Pretty poor that they have taken a lot of effort to put their own copyright to protect their work but haven’t had the respect to credit the amazing underscore music or the artist anywhere. The music is an amazing piece of work and probably took three times longer to record and produce than the route itself. Seriously accomplished and talented musicians like us make up less than 1% of the UK because it is SO highly skilled, not many people will ever come close to the standard professional musicians are. At least give them the credit whenever you use their music in videos to promote your work.
Who’s to say they didn’t work directly with the musician for the video? Considering they use similar pieces on all their trailers it wouldn’t surprise me if they do, and we don’t know what their contract with said musician would contain regarding publicity if that is the case. You’re jumping to conclusions here, just enjoy the video for what it is, I’m sure if the musician has an issue with DTG not giving credit they’d of brought it up long before now.
Definitely was a great way to highlight the route in a short period of time. Hopefully this happens with future releases. Some bits of the route looked really great as a result. Hope this continues!
I will disagree here. I'm not convinced by this format and I prefer the one they normally do, with small fragments and different camera shots mixed together. This has no more work to do than filming the route and passing it through in fast motion, which seems to me to be very unoriginal. It's like if instead of a cinematic trailer they show you the whole film at high speed. The only thing I liked was the music.
My feeling is that they use royalty free music taken from somewhere for their trailers. I mean they're all pretty basic. Once they even used the same trailer music that later Nissan used for their new Z car's promo video as well. So I doubt it's an original soundtrack.
This wasn’t a trailer, it was a timelapse of the route showing off one of the branchlines. The trailer released a couple of weeks ago.
Ah ok, I thought it was a new trailer format. Honestly, I had seen the traditional one but I didn't remember it anymore, age thing I guess
The Timelapse was wonderful to see, as it gives people a view into the route, if they're short on time. Plus it cemented to me how high-quality the route is.
They didn't show the route at night. I bet the lighting effects would be awesome on stations through the night? Oh Wait...............lol
A brilliant idea and well made video, I enjoyed it and yeah this pretty much demos the whole route, nice!
