  • The guy who portrays Sebastian is hottt!!!!!

  • i think this was pretty awesome for a fanmade trailer :D good job on the affects, too!

  • Seriously enought with the haters comments people! If you hate the video then just don't comment! Simple Solution ! I for one loved it!

  • I'm sorry I just don't think this ad does the series justice!

  • Kinda disappointed :/ looked very...low budget. The series is way more AWESOME than what's in the trailer.

  • Who else thought the end of this book was soooo fucked up

  • Gahhh ican't wait!! Great trailerrr!!!

  • wow, love it!

  • Wow, this is the best job I've seen on a book trailer I've seen in a while!

  • well, it wasn't the best, but i think you did a great work! and, after all, this is just a book trailer, so why be so upset?

    & the cast for clary was greeat! ;DD

  • Why is Jonathon hotter than Jace?? LOL

  • love the trailer

    just one thing: for most of the book Sebastian has black hair, I prefer that

    very very good scenes though

  • I really don't like this trailer...It's not the acting so much, it's mostly the editing. I don't like all the random effects. It makes it look sooo cheesy and fake. I mean, if you can't do good effects because of budget or whatever, than why do so many effects? A few good effects looks a lot better than many bad ones. I'm just saying this trailer could have been done better..

  • I ♥ Jace

  • @Goddess328rules She's definately a red head.....her hair is just a darker red.

  • You know, the acting really isn't too bad. In the beginning it's kind of off but besides that it's not too bad. Every actor has their flaws. They are human so don't expect them to be perfect.

  • please, please...just start the movie...please please...i want it so muuuuchhh....i just wanna watch the movies before dying in some kind of natural disaster....please please...alex or whoever just take the part and start it all...please....

  • AHHH WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RUNES?!

  • Wow.. O_O Normally I can't stand book trailers - they seem so wooden and more often than not the characters look *nothing* like how they're described - but this is.. just wow. I'm shocked, I actually liked it, loved it even :D Great job!

    All the effects looked amazing. I didn't picture the characters *exactly* like this (Magnus looked a little strange lol) but it's still the best book trailer cast I've ever seen :) The actress playing Clary was an especially great choice in my opinion.

  • magnus sucks

  • @AliceChan92 If you think Magnus sucks, then you suck. Magnus should have his own books because he is, infact, that awesome.

  • @AliceChan92 i mean that THE ACTOR who palys his role sucks, not Magnus....

  • Ha! so worth the twitter craziness. :)

  • I can not wait for CoFA! This trailer is awesome :)

  • Really love the trailer (: Thanks!

  • People talking bad about this trailer: THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. A lot of hard work went into making this trailer and the result is amazing. That is all.

  • @LilMinnie365 No, he has blonde hair. This is Jonathan Christopher Morgernstern, not Sebastian Verlac.

  • OMG ugh sebastian has black hair and i <3 looove magnus, omg cant wait

  • The shot of Alec and Magnus went by a tad too fast for my liking. :( good trailer though! I wish people weren't so rude...great job to everyone who had a part of this!

  • @Goddess328rules I do have red hair, but sometimes in post-processing things are made to look darker.

  • since when does Jace where t-shirts w/ angel wings on them?? haa nice costume design!

  • WOOHOOO! =D

  • I didn't get a chance to read anything in this series yet and now I'm just dying to!

  • I LOVED IT!!! I saw a lot of book trailers and I have to say that this is one of the best I've seen!! I can't wait to see the other 2 booktrailer of COFA!! :D Great Job!

  • Me segura!!!!!!!! melhor saga EVER!

  • I think the trailer is awesome!!! Haha when one of the demons came on I was genuinely startled. :)

  • Thank you very much for the trailer!

    Great job!

    We have trouble understanding a word in the sentence "and that ... band of warriors", could you help, please?

    Thanks!

  • @123Marochka321 I *think* it says "...an elite band of warriors..."

  • @ddpjclaf THANKS!!! =)

  • Btw, personally i think that Vania made a miracle with this trailer. Really. You're sure talented, and I think that you've done all your best to make something good. Beside this, I think it was better to put a MALE voice over, instead of Molly Quinn voice.

  • it's not hate, it's criticism. what's the problem to accept it?everybody can say their opinion, ok someone is too rude, but i don't think that saying "bad trailer" is being rude. or you can close the comments form, if you prefer.

  • All I have to say is, you haters are NUTS to NOT like this trailer. Yeah everyone has their opinions, but don't be rude Vania did an AMAZING job with this and deserves an award. I personally LOVE all the actors. Saundra, Max, Carson, Tegan, Josh, Brad, Victoria, Jung were awesome and are some of the nicest people you could ever talk to. And some of them know me on twitter as IsabelleRunes, and they know how I really feel about this trailer so I'm going to end my 2 cents here.

