Re: Mod Trailers, Why oh why....
The only decent PR trailer I've seen was the trailer for 0.5. The others I just stopped watching halfway through while facepalming myself repeatedly.
Rather than take Bloodhound's criticisms personally, *cough* Rhino *cough*, maybe listen to what he's saying and you might discover that there is actually a point to what he's saying? To be honest, I wasn't at all impressed with the last few PR trailers (or promo's, whatever). I have yet to see the ones for FH, but I don't think it would take much to improve on the past few PR trailers.
To step aside from comparing PR trailers, there's Bloodhound's general point. If you take the time to make a mod, make a decent video to promote it! I've countless times offered to make a trailer/promo for PR, and never been taken up on the offer. Sure, I'm not top-notch, but I would have put more than a half-a$$ed effort into the project like the last few appear to have had.
If you put the time and effort into making a wonderful mod (like PR) - give that same attention and keep the same high standards for the trailer.

Everybody takes every single word and phrase so damn literally now, and you all think that you're being singled out and attacked. Bloodhound's original point was legitimate, and it attacked nobody until people jumped in and acted offended. As for counter-arguments, I have to agree with Wizrd, the "because you can't do it, mine's good" argument is pointless. You have to make your trailers to a high enough standard to be appreciated, and you don't have to be a skilled movie maker to properly appreciate and/or criticize a video!
