Trailer  And thank you for choosing Masques as your test subject! I can't tell you how touched I was.  You need to do more of these!!! LabRat (still wiping tears of laughter...)

Oh no, I can get the audio but no visual ... it opened in Windows Media Player on my Mac, but it just gave me a blank screen, darn it! Any way to get it (or future ones) as a Real Player file, like the music videos?

How wonderful!! LabRat - you're official - I expect to see this trailer on the big screen when I go to see Fellowship of the Rings in a couple of weeks! Yeah! Loved it.  Lynn

Holy cow... Well, I had an idea for doing this a little while ago, but it got put on hold, since I didn't have a program. Yesterday, however, I wanted to make a video - since it was Betas' Day - but I soon found it that it wasn't as easy as it looked... So I needed some "practice", and then I thought I could maybe go with this idea.. Glad you liked it!  Pel

This was my first try making *anything* like this, so I have *no* idea on how to really use an editing program... I just downloaded Windows Movie Maker 2 from the net, and clicked 'send to web', and this is the format it got.. If anyone knows how to convert a wmv-file to a ram, please let me know too!

I must be doing something wrong: I click on the link, the Windows Media Player opens, but I get an error asking me to connect to the Internet. Do I have to download the file first, and then play it from my computer?

Do I have to download the file first, and then play it from my computer? Yes. Right-click on the link, click "save target" and choose where you want to save it. Then open it. Glad you liked it, Jana! Again, this ws just something I did for fun...wanted to do something with a little irony in it.  Pelican

Finally had it downloaded and watched it. Really cool!   Just a suggestion: like in the movie trailers, you could put a "Showing Now on ...", or something like that, for the next trailers (hint, hint  ). It was great! Just LOVED it! malu

Oh, wow, that's pretty cool! Very typical of hollywood trailers, and something I would really expect to see on the big screen. Great job!

Wonderful! Very gripping... just one little question. What's the title and the composer of the piece of music you used in the trailer? I love movie themes very much and yours sound very cool.  metwin1

That sounded like stuff from the movie 'Speed'. Is it? Loved it!  Was the last part of the Trailer supposed to be "written by LabRat"?
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

You've probably seen the film: Speed (Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock). And the composer is Mark Mancina. Was the last part of the Trailer supposed to be "written by LabRat"? Yes, it is. Weird if it's unclear to you or something, because it shows perfectly fine with me and the others.. Pelican

Oh, wow... This is fantastic. Absolutely wonderful. Totally worthy of the magnificent piece of fanfic that it is previewing.  I do hope you plan on doing more... Kathy

Have to jump in say, well done! This is a very nice trailer with very sharp video and nice production values. I've seen worse in Hollywood-produced trailers.
I'm pretty excited to hear you may be doing some trailers for other fics, too! Looking forward to those.