  • GIVE THESE PEOPLE AN OSCAR!!!

  • THIS IS PERFECT :D V~ your AMAZING <3333333

  • Regardless of the varying opinions on here lets all remember why we are commenting in the first place.

    We all love this book series!

    Now if we can just learn to be polite maybe these next few months will pass without us killing each other. haha were all just worked up and ready for the book!

  • Taking criticism is part of life. I don't see anything wrong with people giving a negative opinion if one doesn't like it. It's not a good trailer, plain and simple. If Clare did indeed cast it then obviously some don't agree with her choices. The books are amazing, there is NO denying that. Fans wouldn't be coming to view this trailer if they didn't love the books and Clare's writing. But this trailer is not good. I'm sorry if some of you, including Clare, can't except that.

  • @cac1228 None of us have a problem with fans expressing their opinion. What I myself, and other fans have a problem with is being rude. Cussing, especially with young people roaming around possibly reading these comments is disrespectful. THAT is all I am saying. Hate this trailer all you want, but don't be nasty about it. Please.

  • @VLCPhotoProductions i agree go vania! idk why would anyone would hate something as awesome as this!!! you did amazing and no one should tell you other wise this is one of your best trailers i think! and i cant wait for the others!! GREAT JOB VANIA!!!!

  • @VLCPhotoProductions I think that this video, no matter what others may say or think, is a job well done. It takes alot of time and effort to do what you have done and i think its really cool. Good work! :)

  • @cac1228 Everyone does have their own opinion, but this is NOT THE MOVIE TRAILER. Or the cast! This is a FAN-MADE TRAILER! Doesn't anyone see that??? If you don't like it fine, whatever, but this is not the cast or actual movie trailer. I suppose it was made for fun. an actual movie trailer would have better graphics and lighting and overall better..no offence to people who made it.. So just get off VLCPhotoProductions 's back.

  • @cac1228 no, no, no, i agree. when i saw this trailer i was majorly dissapointed. this video did NOT do the amazing Mortal Instruments series justice! ur criticism was and is needed.

  • and you call yourselves "fans"? You don't know the meaning of the word, you don't even know what respect is! This book trailer is great! The people who acted here are great! Cassandra Clare is great!

  • Amazing!!! LOVE IT!!!

  • EEEECK.

    XD

  • (cont'd because I feel like ranting) Let's not forget that Cassandra Clare CHOSE these actors herself. By being nasty and rude about the actor's abilities, you are actually being insulting to Cassandra as well, as she chose these people for a reason. This trailer is beautifully done and captures the essence of the books very well. I'd like to see someone do a better job.

  • I am actually so disappointed in so many TMI fans right now. Some of you people are just downright rude and acting like a bunch of snotty children. Grow up. It's one thing to have an opinion - which you are all entitled to - but to outright bash and say nasty things about someone else's work is unacceptable. When you are personally asked by Cassandra Clare, or any other author, to create a trailer for their book, then you have the right to complain.

  • I loved this book trailer!! It was made to entice me to buy the book and it does! Job done! Sold! The casting was very well done, each role was filled with exactly who I thought of when reading the series. The cast did an awesome job, very professional and each brought something of their own to the role. The lighting and directing was great, the make up and runes and the costumes were appropriate and made the characters come to life. Even the sound and CG I rocked! Can't wait to see the rest!!!

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I can only mention that the trailer left me more anxious for the book ... Great work !!!!,

  • meh, I just want the book already!

  • Omg i think this looked amazing! The actors did an exceptional job and the effects were lovely :) And gosh, so many people are hating on this, seriously, if you don't like it fine but didn't anyone ever teach these people manners?

  • the book trailer isnt that great but I am so exited for the movie and for CoFA!

  • I love this trailer so much!!!!

  • I'm excited for CoFA but i really did not like this trailer, it was very dissapointing and anti-climatic

  • I LOVE THIS TRAILER AND YOU GUYS DID SUCH A GREAT JOB I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IM SOOOOOO EXCITED I GET TO SEE THIS NOW YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!

  • OMFG Sebastian.... I love you

  • Awesome trailer!!!!! The girl who portrayed Clary did a great job ;)

    I'm anxiously waiting for the fourth book!!! So happy that I'm going to Cassandra's Fallen Angels Tours on April 5th!

  • where's Valentine?????

    Can't wait for the book!! :D

  • I loved the trailer! You all did an fantastic job!! Don't let the haters get you down.

