It lets you vote for all of them so hopefully they bring the trailer out faster. :D
Yeah should be trailer 4, if it isn't then i'll go kick Paramount up the ass.

Watch, it's gonna take like 100,000 tweets or something rediculous to unlock all 4...so it'll probably take up until Friday when TF4 comes out to release the trailer...

So they didn't bother making individual character silhouettes for this campaign? (Of course they didn't.)

But we don't know if it REALLY counts. What if they only unlock when the hashtags get tweeted enough times?

Yes... I mean heck I just posted about this over on another forum and the universal response was "no, i'm not doing that" people don't like having to post things on social media to unlock stuff online, it's poor form IMO.

honestly, i still think it counts, because the verbage they used was - "tweet your vote for...", which i am taking to mean, that we are already voting (by clicking on the image), and now they are simply giving us an avenue to tweet about it.
ive been clicking on the Leo one for the past 10 mins, in succession, I wonder how many times i actually voted if it does count? :lol:
Yes... I mean heck I just posted about this over on another forum and the universal response was "no, i'm not doing that" people don't like having to post things on social media to unlock stuff online, it's poor form IMO.
Yeah, agreed. While social media means that companies can get fans to do a lot of the online promotion for them, essentially forcing them to do it like this is very poor form. If you post good content, the fans will be happy to share it and talk it up. If you make them jump through hoops and do extra marketing work for you to even access that content in the first place? That's just a cheap attempt to make them build hype for you, and it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. And it should, IMO.

i dont know if you guys watch THE LEGEND OF KORRA, if not, you should; but the first two episodes were released online two weeks ahead of broadcast schedule because NICK ran a promo, that if fans voted so many times over a a period of time, they would premiere the episodes online super early. They were expecting votes in the thousands, and got votes in the hundreds of thousands.
we can do this. i want to see NEW footage in HI-DEF. what a great way to start off the week.

He's knows nothing. That picture is from facebook and not indicative of how far along we are. He's full of himself.

They were expecting votes in the thousands, and got votes in the hundreds of thousands.
And in that case, where the fans get actual, full, free content ahead of schedule, something well beyond what's essentially an ad... then sure, I get the appeal. But if they're making you jump through hoops for the honour of them promoting their product to you... then something's kinda backwards here, don't you think?
So, they don't get credit for getting countless people to tweet about their movie?
It's a personal preference thing, but I really dislike this style of marketing - I feel that they should be promoting the movie themselves, and getting social media attention based on the strength of their marketing. Instead it seems they're telling people to do the social media marketing for them, and if you all do a good enough job, then they'll actually promote the movie.
It's an attempt to artificially trend the movie on Twitter, basically. Instead of (potentially) getting that to happen naturally by just releasing the material. I'm just not a fan of the idea on any level. But your mileage may vary.
Wow, this is ultra-nitpicky.
How so? They went out of their way to give each Turtle specific designs with unique silhouettes, and now they're not using them in their own promotion. I wouldn't even be hard to do, but the online marketing on this movie has a track record of extreme laziness.

Once all are unlocked they'll release as "exclusive" trailer... Are they serious.
They must know people are dying to see trailers (prob lurking around sites like this, aren't you), and I guess then making fans do marketing work for them via twitter. :roll:

well said, and its hard to argue with your logic (not sarcasm - because im actually rethinking my initial excitment)
dont get me wrong, i am excited still, but because hundreds if not thousands of tweets get published every minute, I imagine its get harder and harder to trend - that being said, from a business standpoint, using your consumer base as free marketing is nothing new - logos on t-shirts do the exact same thing. we pay to wear brand, and when seen by others, is basically free marketing. unfortunately i do not think this mentality is anything new, so to be applied to social media, seems like a natural step.

Not wanting to start an argument here, so I will say this and then drop the issue.. but it seems obvious to me that they would NOT do four different silhouettes so that the character posters stay entirely hidden. Viewing it as laziness just seems like a reach to me, because there has been a clear theme among the people who can't get behind this movie. One of the elements has been "lazy marketing". I don't see how this fits that description in any way.

