Dunno...It's Windows Media.
Good Luck
Hey Everybody -
I'm new here and this is my first post.
Here is a link to my trailer:
www.thecoatroom.com/thecoatroom.wmv
It's a movie about a coat room in an art museum during a fictitious Marcel Duchamp exhibition. This movie is the definition of low budget.
Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers,
Dunno...It's Windows Media.
Good Luck

But I'd probably end up watching it just for the lesbian kissing scene - yes I'm shallow, and yes thats the only reason I watched 'Cruel Intentions'.
Good luck!
I like it - it looks very good and it made me laugh too. It looks like a well written, well acted and interesting and original piece. Well done. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Don't put yourself down by saying it's 'the epitome of low budget' - it doesn't look it at all. You should sell it's qualities - don't point out what you consider to be its weaknesses.
My criticism is that at 2.5 mins - it's very long for a trailer. I think you could easily begin the trailer at what is currently the 20 second point ("I hate.....") for starters.
Is the full film a short or a feature?
Can you tell us more about the production and making of etc?

Thanks for watching the trailer. Awesome feedback.The consensus seems to be that the trailer is too long. I don't know If I agree but I can see why most would think so.
The Movie is a feature (99 minutes) shot on the DVX 100A for about $8000. There really wasn't a crew (myself, camera op & boom)a mistake I never want to make again [img]frown.gif[/img]
The Soundtrack is cool and there is definitely enough gratuitous nudity to attract some viewers...hopefully it can make it into a festival and find an audience.
Thanks for help guys!
I enjoyed the trailer. I felt that the performances and direction were very strong, but that it was let down by low production values. The audio was quite bad. You could probably improve it considerably if you fine tweaked it in a pro tools system (noise gates and so forth could reduce the extraneous reverb, which is particularly bad during the "I hate..." monologue. Was the audio recorded in camera or on a DAT deck? Also, the music was bad. The indie guitar strum track struck me as very clich?d. The harmonica solo at the start was cacophonous.
As for the length of the trailer, I thought it was just about right. It intrigued me, it gave me some expectations, but it did not tell me anything about the conflict that is, presumably, central to this film. Conflict is, as they say, the essence of drama.
If this film got a cinematic release, I would go and see it. Character driven stories with interesting dialogue appeal to me. However, it won?t get even a limited theatrical release until you tidy up the audio. If there is one thing that an audience absolutely, positively will not tolerate it is poor audio. There is no excuse for it in this day and age.
That looks great.
Jim Carrey, Sharon Stone .... lookalikes???
Or was it my imagination....?
It looks good, well shot... but I agree about the music... it doesn't fit.. both in the mix and it distracts from whats going on.
Also does anyone else feel the music should come to an abrupt halt when the girl goes 'I know exactly what you mean' I think that would be cool [img]smile.gif[/img]
Then cut to the Titles.. then finish with the Guy lying on his back talking about the chains...
Just my opinion anyways
Over and out

The audio was mixed professionally months after the trailer was cut. However, the music track was recorded low-fi and there is not much that can be done about it
As far as cinematic release, well, the audio is least of my concerns. It was shot 4:3 so a blowup or uprez seems out of the question (unless a dist. want to pay for it). There is also much nudity and adult language which further limits the prospects.
In any event this is a great forum. Lots of great feedback. thanks everybody!
Cheers,
