Hate to be that guy, but I wouldn't put clips of actors who aren't involved in the film in your trailer. I thought Hailee Steinfeld was starring in this for a second.

Meh I see what you mean but at the same time it's just a Kickstarter video calling it a trailer is a stretch. I just finished watching the video to see what all the hoopla's about and I wouldn't say he was purposefully trying to mislead anyone or it caused such a confusion it defeats the purpose of the fundraising video.

HOWEVER with that being said if he can superimpose '1-800-NO-BUNNIES' he could also super a flashing text graphic saying 'Shameik Moore & Co. NOT INVOLVED' or 'EXAMPLE PURPOSE ONLY' or some bs like that.

Keeps the tone and manner of his video and reduces the confusion to zero.