Oh, totally. From a business standpoint, I understand it and I know why they're doing it. Getting the customer to do your marketing for you, for free? It's a bean-counting executive's dream come true! I just personally dislike what that represents. If you tweet about a movie or wear a brand t-shirt because you're a fan and you actively choose to, that's totally cool. And I do that a lot myself. Because it's coming from a place of fandom, reacting to the content, making a personal connection with it and wanting to express that.
But this feels shadier, more manipulative in a way, if that makes sense? It's not simply fans reacting to the content - it's making them work for it in the first place. It makes doing the promotion the customer's job, on top of actually paying the corporation for the product they promoted for them, and... eesh. I worry about where that's leading, y'know?
But... I admittedly have very strong feelings about this sort of thing. :tlol:

I actually love this type of interactive marketing. Just wondering how long this is going to take.
Not wanting to start an argument here, so I will say this and then drop the issue.. but it seems obvious to me that they would NOT do four different silhouettes so that the character posters stay entirely hidden. Viewing it as laziness just seems like a reach to me, because there has been a clear theme among the people who can't get behind this movie. One of the elements has been "lazy marketing". I don't see how this fits that description in any way.
The silhouette is... what, Leonardo, right? It's a silhouette of a specific Turtle. There's no reason they couldn't have done the same for each one, considering they have unique designs and would also have unique silhouettes.
And let's be real - the online marketing is criticized for its laziness because it's been lazy. Most of the marketing has been paint swatches, coloured text, and barely-photoshopped stock photos. This actually has a bit of effort behind it, but again - they could have gone the extra mile and clearly chose not to.
I think we're the monkeys.

have you ever seen the show MAD MEN - its craziness; but it opened my eyes to what happens behind the scenes (not the personal affairs, but to the types of conversations executives have behind closed doors pertaining to product placements, and how to best utilizie their consumer base). I know its fiction, but just listening to a lot of what they say, and seeing how advertisements today work, its really eye-opening, and like you said...a little scary.
but call me a lemming, but I have to agree with others here, because its a property i love, it hardly seems like work, and im almost enjoying the process - BUT...I WILL SORELY DISAPPOINTED IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE TRAILER 3...like throw a tantrum like my two-year old upset. if that happens - then ill happily admit BRY that I got duped. but i hope it doesnt happen. :lol:

first we get to see who the fan favorite turtle is! Then after that's outta the way, we will all band together and vote like crazy to see the trailer *___*

What the hell is so wrong with this type of marketing?
There isn't a problem with the type of marketing. This is actually a clever idea to build up hype. One problem though: they've released two trailers already that were almost exactly the same, and their viral marketing consists of nothing but stock art. Also, how many official images of the turtles have been released? One or two? Every other shot of this film I've seen has Megan Fox. Any turtles pictures are just magazine scans or something. All that kind of kills the hype a little (and by a little I mean a lot).
Combine that with the fact that the film comes out in less than two months and they're pulling this stunt just now... man. Someone dropped the ball. If this was something they wanted to do, they should have had this Twitter thing started in, like, March, around when the first trailer was released. That'd give people time to realize that there's a TMNT movie coming.
The loudest voice about this movie is the negative one, and now people learning about the new movie go onto the internet, see sites like this where lots of people are screaming about how terrible it'll be, and assume since we're TMNT fans we must know what we're talking about. And subsequently don't waste time with the movie.
See, if they had done this Twitter thing months earlier, before trailer 1 came out, then the film would trend on Twitter and would have pumped people up a lot more. First impressions are important, and if they'd seen that first trailer while TMNT was "trending" on Twitter, they'd have still been relatively excited for it. What actually happened was people probably stumbled on it by accident and said, "Meh."
And it's probably going to be Trailer 3 guys.

