Some friends of mine - Ole Peder Giæver and Martin Bull Gudmundsen - have written an RPG called "Itras By". It's in Norwegian, so it's probably not very accessible to most people here - but what's interesting is that they've made a teaser video for the game. This is pretty common in Nordic LARP circles, but I don't think many RPGs have done this before.
You can see the teaser here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwCequ9rKdc).
That's a really interesting and creepy video, made more so by the fact that I don't understand any of the voice-over. Warning to others: there is some NSFE (Not Safe For Eyeballs) mess in the middle.
We did something similar for the Shab-al-Hiri Roach (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rjVKiGSheYI), which I think works well as a no-budget trailer for the game. I'd love to see more of this sort of thing- it's a great way to get across the tone and theme of a game, without getting into the details just yet (that's what demos are for).
The guys at 12 to Midnight recently made a couple of videos for their Steamworks product:

Any info on how it was made?
It looks like a lot of old stock footage, but it's a lot better than what I've been seeing online.
A lot of the old footage is from Un Chien Andalous (or however it's spelled), an old surrealist movie. The rest, I don't know...
Really nice!
Some footage is from La Cité des enfants perdus (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/) (also quite surrealist). Aren't there any risks with copyright?
I'd be very interested in reading an AP of Itras by, Matthijs!
