What is it exactly? Simply a trailer for Halo CE?

It's basically just a mash-up of Halo and CMT V1 footage.

It was OK.

That music's seriously over used. I liked the part at the end with the screenshots, but I think you could have chosen some better ones.

3.5/5

I didn't think the music was appropriate for the gameplay footage.

Think of this trailer as advertisement for Halo CE. That's what I made it for.

Then you needed to show more custom content. :/

Wasn't to bad, but I didn't like the cycle of screenshots in the last minute. Could have been something else that I can't quite think of right now :U

Well, I always compare videos like this to my Ad/Tribute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouLgygrFb8c) that I made awhile ago... Personally I think it out shines all if not most of the videos released since I made it, I'm biased though ;).

I don like the camera movements at all :/Also, why do I remember hearing a different version of that song...what is it on?

The music dude, lose it. It's WAY overdone. Need something a bit more original. I agree with Heathen: a lot of the camera movements were shaky or jagged. And though I know how hard it is to move the camera around in CE smoothly, it could be better. Try going slower. Then speed up the film in post production. That's what I do sometimes. Smooth shot and quick = win/win. The screen shots at the end are just annoying. Almost epileptic. Find some other way to do the part at the end.

As for length....4 minutes seems a bit long. Typical trailers are about 2.5 minutes max. But then again, those are theatrical trailers. So whatever you want, I guess. But you don't want the viewer to get bored. It's a good try, but it seems like it was rushed a bit? Maybe make a script first, instead of this impromptu technique.

6.5/10 - It does show effort, just hastily done.

Music is overused like other have said. Also, the camera movement was used too often (panning in/out with a spin around something)

Overused music, camera was choppy.
And not enough Wartorn Cove.

Yes camera movment sucks I know. Music overused? I didn't know that. I have never seen any trailers with this kind of music. Please post some. Thanks

I still don't get the point of showing danger canyon with a bunch of bots in it... is that supposed to be cool?

Your right there is no point. Just suppose to be custom. This was kind of made for people who haven't heard of halo custom edition.

Its not that the music is overused necessarily. He's using it for the wrong purpose. Requiem for a Dream should only be used for machinima involving a major battle, intense struggle, the sense of failure, and an overwhelming sense of might. Use a different song, this one just isn't appropriate, find a more suiting song.

I have seen it quite a lot in Halo films though. Now if he were to use "Blow me Away", that could definitely be classified as overused.

Lux Aeterna in The Two Towers trailer:

The fact that it was used in The Two Towers (well... It was in the trailer) makes it over used. However, they used a slightly modified version of the tune:

Has a list of some big films that used it.

I personally liked the one by bathroom security (not the SPv1 trailer, he made a startup vid for CE too) that seemed to work well, although the camera work was a little shaky.
