Movie Trailer, Music Video, Promotional Video, Commercial

Cautions:
-avoid delicate content...not sure? Be sure to talk to me.
-avoid questionable music choices. If it is offensive, or must be bleeped out, it will detract from the film by pulling the viewer out of the scene. Also it is not appropriate content.
-if you would not play it for Mr. Rasmussen, then don't use it!
