6 movies 2 trilogies 1 saga - The Star Wars Saga Trailer
Hello there!
Since November I'm working on a Star Wars Saga Fan Trailer. I'm almost finished and I have made a trailer to my saga trailer. I know, it sounds paradox.
The most scenes which you see in the trailer, are finished scenes with the attached music. I hope you enjoy my trailer to my trailer.
Thanks for downloading and viewing. You're opinions and your criticism is welcome. If you like this trailer, I will publish the real saga trailer in this topic as well.
Alrighty then. That was pretty cool. Your scenes are kind ass backwards for the trailer tho maybe? Looks like the trailer is going to be good though. Do you have anymore details? Like how long is it? When do you expect to be done with it?
You've done some good work on that...can't see it being that much longer though.
Only change I would make would be the music...too many changes in there for such a short trailer (I know they go with your visual themes, but for example you could stick to just one OT theme for the back-to-back ANH and ESB part).
...especialy the early change from the SW theme to the next one (think it was DOTF) is noticably sudden.
Stick to it!

Negatives: Sound transitions are awkward, heavy on the ROTS footage.
Best Part: I really liked Vader's redemption theme with the emperor frying mace. That was great shot and fit superbly well with the music. Very original use of it too. I watched that scene at least 10 times on your trailer.

Firstly, many many thanks for these nice answers. Now I try to give some answers...
The trailer will be about 8 minutes long, I think. That much time is necessary to tell the whole Story about the Skywalkers. The trailer will be finished about the end of the month. If there are problems, it is I possible, that I will release it in May.
No problem, I'm planning to release a soundtrack of 6m 2 t 1s.
I can tell you that there are much changes of the music. I have 18 (!) soundtracks in it, that sounds very much, but I think it is necessary to tell the actual story (e.g. the comeback of the Sith or Anakin's fall, Palpatine's seduction).
Don't be afraid, that won't be in the saga trailer. I will use a change from the SW Theme to Anakin's theme. Then comes DOTF.
I try to work on it. Personally I'm not satisfied with the sound on some places in the saga trailer, too. When I'm finished with cutting and editing, I will check the sound in the whole trailer. Because it's very important that sound, music and colume fit together.
I hope, in the saga trailer you will watch this scene 20 times. It will be better, this is just the beginning. Wait and see!

Good News: The trailer is almost finished. Now I have uploaded the soundtrack of my trailer. There you can hear which songs will be used in the saga trailer.

Attention please! The big moment has come. World premiere of 6 movies 2 trilogies 1 saga - The Star Wars saga trailer. I've been working five months of it, I made a post-production, now it's finished, as I knew the first saga trailer which will be published by a fan. I might be wrong but I haven't heard from another yet.
I hope you like the trailer. I wanted to tell the story abourt Anakin and Luke Skywalker, so I didn't concentrate on other characters. Because of the much film material (12 hours Star Wars movies!) the trailer has a length of 8 minutes and 42 seconds and a size of 93,2 MB. The download will be worth it.
Here is the link to the download, I hope it works:
Ditto, rapid share is a huge pain in the ass. First you have to push the free button then you have to enter some code assuming you get back to the link at the right time after the timer runs out. Thats why I prefer yousendit.

Well it worked fine for me so I don't know what their problems were.
Anyway, the trailer!
Negatives:
A little choppy on some of the cuts (from scene to scene) and some of the music/dialouge didn't overlap well.
Positives:
EVERTHING ELSE!
Lotus, that was awesome!
You blended that very well, touching on most of the important themes in the films, both visually and muscially, and leaving out all the bullshit, like Jar-Jar, Ewoks, the Senate, etc....
I especially liked the inclusion of the Deleted Scene from EpII, I always liked that one, as it shows that Obi knew a little more about Anakin's feelings of Padme than he showed in the movie.
Good pacing too.
I almost teared up when Luke is getting zapped and it cuts to Vaders mask, and you showed all of the sadness of his family and friends, that was genius! (should have cut back to the mask again though, and then had him throw the Emporer down the chute.)
Still, that was great.
Thanks Lotus, I'm going to watch it again right now.
