Hi. So this has been in the works for quite a long time but this is my take on a trailer for our Discovery mod. Hope you guys like it and any feedback would be amazing! This is the finished product however I had a few issues with colour correcting that I couldn't fix during the rendering. Not sure why. I believe my recording went slightly wrong as well but I couldn't rerecord what I had already done. I hope YouTube doesn't make it look any worse as well...
Big thank you to @Implosion and @Miaou for helping me record this and for @Thunderer for not fighting us and letting us record (You might be able to see his ship in the background if you look carefully xd)
Edit: Youtube made it look much worse then it should be reeeeeeeeeeeee. Need to find some better settings.
Believe you credited @Thunderer improperly there >_>
Will give this a watch and post my thoughts shortly.
Edit: Didn't realize it was only a minute long. I don't know, the editing/music/dialogue was cool, but I really don't like the idea of advertising Discovery with graphics mods that don't ship with it. I really do appreciate the time and effort that was clearly put into this though, and I'm glad to see more people trying to help us do signal boosting.

You do realize its like really simple to add the graphics mod link in the youtube video and put a disclaimer.
anyways....
Nice video, music and diologue really ramp it up and made me expect a lot more from this video rather then a min and some change. Put more content in it and im sure it will be amazing!

The fast blacking out of the screen hurts my head as bad as flashing white would. But I do already have a headache atm.
Hmm... To be scary it needs some kind of... Scale...
That ishtar/old marduk seemed small and not so threatening whilst the scare theme without any clouds or anything to suggest it's actually got a reason to not be seen...
I don't know just the fact it was there with nothing hiding it and was small made it lose impact.
You could super scale the marduk model and effects on a singleplayer client possibly and try and record it in some kind of light cloud maybe.
Also maybe hide the hud and put the cockpit in after overlaying some makeshift cloud since the cockpit is rather fixed is it not?
I really enjoyed the video. Was expecting more to follow through after the nomad attacks the vessel. Maybe add some clips of a fight battleships and snubs, some stuff blowing up, maybe have a part where like on the wiki page it shows the 5 main houses lined up with flags and all, at the top it says "who will you support" or something like that.
