    Looking at all the entries, I have to say: we have some insanely talented folks among us! The videos they created in a very short time with limited resources. WOW! And of course, I am extremely proud of my guild I lucked into. I can't claim one ounce of credit but I stand very strongly proud with my guildmates. Looking forward to spending the next few years getting to know these folks better and enjoying my tiny piece of paradise they share with me.

    Good job to all those who entered and good luck!

    The trailer contest has allowed many of us to be creative and take the leap forward to do something artistic and entertaining for others to watch. Yes it’s amazing that there are thousands of dollars’ worth of store credit and merchandise that will be awarded and of course anyone would love to win for all the efforts made the past few weeks, yet I feel rewarded already by you lovely avatars.

    I’m new to recording and editing. I’ve barely done anything in this field of work. I feared to accept a challenge that puts me up against experienced and professional video makers. Video after video posted made me feel less and less capable of developing something good and acceptable.

    But why am I scared? Sure they have great videos and sure I might not win… But I could? So it’s worth a try right? Of course it is.
    Yet the biggest thing that continues to make me happy is how friendly, supportive and willing the community is to help me produce and publish my video.

    I couldn’t play Shroud for months. A few in my guild assisted me in improving and upgrading my PC so I could be here now with you all.
    I didn’t know what recording and editing software to use for the trailer and avatars such as Womby, Amber, Ember and a few others helped guide me in the right direction.

    Most of the scenes needed avatars, costumes and pets to be filmed. I asked around and guilds from AR to 4B and Bear and of course the Caverns came to my aid and allowed me to use their resources without question.
    And the few in the TS I hang out in, dealt with all my chaotic outbursts and complaining and continued to help support me.
    Thank you.

    Just seeing what the community can do when they have a contest once in a while is astonishing. I hope you all continue to create awesome videos, stories, songs and so on even without contests.
    You are all winners in my opinion. If it is just for the rewards or to help showcase the game or both, it will prove to be important for all new players to come.

    The best of health to you all.

    Title: An Outlander's Journey
    Description: A SotA trailer made from the love and support of the community.
    Why I created this video: To get a good steady supply of alcohol.

    Okay, I would like to say something smart, but after three sleepless nights in a row working on this I cannot see the difference between smart and dumb. I was surprised that even with my limited time with holidays and such it proved a challenge to squeeze the video into 3 minutes. I have material for 5 separate trailers and ideas for few more:D Huge thanks to my guildies helping me out, especially @Jynx and @x_Selene_x, they worked hard day and night to help me meet the deadline!

    Title: Experience Shroud of the Avatar
    Description: A showcase of the main gameplay aspects.
    Why I created it: To win the harcover book, of course:) And to have some good time with guildies, it is nice to take break from the grind and do something fun.

    I almost did not upload the trailer, after looking at so many masterpieces presented on this thread.

    But, while the video is still unfinished, I took a different approach: I try to sell the game and not the trailer itself.

    I wanted something shocking, that might interest teens. Frankly, no idea if the goal was achieved, but my daughter like it.

    Enjoy, if you can!

    Truly adorable. I think if we could tighten up the lady's voice so it doesn't have the echo in it, I would vote for it as my personal favourite of all of them simply because it's original, and so light-hearted!

    I don't envy Port's job tomorrow. Lots of unique presentations! It's interesting to see how many different takes there are on this game. A real testament to the game itself, and the community's imagination!

    Couldn't agree more. The entries are all outstanding, and represent many hours of work and dedication - and each in its own way highlights this wonderful game. Hearty congrats and good luck to all - I also am very glad that I'm not a judge - it won't be easy!
