one day to go for a NEW TRAILER

[hautbasclair]

Its amazing how many people get all hot and sweaty about a trailer as if its one big huge thing you waited months to see. A film trailer is an extremely compact version of the movie, that has the gist of the movie, some actions scenes and does not contain any real story scenes or information.

Just a reiteration, the trailer is ONLY a trailer - its meant to make you want to see the movie (you know, the film your actually wanting to see).

I cant help but laugh when people stay up all night, or take the day off work etc just to be able to see a trailer as soon as it comes online. Another thing that amuses me is those that refuse to watch a TRAILER unless its in so high quality that you need to burn in and watch it on a massive high def tv just to see it in its actual size.

''Oh i wont watch a trailer on a pc screen, ill wait to see the TRAILER in a cinema.''

HAHA!

Your whole post is all wrong.

You are talking about dedicated fans here. Whatever you see in here right now is perfectly normal.

I sure am glad you are here to tell us these things, Captain Obvious. I would never have known what a movie trailer is without you!

Have you never been excited about something? Something you've been waiting for months to come about? Well, think about that something, and read your post again. Someone, somewhere is saying the same kind of shit about you.

Well, shiet, I'm excited and I don't even class myself as a Transformers Die Hard. But I'm a Bay Die Hard, and a new Bay Film does make me excited. And I'm excited to see this new trailer.

HAHA!

I don't think anyone is taking a day off work but sure people will stay up a few hours extra to watch it.

And we are all excited because it will probably be the best action movie this year, Fast & Furious, X-Men were mediocre films. Star Trek will probably be a huge disappointment as well considering it is helmed by J.J. Abrams (yawn) and I am sceptic whether Terminator Salvation will be as good as Terminator & Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

And of course everyone wants to watch the trailer in its highest quality on a HDTV, who would want to see a rubbish flash version with pixelation?

I know but the TV Spot, Teaser? and ShoWest footage all were uploaded by the webmaster of this website with huge bitrates compared to Apple and Yahoo, sorry if my previous post was misleading as to what I meant.

Actually the Showest stuff Bay shared with us was much lower quality than the officially released trailers despite it's higher bitrate. Partially because it was a mix of lower-resolution renders upconverted to 1080p, but also I believe it had been recompressed a time or two. Compare a frame from the Showest footage to (almost) the same frame from February's trailer, and you'll see that the Showest stuff is much more pixelated, in addition to being muddy.

I'm sure Nelson would have a better idea of why the Showest stuff wasn't pristine, despite it's high bitrate.

[littleman794]

if by pst he means pacific time, it comes out in 5 hours

[kidcrashhh]

I'm guessing because they were still werking on action sequences when they cut the clip... Prolly just because while directing the characters you can render the frames quicker using a lower quality so as to be able to change and tweak animations faster and see how they will look... After they get them how they want them then you finalize the animation using the final high quality render... maybe.....

[littleman794]

man, this is so awesome!!!!!

im gonna put it on my teacher's projector!!!

[johat]

before anyone asks again, according to Nelson's time, 6 hours from RIGHT NOW.

Hahaha, which means two hours past midnight for johat.

Edit: Actually no, it means 1½ hours past midnight to be correct. It's still a pain! I'll have to go back playing wow for a couple of hours.

[TIMtationX]

if by pst he means pacific time, it comes out in 5 hours

...You guys are killin' me.....No really, i'm literally dyin' over here.

By bitrate, he meant downloading speed not resolution!

I doubt the servers will crash, Yahoo always has slow download speeds compared to Apple.com, not sure if it is intentional or not.

Yes, they can crash, because it has nothing to do with the download speed... if a huge number of people are connected to the same site downloading the trailer at the same time... IT WILL CRASH!

But hopefully it won't happen to us!!!

[Mindfreak87]

Nope bitrate is the bits per second, the higher the bitrate a video file has the higher quality the video will be, but as he mentioned the ShoWest footage is slightly pixelated.

But hopefully it won't happen to us!!!

I never said they wouldn't but Yahoo and Apple have reliable servers, they rarely crash. Transformers 2 is going to be awesome but I wouldn't go as far as to say it will crash Yahoo's server because of the release of the trailer, it is about on par with the other big named movie title trailer releases and they didn't cause any crash.