  • I ♥ Josh Dibble & Maxwell Reed! The whole cast did great! Way to go guys!

  • @stargirlcomedian which ones did they play?

  • is a tad relieved that this is a trailer for the books and not for the movie! lol

  • They needed better actors and a better narrator... God this is atrocious.

  • Loved the trailer!! You all did a great job :) Can't wait to see the rest of them!!!

  • what happened to Magnu's GREEN cat eyes??? :( a bit dissppointing but it was really cool I <3 TMI :)

  • i <3 Maxwell Reed ... and the guy who plays Sebastian is hot..but i don't like this Clary...is horriblee for act!

  • I love it! I can't wait to see the rest! Great job by all the cast!

  • I like how Magnus looks :D

  • I think I liked the Clockwork Angel trailer better. It wasn't hyped as much and the acting was better.

  • not as great as i thought it would be... hoping the next two trailers are better!!!

  • Great books... But this is just terrible. :(

  • ALSO I AM excited to see the other trailers that they have in store for us! I know that these actors all worked hard and deserve praise as well as Vania (VLC Photo Productions), the make up artists, any designers, and Cassie Clare as well. You all are great! :)

  • Vania and all the other actors did a fabulous job! Thank for all your hard work, guys. I know SOME of us really appreciate it.

  • I think the actors and actresses did great! As an actress myself I know how much goes into a character & all the behind the scenes work! Everyone deserves to give their opinion & MINE is that it was great! I'd love to see these 'negative nancies' do it. Don't go being all critical when you have nothing to compare it to OR better yet if your going to give a negative critique give an explanation..be INTELLIGENT. Its not hard if you have a brain and a little class, I promise.

  • i dont care what negative things people say here, i enjoyed the trailer and think it is well done, to Vania & the actors involved dont let all this negativity get you down, you did great :)

  • I liked the part with the stele, and the very end when Simon's all "I'm sorry," but I didn't think the rest was very great.

  • Ooh, I loved it :)

  • Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this trailer: Vania, Josh, Tegan, Victoria, Saundra, Max, Brad, Carson and anyone I am missing. I, for one, loved it. I enjoyed every minute and am really looking forward to the rest of the goodies that are in store!

  • Comment removed

  • @AnimationMuse Well, thank you to Jeff too! :)

  • @ddpjclaf (Ahem) Jeff corrected me -- he worked on special effects and editing. (I gave him too much credit before. Wives will do that!)

  • I think the colors used in this are beautiful. Particularly the backgrounds.

  • If you pay $12.00+ and see a bad movie then piss and moan all you want. It cost you nothing to click play. If you are so sure it could have been better, why didn't you commission the job? Hair and make-up you can't even see really. If you are such an authority on looks then post a picture of yourself and let everyone dive in. Are you sure you are that confident in yourself? Just asking! Don't see anyone rushing to post a pic of themselves or video for that matter!

  • Loooooooooooooved it!! Amazing trailer, can´t wait for the other ones :D

  • I loved it I cant wait to get my hands on this book!!!! Its not some high budget film but come on guys, people worked thier asses off to bring to life a lil bit of the magic from the books we all know and love!! so seriously have some respect, and keep your mean comments to yourself! Because really you just sound sad.

  • @Serina1621 I don't believe they are mean. They're just opinions. To each their own. Yeah, it's not a high budget film and that's most definitely alright. But for TMI - it's not the best it could be. And I can't wait to get my hands on this book. Mainly for MALEC <3 <3 <3

  • DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDX The cornyness and horriblness is killing me DXXXXXXXX please if you haven't read the series it is AMAZING completely ignore this DXXXXXXXX

  • ahahahahahahaha

  • Lovely :-) So excited for more!

  • Do people not understand that these are not the same actors being cast in the movies? This is one of the best book trailers I have ever seen! You did a great job Vania and I can't wait to see part 2, 3, 4?, 5? :) You do amazing work and I think you do a great job showcasing the story through the trailers.

  • Great job team! loved it! i know how much we've all been looking forward to this and your all put so much into it. thank you thank you thank you!!! i'm watching this EVERY day for the rest of the month :P

    PS screw the haters, you cant please everyone but your certainly pleased a HELL of a lot of us!!

  • lmao that was pretty horrible. i like the books though.

  • Oh, come on, people. They did it for us. They enjoyed the shooting as well as we enjoyed watching all the photos and other extras and now they were eager to show us what they created but instead of being thankful we are rude and we are also ruining their well deserved big day.

    I loved it, I don't feel disappointed and I'm looking forward to the next trailer. THANK YOU!

  • JIMINY CRICKET GUYS. A lot of work went into this! If you don't like it, at least be respectful about it! I, however, loved it (: Amazing job Vania!

