Hello wonderful people! I'm back with another one of my indie trailers! This is a body swap comedy sprinkled in with a bit of racial controversy. I have a full pilot shot for this already and I'm looking for feedback to see if I have something here. Thanks in advance!

It looks like it's pretty good. As far as the trailer itself, you should get to the turn/hook/plot much, much earlier - I think it was 1:31 into it before that was presented and it would seem to the main plot device and what would pull people in.

Love the pacing! It's a little thing, but if a professional notices it, it may pull them out of it - around the 1min mark, the blond guy and the dark-haired guy are talking. In the establishing shot, the blond guy sits into the right side of the frame, dark-haired guy on the left, but when we break into singles, both of the MCUs are on the right side of frame. If you flip the shot of the dark-haired guy, it will look right/feel right. It actually happens again at 1:23 with the two ladies. Definitely make sure you don't make a habit of crossing the 180 line (here's a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bba7raSvvRo Although this one is more in-depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW0bKUfvH2c). I adore the concept, though! What a timely version of a "Freaky Friday", too!

Interesting idea! The dialogue goes really quite at 1:20-1:30 so definitely bring that up. And some of the interior dialogue sounds a bit "roomy", so you'd do well to get a sound engineer to do some room removal and to EQ the voices. Good luck getting the pilot out there.

That'll work. Great Job!
