The Package III - Deadfire Trailer #3
The third and probably final trailer before release. Going for a more solemn style this time.
Music was composed by me 
A stormtrooper, really? If you're aiming for "solemn" and serious, then you can't have goblins and stormtroopers running around like that.
That's an inside joke.
Relax, it could be Halloween.
@ Mickey, have you seen the other "Package" films?
They manage a serious tone even with characters like that walking around.
Anyway, some of the animation was quite obviously worse than the rest.
The sliding 'n' shooting at 1:01 was good, but the walk cycles at 0:11 and 1:06 weren't.
The camera movements went by the same random formula, some were great, but others quite frankly were pretty bad.
Beyond that, the music was fine for the first half of the trailer, but got a little annoying by the end.
While your sets and animation aren't as good as others, your stories are always good.
So trust me, after seeing what you did in the first two, I'm looking forward to this one.
That's a fair comment; walk/run cycles have never been my strong suit. Also, I appreciate that my animation is lacking in some shots, but doing a 50+ minute movie makes it pretty difficult to maintain a high level of quality, particularly with working on a tight deadline. As for the camera movements, you can't really call them "random" without knowing the context, but I do acknowledge some of them are a lot more jerky than others, and that's mainly down to me doing them "freehand" so to speak.
I do appreciate your honest feedback, and hope you enjoy this as much as the first two

Looks great, love the music. Noticed as some others have that a few of the animation clips look a bit choppy, but I really cannot complain about it. Taking on 50 minute movie is a huge feat, one that few of us will even attempt. Keep up the fantastic work.
I kinda missed some epic one-liners 
other than that it was great. I'm definitely gonna see this one as soon as it's available.

Sorry to disappoint, there were a few I was gonna use, but I didn't think it needed any
