    You need a non-cursing/urinating version of the trailer. You also need a better trailer – it looks like it was edited by the same people that cut the film, which tends to result in favorite shots/scenes being used even when they don’t add anything to the presentation. The mix of the trailer sounds weak. It needs whooshes, bangs, hits, etc. Spend a little time making the trailer better and you’ll get better results in all your marketing endeavors. It’s all over the place. If you’re having issues where there are no summary lines to weave the storyline into the trailer in a more clear fashion, have the talent record a line or two in ADR and fake it. The text should never be fullscreen like that, fyi. It’s terribly difficult to read.

    On the bright side, it seems like the production quality of the elements you have to work with are great.

    Spend a little money on good library music, too. I personally love the Killer Tracks / Atmospheres music libraries, it’s just good.

    I was able to get a prescription ireferral for something even better because I live in California. Unfortunately I’ve eaten quite a few iTacos and iNachos because of it.

    Tuaw has a post on how to make your own boot disc of Lion from the App store. You can put it on Flash usb drives or DVD. Doubtful it’s locked into a single account. Most of the apps in the app store don’t have any drm on them.

    Odds are they’re going to sell the install Disk too – downloads are being touted because they’re going to be the way ‘most’ people get the update. 4 gigs on our crappy AT&T dsl would probably take two days – across half a dozen machines and we’d be destroyed.

    Don’t forget – none of those 500,000 will read the manual or any documentation, so each one will simultaneously post “I don’t see OMF exports” or “It’s just like iMovie” or “why won’t it work with my G3 Cube” – in multiple forums ‘just in case’. We’re not talking 500,000, we’re talking upwards of 5 million posts – all at once.

    I’d keep a bottle of spray seltzer near the server, just in case.

    Ironically, we decided to move our office today. One of the reasons being – after we moved in we found out AT&T dsl is the only provider of service to our office. Of course, we live in Los Angeles county – it’s such an unpopulated area that we really shouldn’t expect more than .4 uploads and 2.3 download speed. Ah, country living!

    In retrospect, because I want the FCPX out so bad, I’m sure it’ll be released June 31st at 11:59pm.
