Trailer 3 Redux

This is a remake of the third trailer I made for Youtube. Pretty much, I replaced the original music with the song Serenata by Immediate Music, who do music scores for movie trailers.

I wasn't able to totally get the original music out, though. You can still hear it in the dialouge. (The Captain Pike dialouge is the worst.) And I had to move Neros "Day of Reckoning" line forward a bit because the new music drowned out that line too much.

For some reason, I'm not getting much feedback on this video from the youtube users, so I'm hoping I'll get some here. So please, let me know what you think.

What is so wrong about this video that noone will comment?

Nothing wrong with it, but it looks like the exact same trailer with the original music replaced with another, inferior cue. I fail to see the point, honestly.

That was the point. I wanted to see if the trailer would still work the way it did if it had a different music score. That's why it's called Trailer 3 Redux. It was an experiment to see if the same emotions people felt could come from another music score. (Maybe I should've put that in the description )

So was this experiment a success or a failure? Based on no comments and no ratings on Youtube, I'm guessing a miserable failure.

I think it demonstrated that the music you picked just didn't mesh well with the visuals. I think it didn't have enough energy.

You did a good job removing the existing music, though.

I'll agree with that. I just don't get a sense that the music which replaced it has any connection with the images and the other audio, though. It's as if two unrelated, unsynchronized things happen to be playing at the same time; there are accents in the music which don't relate to anything happening on the screen and there are visual accents which have no corresponding musical accents. Ideally, the music and the visuals should work together and complement each other; here, they merely coexist, without appearing to be aware of each other.

When people talk it sounds all tingly and i'm not keen on your music choice.
