"Like all of your trailers, it's interesting only from a technical point of view. Unfortunately, they all also have no soul, whichs makes them all incredibly boring once you get past the flashiness."
...It's a COMMERCIAL. o.O It's trying to sell you something. Why would be anything but flashy? O.o

so your not dead.... :P


anyway... nice trailer. I agree the casting is screwed up, but the editing was good. Its hard to wow me though since I already know your capable if this calabur of work, and you've pretty much done what you always do.

That means I liked it. I probably won't be rushing to replay it again anytime soon, but I don't do that for real trailers either. no matter how good they are. I just go see the movie ;p

I still don't feel that I've outdone the Noir / Tomb Raider trailler. I'm afraid that trailer will be something I never top. >_<

Good, I liked the casting actually for the most part, it threw me off at first, but after seeing shinji it all makes sense. I personally like this one more for content, though, the cast used in the tomb raider is certainly appreciated for other reasons.

So someone's been trolling comments on all my trailers. Dispite my connection to the org being absolute crap because one of the hops between me and the org is crapped out most of the time I'd like to respond to them here.
Ugh, the lip synch, casting, flow of the video and scene selections fail. The footage jumps all over the place, so the flow breaks up easily. Try to keep the video together by not jumping the cast and characters all over the place. Hard to explain, but it is like constantly showing a character at place A, then quickly in place B. It breaks the flow.
First of all, you can see the REAL Resident Evil: Apocalypse trailer here to compare.

Second, I'll admit that some of the casting in the video wasn't perfect but it's for fun, gimmie a break. Plus I had filled up most of the cast in other, more important roles. If you're unhappy about Shinji being Jill, deal with it, he's a cry baby sissy and his eva carried a hand gun.

Thirdly, I'm going to explain to you what a 'trailer' is. A trailer is a short video, no longer than 150 seconds normally that is designed to convince an idiot to shell out $7.50 plus the price of snacks to see the entire movie in theaters. This largely involves showing a collection of very short clips from the movie in varying order to give the viewer the just of the movie and the urge to surrender his $7.50. You seem to have confused a 'trailer' with 'sneak preview'. A sneak preview being a showing of a section of the film in order to make someone want to surrender their $7.50. They are also often longer than 150 seconds.

So in a trailer you show scenes from all over the movie, infact, and maybe you didn't notice, but this trailer actually used scenes from the FIRST movie which are not even in the movie the trailer is for. Does this damage your seemingly skewed sensabilities?

Trailers also often include short montages of random scenes of shit exploding and being killed to rock music. These are often not in order and I'm sorry if this offends you.

Sometimes when we're making anime trailers, the anime isn't exactly like the movie... What with the anime NOT being the movie (It wouldn't be cool if it was, would it?) So we take several similar scenes from different places in the anime and edit them together to look like they're together. I suppose this would be confusing if you've watched Evangelion 30 times and eat the Evangelion breakfast cereal. I apologise that Evangelion is not an anime about an evil corporation, zombies and a city being destroyed and it's not being that confusing you.

Fourthly, while this trailer didn't have many clips at all where you actually SEE the characters talking and thusly requiring lipsync (The real trailer has the same talking clips as my version. I tend to copy them scene for scene after all) But my lipsync does not suck and it is at least of dub quality (And considdering that it essentially IS a dub, that would make sense, wouldn't it?) and probably a bit better. So you can go fuck yourself. :)

I wish someone would do that to my videos too. It is always funny to read opinions from individuals, who don't share your same tastes and preferences.

I think you're confusing trolling with criticism.
