AWESOME voice over. Who ever did this has some skills.

The spin shot on the egg is soooo goood. Fantastic use of sound effects to make it extra crazy. Bingo bingo.

After the first section I feel it loses a little steam. The shots should be cut quicker, you don\'t need as many angles especially for a trailer.

I\'m not a fan at all of sped up footage. You never see that in real trailers ... or real movies. Maybe in cheesy tv shows. It\'s best to do a \'300\' type effect where you only slow up a specific part. Also, use a tripod or set the camera on the ground if you\'re planning on making it go all fast. Sloppy fast mo can ruin a film.

Haha, the last shot is so good. You guys rock, just tighten up the editing a bit and get rid of the spazzy fast mo and you\'re golden. Who did that voice over ?!?! I commend thee.

That would be me. I was approached by Jeremy pretty early on about the voice acting actually, I even make a cameo (I\'m the one in the Yellow jacket who says \"No, we fight\")

The IndyMogul one got my vote, but I just wanted you guys to know that this was one of the best. Good idea

Nice voice work. Music control. Sound effects are great. Stop motion is cool. Could have used some nicer backgrounds, especially with the one you used twice, once with the attack and once with “get outta here.” Since its a trailer you can change those things and no one will care, plus it will definitely add. You could have probably even changed it AGAIN for the dude with the bat. That way it doesn\'t feel like the whole movie took place in your front yard.

I appreciate that this is an actual trailer, unlike some of the other ones that are simply a short film with “coming soon” thrown on the end. However, this does feel a bit like a “plug and play” formula. Remove egg, insert broccoli. Remove broccoli insert can\'o\'beans. No change in the storyline in order to do that. You gave the eggs nothing that made them eggs. Yolk, shells, cooking, cracking. That makes it a bit generic in the end.

The shot i could have loved so much is the final one: “now you did” its SOOO perfect! Alas, you cut it off! NOOO! Careful of that kind of thing.

Finally. Zombies rule. Good call on that. Especially with the kid who looks and sounds exactly like pedro delivering. Sweet.

Very clever! I liked it! It moved well, and told what the movie would have been about.

I don\'t like the voiceover, it is too secondhand. It sounds like they\'re trying to imitate a friend that imitated a guy that imitated Pablo Fransisco who imitated Don Lafontaine. The voiceover is lame to me in short. But excellent concept, might have gotten my vote if it weren\'t for the terrible voiceover.
