Comments: A nice short little trailer that continues my work with instrumental only projects. The concept is a little "off" since Jin Roh takes place at a much later date then the original trailer. But I thought there were enough parallels between the Last Samurai and Jin Roh to make it work. However, I was surprised at how violent and dark the trailer turned out. I guess I should have expected it would turn out that way since Jin Roh isn't exactly the happiest anime title out there.

This trailer also required me to do a little more fine-tuning then I expected. The spfx were not that bad though. Unfortunatily, I had to recreate the titles found in the original trailer. I found a AE filter (Shine) and a tutorial that gave me a spfx that was near enough to the spfx used in the original footage. I also had to hunt down a Kanji font. I tried to recreate the writing in the trailer but soon gave up and just threw some random Kanji symbols into the titles.

Overall it isn't a bad trailer ^_^
