New and Improved Watermelon trailer!!! I've got it up on YouTube because streaming it from our site seems to be causing problems for people. I think it's very good. it tells a lot more of the story.

This looks really good (both the trailer and what you're selling with the trailer). Well done. Photography looks really nice.

Can I ask what procedure you used for the Youtube upload? (I'm also trying to get 24P HD uploads and they turn out like crap).

We down converted the footage from our main time line into DV Pro anamorphic 16:9 interlaced at 29.97. Then using that single file, we edited the trailer together. We then rendered that as a single DV PRO file, which we then compressed to Sorenson Three, medium resolution setting. And that's what we uploaded online.

We're not experts on preparing footage for internet streaming, by any means. Brad is not sure he even did it right but the results seems reasonable so he's fine with it. But there are people who know infinitely more about this stuff than we do, and we'd certainly like to meet a few of them. :)

Quite a cast of characters you got there. As you said, you may well have indie gold! I didn't notice any problems with the youtube version. Good luck!
