Description:
A trailer for "The Children of Llyr".
After years of bloodshed, the nations of Ireland and Britannia have at last forged an alleigance under their figureheads, King Bran of Britannia and King Matholwch of Ireland. The friendship is sealed with the marriage between Matholwch and the Princess Branwen, Bran's beloved sister.
But alliances were made to be broken.
The twisted acts of one bitter individual engulfs the two kingdoms in fire and shadow as war comes to Ireland.
«I wouldn't be so dogmatic when it comes to anachronistic music (there are no rules, if it works, it works) but I have to agree that that particular tune didn't quite fit here. Something more up-tempo would have got the blood racing in time with the fantastically-cut and exciting action scenes. This is looking like a special historical epic, good luck!»
«Yeah, it took me a second after I'd posted to realise that the music didn't fit it somewhow. I just thought that as it was in a Celtic language (and was a fairly cool song in its own right) it would work with the trailer. In the actual movie, I think I'll use more period Celtic/Medieval music instead of more modern stuff.»
«Hmm, I'm interested in this Celtic project, but I felt the music didn't work at all.
I'm guessing it was in Welsh (as I didn't understand a bloody word!), but it didn't fit somehow.
Nice tag line, and I'm looking forward to this as a fan of Celtic mythology.»
«Interesting combo of music with visuals. I find that when you use a pop song to match along with several different moods presented on screen, it doesn't always match up.I'll have to agree with Mac on that one.
The story seems well plotted and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this ambitious project.»
«I think that was a decent trailer
The editing was pretty good and I enjoyed how the music fitted. Some great use of mods in there, created a nice sort of medieval feel to this. I liked how you used the medieval weapon mods as well, very creative. The scenes in the mist looked good to me, very exciting. From the looks of this trailer I can tell this will be an action packed film. I particularly liked the line "Alliances were made to be broken", really got across the whole basis of the film very well.
Like Dulci said, I would add some sound effects, VOs and maybe even a narration to this trailer just to help the viewer get a little more engaged. As it is, it doesn't seem to reveal much and it's slightly hard to get into for a short trailer. Also, although I enjoyed the music, I don't think it really suited this type of film at all. In my own opinion I would have preferred to hear some more traditional soundtrack music to give it that epic feel. However, it's your movie and in the end it's your decision which music you want to use
Overall, this was a decent little trailer and I will definitely be looking out for the film. It was a little hard to get into though and I don't think the mood was quite right. I enjoyed it nonetheless. Well done and keep on filming

«Pretty good trailer. Some more corresponding soundeffects would have enhanced the mood.»
