I don't remember that trailer.. It isn't published is it?

It was never released as a separate video but you can see it in the January 2019 broadcast around the 33 or 34 min mark.

Thanks. I saw it and it's the same thing

Ooh exciting trailer though, can’t wait for the full video. Wonder when it’ll be released.

Ok, you're talking about the definition of trailer

But since this is 1m the longer video could be just 5m or 12m like the longest BJF video... I was wishing there would be more information, because an hour video would be awesome 

I hope its like an hour.

Hollywood chose that term trailer. It dates back to the distribution of movies on reels of film. It is supposed to be a preview, or a foretaste, of a full-length film that is coming soon. ("Coming to a theater near you.") So it would be rather funny to call something that previews a film a trailer! However, it's called a trailer because it followed, or "trailed", a feature film in a theater to advertise a coming attraction.

and also many people would leave after the main movie and not stay a watch the Trailers, so they started playing them before movies

Most films the brothers produce are short films, under one hour, and, yes, they can have trailers too. Even if it is just a 10 minute film, it is painstakingly difficult to animate it.

Yes, many people don't realize but it much more difficult to do an animated video than a real life video

 

 

Have you noticed how caleb has "grown" since the first video, specially on the hair?

It will probably be released in the Oct AGM

Each tiny item has to be designed and moulded in 3D. But it’s worth it, because it reaches the hearts of our young ones, and also our older ones. I spoke to an adult brother with learning disability. He finds reading and understanding our literature difficult, but the animated videos are perfect for him. If you don’t watch the Caleb and Sofia videos, start right now. They can only make your life a little brighter. And listen to our kids singing, I mean, it is such a wonderful gift from Jehovah to all of us.

I have. It's very easily noticable especially if you watch back and force.

 

And not just visual details, stuff like the animation (people and objects moving) and physics simulation has advanced quite a lot.

 

I mean it's still not Pixar level, but I will take it.

I tell you that what got me to do that image comparison was this latest trailer where we can notice a huge improvement on hair, expressions, even caleb's lips, strands of hair on his eyebrows and freckles, something that didn't exist before >>> I tell you, we're reducing the distance (not that it would matter) noticeably!

It’s a matter of design. I’m sure you have found yourself watching one of our other videos, such as the Nehemiah film, not really understanding that you are really watching an animation, even if it just part of a scene.

That's very much true. Who knows how much more better these videos will look like in the days and years to come?

 

We remember the video a few years ago that was shown in the Regional Convention about the King Hezekiah and an animated scene of an angel killing the soldiers in the end. No one thought it would be possible, but the end result was spectacular and easily stacks up with other secular movies.

 

I don't know how long the end result of this video is going to be, but the longer it is surely the more impressive it will be for certain.

Do we remember the animated videos of Noah and David?  They were 480p maximum and stiff drawn figures.  How wonderful they were.

While I agree that would be super awesome 😎, I’m not getting my hopes up because they had a trailer before for Make Jehovah Happy , it just was shown at the annual meeting instead for all to see. So it may just be a longer production like Jehovah Will Help you Be Bold or Make Jehovah Happy. But here’s hoping it is a movie  , I’m sure if this system lasts we will get a full blown animated movie, if not now, later.

That's what makes me think it will be seen by "THE PUBLIC" during the AM and be posted to JW.ORG the following week.

Yeah I agree.

 

What a treat for my little ones! (And some older ones no doubt).

Are the bottom two photos really Caleb though?  The boy in those photos looks like he has freckles where as I don't think Caleb has ever sported freckles before.  But yes I do think they've done an amazing job at their advancement in graphics.

Yes it is. I extracted it from the new trailer which is discussed in this thread
