"We all go bad."

We are currently filming our next short, Lucifer Was An Angel, a noir following petty thief Donovan Luce as he falls deep into what should have been a simple blackmail job- but is now a large conspiracy intertwining him with the luscious daughter of a powerful crime boss.

Check out the teaser and stay tuned.

That slider shot in the beginning looked great! The cinematography overall looked great! Music was good too.

Although I was bothered by the fact nothing happened in the trailer. A guy puts on music, grabs a drink, and pulls out a bit of money. You need to have more shots/excitement. Not saying you have to give away the whole story, but you want to give the viewers an idea of what they're going to see.

Here's a trailer of one of the first/best crime noir films. The trailer has many quirks and flaws and doesn't really appeal to modern audiences, but it does one thing right - it interested the audience. Back in the 40's, when the film has released, it sparked the audience's curiosity. You have to get the viewer's interest somehow, if it's with text, music, fast editing, a VO, etc.

Good luck! I hope to see it soon

I like the look of the trailer, the cinematography is very good. I think you have cast a good actor so I'm looking forward to this. As said above you need to pull the audience in with the trailer, perhaps put your actor in peril. Again it looks great, what equipment did you use?

Here's another great trailer, this time more modern. You know there's a barber, and murder/crime involved, but that's about it. Sure, the film has great actors and directors written all over it, but all names aside, it grabs the audience's attention with a variety of shots, interesting music, and good voice overs.
