Attached Link: Teaser from Pandemonium hosted on the Internet Archive

You might remember that I've been working on a feature film for about a year now. I posted some questions about modeling and texturing as I was working on a model of a San Francisco MUNI train. (Above you see a shot of the interior with one of our actors composited.)
Well, we're done with photography, and we're nearly done with post production (though we still have a mountain of sound work ahead of us). We cut together a teaser trailer to generate a little buzz about the movie. You can check it out at the link, here.
I should warn everyone that Pandemonium is a GAY Science Fiction Action Adventure. It's not much different from any other Science Fiction Action Adventure film with the exception that virtually all of the characters are gay. This particular teaser was designed to appeal to the "Queer as Folk" crowd, so it does feature shots of guys dancing together, nearly kissing, and waking up in bed together. If that offends you, DON'T GO TO THE LINK. If you're OK with that, by all means, please check it out.
It's about 30 seconds long and features 26 shots 15 of which use Carrara. The shots are quick, so you might want to download the Quicktime file and play it frame by frame with your arrow keys if you want to look in detail.
The Carrara shots include the train (there are two exteriors and one exterior shot in this teaser), all of the dance club interiors, the alley scenes and more. There's a mystical box that is featured in the movie, and sometimes it's a practical prop, sometimes it's a Carrara stand-in. Both versions of the box happen to be seen in this teaser.
I'd love to hear from folks about what you think about the teaser -- critiques about the Carrara work, as well as any comments about the teaser in general.
Thanks in advance!
