very well.

Well, having finished a trailer to the same audio a little earlier, I had to see this

Liked:

The ending. You tied up a few loose ends but left enough suspense to befit a trailer.

The added glass shattering sound clip.

Didn't like:

The first time the girl talks. It's not convincing that's she's talking. It looks like she's just crying with her head in her hands.

The lip sync was just off overall.

Most of the video faded in and out predictably at the same pace.

So to Kaxi,megaman917, masterGT and Fizzikis:
Glad you guys enjoyed it. Kaxi didn´t said something about the trailer, but I hope that he like it

@Shazzy:
I found your trailer when I was at the middle of the project. Uhm... RahXephon also should fit as well. I also thought that Cowboy Bebop would fit (do you remeber? Spike has two eyes. With one he saw the past or something like that).
The sound was ripped of the DVDs. So it´s the original sound. As well as the scream at the end.
When Maria talks for the first time:
Uhm... There was only one second scence where she is really crying, but there was the wrong charakter with her. So I took this one and added Brandon with a Photoshop layer. I thought that this part of the trailer is pretty strong, so it would be a waste of drama if I would continue normal editing. You´ll know what I mean. In trailers people often speak in the background will you get images from other scences. I thought that my scence was good as it is, but my best friend Mac thought that the scene is riddicolous. GfN thouhgt that it was pretty good (I don´t know for sure, but it wasn´t something negativ

). I liked it as well and I leaved it this way.

The lip sync was just off overall.

Damn it =/
I thought that it worked, but I have to say that I wasn´t sure at all. The second one was pretty hard to sync. It was something new because I had 4 frames from the mouth to work with and usualy in anime they are 3.

Most of the video faded in and out predictably at the same pace.

GfN mentioned this as well. He told me to add some custom fades with lines, but afterwards I was happy with it and I wanted to keep it more simpel. Also it is harder to add something when the editing was nearly done (the beta was the full length of the trailer).

Thanks for the critc!

I liked the lipsyncs where I couldn't see the mouths better than when I could.