  • I think the actors are hot! Esp. Maxwell Reed! :) don't worry Vania! There are still people out there that love your work :)

  • i don't care what anyone says but i think that it was great!! go Vania Awesome job

  • I'm reading city of bones

  • As a major in film, video and all of the sorts. And being a fan of the MI series. That was, clearly, the worst trailer I've ever seen. Acting = disgustingly horrible. Wow. I can't believe how bad that was. We all know the next book will be FREAKINNG AMAZIINNG!!!<3 But for anyone...that just made a perfectly amazing book, an unbelievable cheesy pity. Who hired these people? I'm going to go round a cast and film a quality trailer for COFA. This is bull. I'm sorry, but I'm extremely disappointed.

  • @99writtenwords

    Not only bad acting, but horrible looks (hair, makeup,etc) I know these things are probably low budget, but come on! This makes the books, which are amazingly good, look horribly bad if you had never read them before.

  • @99writtenwords Cassie casted them.

  • @antea97 As far as I know, Cassandra Clare didn't participate in the casting decisions. Where did you get this source of information?

  • @99writtenwords She did participate in the casting. You´d know if you follow her twitter acount.

  • @MiBariloche I do. :P Either way. It was disappointing. Especially, Magnus Bane! I already knew how 'he' and the other characters looked, based on CC's tweets, but...-le sigh-

    If anything, we can all agree that this trailer does no justice to the series. It's an attempt and bravo for the 'attempt' - but it did have the potential to be better.

  • The trailers quite good, but it is kinda ruined by the acting *cough*

  • Um yeah. ..... that was pretty bad. 

  • Ehm, okay, I LOVE TMI, but I have to agree with @wick3tgirl. This trailer really sucks.

  • Go away haters! This was great! Congrats to everyone who act in this book trailer, especially to Josh Dibble (Jace), an incredible person and actor :)

  • i've been waiting for this for months......HORRIBLE acting....horrible effects.....ick D: oh well, at least it's not the movie movie

  • -_- bad video bad acting bad everything...love the series :)

  • I think the photos were a lot more exciting than the end product was ^^;; Can we just have more Mortal Instruments photoshoots, please?

  • Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! QIEROOOOOOOOOOOO!!! X_X

  • thank god the actors in this aren't the movie actors sdfjkljkalsjfasfsaf.

    this was still pretty good though, ugh imagine how good the MOVIE trailers will be, I mean this wasn't all that terrible the acting was the down part.

  • OMG IM SO EXCITED

  • TMI FTW! Although this trailer yeah.. hmm a bit strange.. but IDK TMI FTW!!

  • that really does not make me want to read the next book...

  • most of the actors are ugly i thought shadow hunters are suppose to be hot wtf

  • @oodaryoo1 Ugly?! Are you . . . Now, I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you don't have to think they're attractive, but for goodness sakes, try to remember that those are real people with real feelings. And those real people are seeing these comments. The couple of them that I know, and have spoken to, are beautiful people inside and out, and I'm sure have been hurt by such callous and unnecessary rudeness. If you don't like the video, fine. Actors? Fine. But, heck, be polite!

  • @TheSallyandQuinnShow @TheSallyandQuinnShow Look, you're totally entitled to hate the trailer — everyone likes different stuff — but comparing a movie that has a budget of $70+ million dollars and a book trailer with a budget of about three thousand dollars is like comparing a Broadway production of a play to a high school production of a play. There's just no reason to think they'd even be remotely similar.

  • Comment removed

  • This series is so fucking amazing -- but this trailer defo does not do it justice. Ehh.

  • TMI forever, really. but that is just... so... weird :P

  • Great trailer. Great cast. I especially like Clary.

  • Awesome, best booktrailer ever!!!

  • Horrible acting :S The books are great but I didn't like the trailer very much...

  • i absolutly loveeee the mortal instruments but the the trailer was.... a bit desilusionating... Can´t wait till the book arrives to Spain!

    Love Jace!

  • this is nice, as far as book trailers go. people shouldn't expect it to be a full feature movie, when it's really just to pique people's interest.

  • Awesome trailer! Love the cast! You rock it!

  • this is just awesome! I love the cast and they did a great job for the booktrailer! <3 love it!

  • OMG <3 Excited now (more so than before)

  • AWESOME TRAILER!!

  • This. Is. Epic.

  • Looooveeee itttt<333

  • I want it nowwww :O

  • @wick3tgirl thats your opinion and your entitled to it

  • @joshndibble since I'm stating the obvious, you are entitled to that too, yes.

  • I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it.

I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it. NOW!
