Rough Draft/Prototype; establishing if the music I heard in my head (rather than the original trailer punk/ska rock) would work in such an active set of sequences, without appearing to diminish any of the impact, before I went through the process of adding in a bunch of new sound effects.
Since it was for personal use and I already had it in my head that a certain type of dramatic track was needed, had it easy by going with licensed music; "A song for Bob" from "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" soundtrack. ...Almost bought a few stock, "epic" tracks instead though, but got the deeper, dramatic feel I wanted from Bob's Song.

A little time acquiring, overlapping, warping and changing free stock sound effects. A couple hours to get them all dropped in to a somewhat finished state of the vid. Also cut a few beats out of the music here and there to have a transition or rise occur at a certain time in conjunction with the visual events.
Some touch-ups and adjustments, and an HD export.
After having been able to watch the SD and HD versions back to back - I actually prefer the SD version. ...the small lack of clarity and touch of grain actually gives the whole thing more of a Fantasy and/or dream-like feel and look to me which fits.
Perhaps if the content were Sci-fi, I would prefer the clean, crisp HD look, but as it is? SD for the win here.
