Epic store trailer: which music do you like better?

[hitech]

We're putting together a short trailer for the Epic Games Store page and I'd like your vote on the music. Same picture, two different tracks:

Version A: https://dload.hitechcreations.com/dales/epic_trailer_A.mp4
Version B: https://dload.hitechcreations.com/dales/epic_trailer_B.mp4

This is a rough draft. The card in the middle is a placeholder for a Crew Chief clip that still has to be recorded, and the final will be smoother (60 fps).

Which do you prefer, A or B?

Footage from steely07's Sizzle Reels and Dadtallica's P-47M videos, thank you both.

I vote B.   Sounds more "epic".

[Domin]

They are both really good. I'd MAYBE give a slight edge to B.

[Eagler]

B

But I think crew chief should be a sexy redhead or blonde in a thong bikini with an Australian accent...

A here

[Bizman]

Musically I'd prefer B but for advertising the game as a game instead of a dramatic movie A works better in my opinion. So A gets my vote.

A

It adds action and leaves more to the imagination and doesn’t date the era, and easier ear worm.

[steely07]

I'm a B guy, but they're both good!

[LilMak]

B. Mostly because of the music.

I’d probably edit more damaged planes into the film rather than simply exploding. AKA wing broken off and spinning out or bombers falling out of formation with a broken wingtip? Cockpit view with oil on the windshield?

Perhaps a gunsight shot from inside a tank firing and blowing up a building or something?

[The Fugitive]

I like "A" better for the video.

"B" is more epic, but the actions slows or speeds up from clip to clip and it just seems out of time.

"A" on the other hand isn't so much "music" as it is a "theme" and so you don't notice the timing differences as much. Just seems smoother to me.

[Dadtallica]

Frankly, I think you should use both. Each work well in different sections, but not in others if you have them smoothing in and out at the right spots it would be nice.

Gun to my head it’s B… that feels more on point for the genre and the target audience.

B

A is cool for a little bit but then it gets to be too long.

A combined with b would be great. Start off with a and then have the second half of it be the b music. You could easily do that because there's no real music in the a it's just a beat. And then it would jump right to the bee music. Just a quick edit

[-gg-]

If you were me I would do the A drum thing for about 5 to 8 seconds and then jump to the music from b and then at the end go right back to the drum music as it fades out.
