I was only commenting on those 16 seconds, and it was annoying to watch. Making no judgements about the whole video as I have not seen it. Don't read more into a statement than is there. I only said "that" was annoying to watch.

I just hope they can cut the length by 30-40%...the current one seems to just drag on way too long.
And while this one may be "trippy" with the mirror/kaleidoscope effect I hardly think that'll be in the final product. Often when I'm working with clients and will do a teaser/preview edit I'll add some effect or another for the 10-20 seconds that isn't indicative of the final product.

Annoying video, they should've stuck to the old one & bagged the profit. How ingenious of them to sell off their own internal $0.00 assets for profit, ingenious, another change we don't love.

I agree. I didn't find it annoying at all, and I'm going to wait until the whole video is available before passing judgment.

The last PMUA version had the right balance of information, professional, run time, yet not simply the inside of a plane. With calm plinky notes. And the first 8 seconds never ceased to rock.
And of course the *click* one Matthew linked to up thread is an all time great.

New safety video trailer is on YouTube now:
I've been bugging them on social media to let me play a passenger who learns to fasten a seatbelt for the first time, but looks like I need work on my persuasiveness.

Holy crap, the scene where the FA is floating in front of the Skydeck Ledge. I would have loved to see how they shot that (and how the FA didn't crap her pants).
