It is here. After months of the viewers waiting and a long time spent in the editing room battling with an aging system, the all new series wide trailer has finally arrived. In it, Barton Police fans get to see the first ever glimpse of Episode 9 – The Takedown, available only on the upcoming Barton Police DVD. The trailer has it all: funny moments, gun battles, the Milkman, and more. The purpose of creating this main trailer was to provide a way to broadly cover the main story arch of the online series to give potential new fans the chance to experience a taste of the show without having to watch even one entire episode.
We believe we succeeded in that goal. The special effects titles (example: “The Police Department of Barton County…”) put such a strain on the computer’s RAM load that the frames of each title had to be exported by only 2 or 3 at a time in some instances from Adobe After Effects. The frames were then combined, the way old fashioned animation is often done, into one animation and placed into the trailer. The trailer went through three different cuts, the 3rd cut being the final one.
With the trailer out of the way, there is only one more thing to wait for: the release of the DVD. Oh, and the launch of the all new website design, both of which will be coming soon. Stay tuned and enjoy the trailer!
