roaming robots

Well I think promo videos should include decent audio, which includes those things. How you go about doing it is up to you. Unless your an experienced sound designer though I would just use the original sound track recorded by the camcorder.

Seriously dated, but generally speaking the BBC has very impressive production quality;

I am sure you can do much better than that with a little time and effort.

Haha brilliant - damage, aggression and Jeremy Clarkson :lol:

The voice-over chap sounds seriously bored out of his mind, but I shouldn't diss the advert. I was lucky enough to catch it the week before the first episode aired and tuned in out of mild curiosity. That mild curiosity instantly turned into utter love and excitement and was a pivotal point in making up my mind over what career path to pursue. Sounds a bit corny but it's true 8)

EDIT: Compare that advert to the one for Series 7 after the move to Five. Forgot how absolute rubbish that was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoDqF9eg ... re=related

I remember series promo's going through this phase of having the voice actor sound disinterested. The current phase is to make them all Welsh!

I remember seeing that advert too, and thinking That sounds like the coolest thing I have ever heard!!! must watch!

Oh and Jamie it sort of helped shape my career path, except I became an Audio Engineer.. Close enough!

Well before it, the two things I wanted to be most were a builder or train driver (that was after I realised being a Thunderbird or one of the Power Rangers wasn't really a feasible career path :proud: ) but I'm glad I took the engineering route.

Train driver! I remember that phase..... I swear all kids of the late 80's 90's led the exact same life...

Awesome advert;

Not sure if it'd be possible to mount a remote controlled camera or 2 inside the arena during a battle, would get rid of the glare from the polycarb which would be much better raw footage for an advert. A lot of the footage used there looks like its been taken by someone who just happens to be watching, not an official, but then, there is a reason for that :lol:

You'd only need to mount 4 static camera's inside the arena to get enough decent shots. The chances of them getting damaged seems low, plus if you put them inside Polycarb boxes then they would be safe and you could control the glare.
