I do agree that the hardest thing will be the magic, which is why right now I'm trying very hard to make it look good. I figure a few closeups of a coin would be cool so at the moment I'm modeling what I think a clip looks like. I don't remember reading about any specific way a clip looks like in the book so for now I just used the symbol for copper on one side and a random symbol on the other side. I was thinking about putting a picture of the Kredik Shaw but to do that I have to make a Kredik Shaw. Maybe I will later lol. At the same time I'm trying to create Kelsiers push/pull storm, which btw is a great idea! Probably gonna use that scene or a similar scene for the climax of the trailer. I'm trying to do it all in After Effects but I think If I can be be clever enough about it I should be able to pull the illusion of an awesome storm. As for the tone of the trailer I think it would be good to do both. Maybe start with a serious tone and shift towards a more comedic tone as Kelsier and the gang are introduced. Best of both worlds, right? Bugsy, you have great ideas! Love your narration idea. Very compelling! I'll definitely incorporate it into the script. I did indeed listen to the song. The lyrics are definitely fitting!

Oooooh! Putting in Hoid is an excellent idea! I like how it serves two functions! So is the scene where Kelsier creates his push/pull storm when he fights the inquisitor. I'm trying to think of ways I can do this without too much 3D modeling lol. But I think if I'm smart about it I can pull off the illusion. EDIT: Kenod, thanks for the cookie

I would say my editing skills are proficient. I have a lot of experience with After Effects, Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I'm trying to learn some 3D for this project( but that's going slowly , blasted Element 3D won't work with my Intel graphics card ) so for now it's Cinema 4D. I whole heartily welcome the idea of you composing some music for this project! And I also agree that the trailer should focus more on plot. At the moment I am torn between creating a more comedic trailer, emphasizing on the heist aspect of the book, or a more serious trailer, focusing on Inquisitors, the Lord Ruler and general injustice of the world of Scandrial.

Haha cool! I'll definitely do more here than troll for ideas lol! And thanks for the song suggestion Bugsy! I will absolutely check it out!

Hey there members! I am in the process of creating a fan trailer for a Mistborn movie. I'm am here to accept any and all advice, tips, tricks, suggestions, ideas etc. Main question: How would you personally like to see a Mistborn trailer made? So far I've created some cool visuals for the trailer i.e ash mounts, title card, red sun, struggling plants etc. What else would you guys like to see? What kind of music? What kind of tone? Is narration a good idea? Keep in mind that I do not have access to professional actors so character appearance is limited. I'm really looking forward to see what you guys have to say! Cheers, Rookie405

Hey, so I just joined this site because I was hoping to get some ideas for a fan Mistborn trailer I'm working on. While I was thinking of some cool visuals I could put in the trailer the thought occurred to me that I could ask the community for some tasty ideas. As soon as I figure out where to correctly post my query, I will. Hope you are all having a wonderful day, I can't wait to talk to this community!