Ok, made a 6th Twitter account because I'm pretty much out of my mind, but they've each got six votes from me now.
(And if anyone ever hates on me for being a "hater" of the part that bugs me, I will bodily throw them into this thread to wallow in their dislike of my opinion. So there.)
P.S. Mike's toes currently looking slightly more colored in. (Come on Leo people!)
Edit: Have mentioned this link one Nick's Turtles FB page so more will see it.

How is this lazy marketing? They could have just put the trailer up six months ago. That would have been the easiest and laziest thing to do. Instead they created a new website, set up a twitter voting campaign and are stirring up more attention by keeping things quiet and secret than they would if they just released everything a long time ago. How is that lazy? This movie started it's marketing closer to the release date because they are going after children. TMNT fans are already going (Yes you are! Don't even pretend.) The closer to the release date the better so you can get all of the kids excited and tie it in with the season finale of the tv show and then use the movie to get them excited about the season premiere of the show. Honestly, how much advanced notice do people need that a movie is coming out? A month isn't enough time for you to clear your calendar? Don't assume that just because you don't understand their reasons for doing things that the marketing team on this film are a bunch of morons. The marketing team has this entire forum and millions of other people around the world watching their computer screens waiting for posters to be revealed. They have people who claim to despise what Paramount has done with the turtles talking about it nonstop. I would say that is some pretty clever marketing.

Not bad... I'll never be a fan of some of their choices, but a rather noble depiction of him so thumbs up.

They could've did more of an expression on his face, but other than that it looks pretty good. Can't wait to see the rest.

Yeah I agree, I wonder why the art style has been so inconsistent. It doesn't really look like the Leonardo I've seen in the trailers.

Still not sold on the lips and nostrils (I'm hoping they'll look better in motion) but as someone who wasn't sold on the designs I have to say Leo looks pretty awesome, certainly better than the earlier art they released.

Is it just me, or do the turtles look different in every picture we see? This Leo, the one in the trailers, and the stock photos we've seen on the action figure boxes all look different.

Yeah... I think lighting and photoshoping may just be a large factor between this one and the footage, though the art that's on the merchandise looks more illustration to me than coming directly from 3D render.

It's not just you; I think they're still tweaking and refining the faces as they go.

Yeah.... his face looks like bad photoshop. Some people have no concept of design and it's really shocking for hollywood grade work. It's not terrible... but it looks like they put this photo (his face) together from two different renderings of Leo. I see this all the time... I don't know why these people put more effort into this than is actually needed. Are they just trying to show off with their "skills"? Make it seem like they are more valuable than they actually are?

o.O Bingo... there's less lip. No wonder I find it slightly more flattering. Hmm... now did they tweak it for the footage... that would be an awful lot to render out again, that junk takes quite a while.

The tweak makes Leo's face look even worse.
I put an APB out over at Rangerboard to let them know about the Posters.
Hope it helps.

Ladies and gentlemen... presenting DerpLeo.
Seriously... that is in no way better. It's like they heard all the criticism about the lips and decided the lips themselves were the problem, and not the weirdly humanoid facial features as a whole they were packaged with.
Maaaaaan.

Im pretty sure they didn't change the design that much in the movie, its just that this character poster is just poorly rendered. Im pretty sure most people forgot about the fact that his lips looked similar to this in trailer 2 and that came out almost 2 months ago.

They really should have gone with the idea of them being adults, if crap wouldn't have hit the fan over it.

Ya mind being specific on what forms of "haters" we're talking about here... >.>
In terms of the models, from the neck up, yeah I'm a "hater." Though I actually find this and the merchandise imagery slightly more flattering. Slightly. It still hasn't won me to Leo's/their look, I doubt this movie ever will, but if anything this new pic isn't quite the same "dear god!" reaction at least...
But soon it will be Mike's turn to be scrutinized. Leo after all is one of those people keep saying looks best, so this next one should be interesting.
