Does anyone provide a service where, I give them a beta distribution of an app, and they take video of them playing it, and then edit them into a trailer suitable for youtube etc? It seems like this can be done by everyone, but some people have a lot more experience taking and uploading youtube videos of their app reviews, I wonder if some of them offer services like making & editing trailers. Would be useful for indies like me.
We do offer such a trailer service specifically for indies at an affordable price point. You can take a look at our services page to see our previous trailers: http://www.agnistudios.com/services/ If you're interested in our style, let me know and we can discuss more details. You can contact me by email: suresh[@]agnistudios[dot]com
Interesting, thanks for the reply. I just want to clarify that what I'm looking for is just a video of someone using the app, and then creating a montage of the video, largely unaltered, into a 1-2 minute video. Something like the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BnY6wImunAI#t=21s And then maybe some text at the beginning of the app title, and some texts at the end, something very simple. However, not all indies (e.g us) have access to a good camera / capture setup or attractive looking fingers. Would be a lot more efficient having someone else do it.
BTW, I just want to clarify … in the trailer you've linked to, the hand is pretty much in shadow. Is that how you want it too? Or, do you need one in which the person's hands are clearly visible like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJArnFzR33A ?
