Better trailer (or, Revver wins over YouTube)

Okay, forget YouTube. I've replaced the Apprentice embedded trailer (on the Apprentice page) from YouTube with an embedded trailer from Revver. Bigger video size (480x360 on Revver vs 320x240 on YouTube) and much, much better compression quality, and a great fullscreen mode. Oh, and the ability to select the still image that shows before you click play, which YouTube doesn't offer. Compare for yourself:

   

Notice the fuzziness and general lack of detail in the YouTube version in comparison, as well as the bad compression squares on any scene change. I'll do the same with the other trailers as I have time.

Current developments

For the past few months I've been working full time on various commercial projects for hire -- commercials (view here, the two 2D animations, not the 3D one), web stuff, and more recently a web series called Cheap Secrets. I've been learning new software, and making new breakthroughs and developments in my methods. Upcoming work includes more Cheap Secrets, another Drowtales anniversary animation, and a contest entry, not to mention the ever-present Pink Lemonade.

I've also put up the older Item and Apprentice trailers onto Youtube, just to add a viewing option to the venerable old AVI and MPEG trailers that have been on this site. I'll probably add Google Video later, since it has better video quality.
