Not bad! :D

It's hard to make an exciting trailer for something like this, but I think this'll appeal to folks who are into this type of thing.

Thanks henke! :D

I've gotten some good feedback. A lot of people are saying I should add subtitles. One person astutely mentioned that the font is, well, he called it "unprofessional" which I don't agree with but it is boring and not especially suited to the topic. So with a great deal of searching I found a couple fonts that are vaguely reminiscent of the Book of Kells while still being mostly legible.

The previous font was Arial or something as bog-standard, right? Aye, this one's a better font to use, catches the eye more readily. Subtitles are a good option too, as I wasn't able to pay attention to the details onscreen as well as the voice-over at some points during the video.

Yeah, it was Verdana, which is basically Arial with serifs on the capital I. One study found it to be the most comprehensible font.

Here's the new version, with subtitles, new fonts, and more sound effects:

Thinking about putting this up on Greenlight on St. Patrick's Day. :D

I gotta give you Pyrian: with the narration, the colors, the text and music, it has a very well nicely unified and distinct art direction :) Hope the reception is good when you go full public!
