I know for a fact that such offers to do the job (Trailer-production), for FREE, were submitted to 1C and UBI many times going back to the 2003 timeframe.
UBI, especially, is infected by what is know as NIH syndrome..."Not-Invented-Here" so we'll do it in-house, even though ineffectively and by amateurs and inefficiently and at a cost.
Over those years they have produced lame, second rate Trailers and other ineffective marketing videos.
There are absolute Masters of movie-making in the IL-2 community...offering free services...but ignored.
Quite a shame.
Don't even get into the offers made to do Box Art, submitted by at least one World-Renowned Aviation artist!!
The best 'news'/'rumor' I heard about 18 months ago was that UBI would NOT be the distributor for SOW:BOB! I cheered!
Now they are back...do some googling/Binging research and see who works in the UBI Marketing department for IL-2. Extrapolate to how they are implementing marketing for COD... I mean, c'mon...how out of touch can they be with the entire PC gaming/simming community not to know that COD has been 'taken' for years by...Doh!!...Call of Duty (aka COD)! Vive la France!
Wish you luck Mystic on getting the job. For Oleg's sake.
