um, have you ever tried to sell anything, to anybody? People want to buy things that THEY like, not that YOU like. I don't care that you like the teaser, that's great for you. I don't care that you like a demo, or turner, or peanut butter and jelly. If I don't like it, I don't buy it.the customer is usually a complainer.
you cant please everyone so why bother trying. when you're making a video, you have to make something that you're happy with and then let the haters hate. so clay doesnt want to hire voice over talent? big deal. everyone's going to find something they dont like.
I thought the quality of the clips was awesome. I'm sure it'll be a stellar movie.
HOWEVER, a voice over is done to convey emotion and perhaps tell a story. I know it's a small part. I hope it's a very small part. It remains that it's in there, and that whomever is speaking (and I'm not refering to Sam or whoever the australian is) SHOULD NOT be doing a voice over...for any film...unless it's a director explanation. It just doesn't work. When I started watching it, I was immediately reminded of the third installation from the kids at diablo, the one where they wear scarves and dance around. You can't mix emo and death metal, it just doesn't work. In my opinion, he should stick to the emotional crap, or the incredible riding, one or the other.
