So I got an email regarding the movie Appleseed Ex Machina, and it seems they are having a little contest:
I was wondering if you would be interested in covering the new Appleseed movie and its contest? There is a trailer remix contest where you can cut scenes from Appleseed: Ex Machina into clips and apply different songs from the soundtrack to create a trailer. Visitors to the site vote on the best trailer, and the winner of the contest will get flown to San Francisco for WonderCon in February. It’s a neat little contest, and I thought you might want to share it with your readers.
I went to the trailer page, and the one they had made already was quite exciting. Even more importantly, the controls for the trailer creation tool are very slick, as you have a lot of control over where you want each piece to start and end. You also can set up a soundtrack for your video trailer, to set the right heart-thumping mood.
The only bad thing about the contest is that they don’t have vocalized speech that you can cut in. You can’t add your own “announcer voice” stuff in either. Too bad, because the possibilities of a truly hilarious trailer are endless. Still, the tools definitely give you the chance to create something really cool. Caveats are that you do have to give some info about yourself, and you have to live in the USA.

lol you did it!
I thought about it, and it seemed legit. Plus the trailer program was reasonably entertaining =D.
lol wow I totally have never heard of this before. Maybe I should enter even though I could just drive to the con instead. ;P
I just hope there’s a Japanese language track cuz that dub sounds like shite.
What? Do you mean Kabi-kun actually made a trailer? I WANNA SEE IT! :3 Mind telling us which one it is (if you made on that is)
And yea, thats pretty disappointing that you can’t add your own voice. I do a pretty good Dragon Ball Z English announcer voice!… or at least I used to…*sad* hmmm, Wondercon, never heard of it.
