Over this past weekend, the new trailer for Browncoats: Redemption, the movie I helped out with a bit over the summer, made its debut at the Farpoint convetion up the road a bit in Baltimore.

This one is all stuff from the movie--I know because I remember a lot of these shots being filmed. Check out the trailer (if you look quick, you can even see me in there, briefly):

Also check out my "behind the scenes" pics from the weekends I spent with these awesome people.

The more of the finished bits I see of this film, the more I know my initial call of "Fantastic!" was fully justified.

This video pretty much nails what's become the standard formula for the modern video news story. Note the cadance in the dialog as well... and the difficulty in making out everything the "man on the street" interviewees are saying.

Two things it's missing: Subtitles for what people are saying, even if we can understand them perfectly and the banter back at the newsdesk after the story that compeltely undercuts any seriousness that may have been present in the story itself.

How does your local newscast stack up? Do they use this formula, too?
