    As I look through all of these wonderful player made videos, I can't help but to begin thinking that the better elements of each effort could become combined. As we move forward into this project, I strongly believe that an effort in fellowship between each of the dominating favored of them could possibly become an even finer product.

    To our participating players here, I would in my deepest hopes wish for you all to take note of who all of your fellow video contestants are, for even more greater productions yet to come in our future.
    For all those video presenters yet to come in our contest, don't be shy and never think that new ideas cannot be forged from any effort within any creation.

    Awesome that you show the planets moving and the night sky! I really hope that the astronomy is not just superficial and that the position of the planets and other astronomical phenomena have an effect on the game. After all, the game has alchemy so it should have astrology as well. It would make the game a lot more interesting!

    It will make our game allot more interesting, "yet it will make our advertising get so much more attention if it's done in a robust fashion".
    We know much about the "astronomy" of our game, yet our "astrology" is more yet to come.
    Our planets in our game are up there for not just one cabalist reason...
    When this happens, all the gaming eyes of the world turn our way!
    Astrology, a very misunderstood subject indeed!

    A very good trailer but one question: Why didn't you mention the story? It is one of the most important elements of the game.

    Hmm. I feel like @x_Selene_x did mention the story way more than any of the other trailers including mine! :eek:

    I had hoped it was implied with the mention of the novels and the virtues, but to be honest, I ran out of time! I could have easily gone on for another minute (or more!) about how awesome the game is! If they ever run another one of these, I'll focus more on that. Thanks for the feedback!

    Amazing submissions! It never ceases to amaze me the caliber of talent and creativity in our community. Each video evoked wonderful memories and new interest in areas I hadn't explored yet.
    I'm glad I am not one of the judges, a daunting task to say the least.

    Good luck everyone!

    Ok! Here's my entry, I hope you guys like it!

    Title:
    Shroud of the Avatar - Broken Moon Trailer
    Description: A cinematic journey through multiple aspects of SotA.
    Why I created it: If there is any chance that I might be able to entice new players to join our world, and therefore help Shroud become more successful, I have to take it!

    The music in my trailer is a mix/mashup of several Shroud of the Avatar tracks:

    Kobold Invention - Jarrod Kaleif
    Valor and Cowardice - Peter Boiko
    Travesty of Justice - Douglas Yassen
    Caverns of Doom - Peter Boiko
    Deep Dungeon - Sharm


    In addition to two public domain fonts, I utilized @Dame Lori's Runic Font.

    Special thanks to her and all the musicians for their excellent content, as well as
    @Astrobia for being my star and guinea pig, and that random guy that was crafting in his cool black armor (I forgot to write down his name)!!

    A full credits list can be found here:
    Credits

    Enjoy!

    On behalf of the Moongate Travelers, I present our submission for the Dawn of New Britannia Community Trailer competition!
    So why? Because we wanted to do something awesome as a guild, to highlight and represent this game that we love, and the place we are coming to call home.
    A collaborative effort, as follows:
    Concept and script by Audacity
    Most video captured by Fringe, with help from Audacity. Obsidian and Asclepius
    Cameo appearance by Thadeus Crook as crafter and pipe smoker
    Editing and voiceover by Asclepius

    Any feedback is welcome - hope you enjoy


    [EDIT - this is Take 2! Just went back over the soundtrack and smoothed out a few audio transitions
    Music - apart from the amazing "Rift's End" theme by Dinsoo, is royalty-free music from Smartsound]

    Best save my spot. Not giving the whole thing away "yet" but let's just say... Sometimes we need to take a darker more... chaotic approach to coming home.

    Title: Welcome to New Britannia

    Description: There is no way to even scratch the surface of the content of this game in 3 minutes, so I limited myself to 90 seconds (without the end credit roll) to keep it exciting. I tried to tease some of the better points of the game to generate interest and make people want to learn more for themselves. The music is the Space Bards 'Dark Planet', remixed (read: hacked down to 90 seconds, sorry Space Bards!) by me. This trailer is certified organic, kosher, gluten-free; and contains no nuts, allergens, or dragons.

    Why you created it: I thought this would be a fun way to learn to edit video. I do not recall ever misusing the word 'fun' so grievously. Nevertheless, here is my entry for the contest, I hope you enjoy it and find it worthy to sit amongst all of the excellent work submitted so far! (They are a hard act to follow! :D)
