i know this isnt a music video, but it is a great book, great cast and shynola is doing the visual effects, and they make great music videos so...

         

I've been watching this trailer all day. Looks pretty great.

         

I can't get it to work, very depressed. I have a flash player or whatever downloaded, I don't know what they want from me.

         

i personally couldn't get it to work till i briefly disabled norton internet security...

i hope flash is paying big sponsorship money, because i can't see any other reason to post anything in that joke of a video format. what's the point of an exclusive premiere if it's almost unwatchable?

(edit: yay! it's now in the more watchable win media format!)

anyway, the trailer is great fun, there's not a film that I'm more excited about this year. and don't forget that shynola doing effects isn't nearly the most relevant link to music videos, it's directed by hammer and tongs!

         

I was a little afraid of the result (sfx) but it looks quite convincing. The logo of the book and the cover are ugly tough. I'm not sure, was the entire film made in england (post, sets etc.)?

         

Yes, all done here in lovely cold and rainy england. The creature effects done at Jim Hensons in Camden. It's brit through and through, Steven Fry is the voice of the guide and Alan Rickman the voice of Marvin. Shynolas last video for beck reminded me in style of the old info graphics from the 70s tv series of hitch hikers so gueses are they're remaining faithful in some ways. Can't wait to see their Babel fish.......

         

Found a Quicktime trailer www.waxy.org It's 7.8MB. Thanks, Greg.

         

Oh yeah the graphics in the bbc version are worth the download.

         

Thanks for the quicktime, tiny girl, or greg, or whoever.

         

Nice! Thanks for the awesome trailer, guys. What would the world do without you? Not as much music video and trailer and short-form film watching and critiquing, thats what.

         

shut up striped collar and read the above! we are exploring other works of auteur video directors shynola and hammer and tongs! so it is completely relevant and applicable!!

         

Um, I think stripedcollar was complimenting shynola and hammer and tongs. Maybe you should shut up killakillaforina.
