Ok, now we're talking. Sorry if I approached all this wrong, but thanks for staying with me. I didn't notice that there was a filmmaker's part of the site, but I don't think I'd want to post there yet, anyway. Like I said, I don't want a lot of people seeing it yet, just the people like you guys who can give me advice on how to make it better.

So - the reason I didn't use a VO or title cards in the trailer is because I figured that's exactly what a fake horror doc like Cloverfield would do, and I was purposely trying to be different from them. But obviously the way I was doing it wasn't working, either. Now I think you're probably right, Neverending. We do need to spell it out.

I'm going to make some changes to it today and I'll relaunch it as soon as it's done. If anyone has any ideas of anything else I can do to make people understand that it's real I'm all ears. Ideally I'd love to do something truly original, as I think even with the title cards people are going to be highly doubtful, but I've been so deep in this for so long I can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

Thanks again for the help!
