Seem to me that nanogirl did a fine fitting work!

Fitting, if eternity is so dark. Could there be a few more versions made by Gina Miller, which would express more fun and joy of life? Why live, if there isn't what to live for?

jans,
I just had a conversation about dark and bright yesterday.
As for now and matching the present physical laws- we all are being under a terrifying darkness.
The bright are able to see it, the simpletons see nothing, not even the darkness...
We all are being under the control of darkness, bright see nothing because they know it is dark, simpletons see nothing because they doesn't even know that trues, they see what they only want to see.
They bright is seeking after the 'sun-of-suns', everlasting light, simpletons are burning in it- walking with their eyes closed, know nothing, nothing too big to lose, excepting death due so...
Gina Miller did a great art work!

Yours truthfully

Thank you Jans and Infernity for the valued feedback.

If there is considerable concern for the 'dark' cover, we may find alternatives. However, the cover is in keeping with ImmInst's media theme for the book:

First Film Trailer Posted:

I have to agree....the graphic for the film is dark, morbid, and downright scary. I mean, artiscally it is a nice piece of work (a very tech and transhumanist feel) but I cannot support it for the film "cover". In my opinion, we definitely need something else, something that is not going to scare the pants off the average viewer. If the viewing audience was only transhumanists or singularitarians, then maybe, but not for wide distribution.

Sorry

See if she can come up with something more uplifting, lighter, and positive.

The trailer looks great! Bruce (I don't know who else did the editing, but it refers to them as well), I think that you did a wonderful job. The first part is just perfect. A couple of comments about the second part (after the picture of Franklin):

1. The Graphics that Gina did is very nice, and I do like it as an art.

Nevertheless, I think that Mind right, it doesn't fit for the film. The cover should 'catch the eye',
make you want to see the film, as is the corresponding animation in the film itself. The current
graphics (the head that appear after Franklin) is too dark and the animation is too
unclear.

The picture of the head is unstable and noise (bright spots for example) appears (this
make it look amateurish).

I also don't see the point of the activity that is going on inside the head. If the idea
is to show cog wheels turning as a metaphor for thinking, this is the thing that should be shown.
Currently it is one wheel turning, one appear and disappear and something explodes (what is
the symbolism of that?).

2. The fowl and especially the wheel (in the sunrise) appear interrupted because of the quick
movements (Maybe it is worth raising the frame rate).

Note that the trailer can't be downloaded, but only watched online.

Thanks Mind, Alex.

Appreciate very much the constructive feedback... I'll bring a few other alternatives to the table soon.

I like it. The black does not bother me.

I think it looks cool :D

Thoughs on this version in comparison appreciated: (royalty free - gettyimages.com)

ahhhh, Now that is much better :D

Nice and bright... Its much better than just a black and greys

Yes, this picture is more appealing than the former. The white clothing of the lady, to me in this case, symbolizes life (All light energy reflecting back towards the viewer), rather than black usually associated with death. Certainly a nice picture.

ah, good to have the feedback, whoa182 & 123456. thanks!

Also nice, but I actually liked the first one more...

Yours truthfully

agree, the picture screams workout video or something like that. [tung]

To Infernity;

I understand it is personal preference for liking the first Picture. For such a film it seems logical and pleasing that living matter is shown, the lady, pleasant in the way that, as some individuals before me said, a brighter picture. I will also add that the open space of the picture suggests freedom, talking about freedom from aging.

I think this one is excellent.. very peaceful and holistic..
