Congrats on the series Frederic, great VFX!

2 points to make: first up, the "German" officer at the head of the trailer has an abysmal accent. No dialect coach on set?

Secondly, the archive material has the wrong aspect ratio. I's very saddening to see that error in a show on which you and your team obviously worked very, very hard. What is it with post production crews (and directors, and EPs and techcheckers)? Don't they see that the 4:3 material has just been stretched?

[fredericlumiere]

Thank you. Yes, there was a dialect coach but I don't speak German so I can't tell...

The aspect ratio is correct, the frame was zoomed to fit the 16:9 HD frame but the aspect ratio was left intact.

It looks like this should be good. There are a lot of screwed up things about America without a doubt. But, I still think this is the greatest country on the planet. It is made up of EVERYONE from every nation and the combination of that kind of is what makes us what we are; not Italian, not Irish, not Black, not Native American, not German, not Ducth, not Chinese, not Japanese, not Indian but American. Everyone that sacraficed their lives honorably should be honored.

Because soliders of the German army tend to speak German.

Always been proud to be from Piedmont, WV and this makes it even better! Good job!

My dad and I stopped on our motorcycles a couple of hours ago outside Piedmont WV, a sign there said "birthplace of Aubrey Stewart". We thought, who was he? He traded his job at the Luke paper mill to fight. My dad worked at the Luke mill for about 40 years.

Way too much CGI

This reminds me of the movie, "Regarding Henry." Why, you ask? Because it's the only other trailer that made me cry.
