That's really good advice and I think it applies to more than just trailers; I've seen comics and films that would probably have benefited from doing this (and made some myself). It's so important to check that your plan is getting executed properly. Communication is hard!

My husband still tells me this is one of the best drawings I've ever done :P

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed answer!

I feel like I understand these points pretty well except the 3rd one on N64 graphics. Could you re-explain?
"cutdown bilinear filtering, sub-pixel precision drawing, post processing anti aliasing in 1996, very limited two-stage shaders with quirks like color wrapping on too bright/too dark results"

What a delightful fella

How about an older, wiser Mouse, from Ladyhawke?

I'd recommend that first hour to literally anyone. The costumes are good; the cinematography is fantastic; it's filmed at these amazing, gorgeous locations in Italy with real castles. As a whole, though, I can really only recommend it to big fantasy fans, and even then only as "Worth seeing once."

The third act is a terrible mess; some plot threads conclude way too early, others are just never adequately resolved, and still others are just kind of disappointingly executed. The final, climactic fight scene sucks, . Everything takes about 5 times longer than it should.

Well, two days ago I watched the whole thing (yes, with @kobolds-keep.net among others) and it turns out, no, it was not the soundtrack. After the first hour, the pacing kinda goes out the window, especially for the action scenes.

"It's so cool!" I thought. "Why doesn't this have the same kind of cult following that The Princess Bride has? Sure, they front-loaded the awkward part of the soundtrack in the first 10 minutes, but was the first impression really so bad that it turned most people away?"

I meant "*one* could make", not necessarily you specifically, whoops

You could probably make a video about how both of these pushed the envelope of 3d animation--Ferngully had a ton of hybrid 3d/2d stuff (especially for a non-Disney movie in 1992) and I'd literally never seen anything like FafX's pre-rendered graphics when I saw them for the first time

I'm telling you, Microsoft needs to get Tim Schafer and DoubleFine on a Jet Force Gemini reboot/sequel like yesterday

Really charming low-poly models, too

I like to show what I'm working on to someone irl, like a kid showing their mom a drawing to put on the fridge
