Videos and Recruiting for CoH

This weekend my friend's son(12-14 years old) signed on to his father's email account to send me an email about how much fun CoH was. He even tied his facebook account to his father's to post his daily adventures for the past 14 days too.

Before I notified his father, I sent him this link to the videos so he would convert his account. Where can I get official CoH videos? I know this sound stupid but as I was building a promo email to send to him I noticed on youtube, others come up before "official CoH" on the search results. Dark Respite comes to mind.

I built a list but I don't think these are all official. Can a veteran take a look at these and tell me which are official? Issues 1, 2 and 5(couldn't find a features 5), Issue 15, Issue 18(Did Dark Respite/Samuraiko really do it?/couldn't find one, was issue 18 classified as Going Rogue? I have the trailer for that one if so) But none of these had the traditional Ncsoft/Cryptic start.

How can I tell what is official? Some of the clones were very good.
Also, in the past I linked directly to NCSOFT but now with the flash garbage you can't link to running videos. Their either downloadable or you have to go through the vault front (http://www.cityofheroes.com/media_and_downloads/videos/videos.html) Frankly, I don't why they still use FTP. Everyone filters that port.

I have all the official videos downloaded - I'll double check these against them and let you know... give me a few minutes.

EDIT: Issues 1-9 are the official trailers (including the Asia launch). Checking the rest...

EDIT 2: All of the rest are official, but the GOING ROGUE trailer you have is mine. The official one is:

(And the CGI trailer for GOING ROGUE is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9SbmRX9sbs )

EDIT 3: The reason the intros vary is because of who did the vids. Some had the ESRB ratings right off the bat, some didn't. Some had NCsoft, some had Cryptic, some had both... nowadays it's usually ESRB/NCsoft/Paragon Studios, then the vid.

Was there no feature promo for i5?

I'm almost certain there was - I'm trying to find it.

There are also teaser trailers for several of these issues as well (CoV had several). I have been badgering the rednames for MONTHS to put ALL of the official videos on their YouTube channel, but they don't listen to me.

EDIT: As for why mine show up before the official ones, I have no idea. You'd think the official videos would be more popular, but what do I know? As for how to tell if it's mine - ALL of my videos on YouTube have the tag "Samuraiko Productions".

Did you know that when I key in Coh official, your videos come up first. How did you do that? Are you an SEO specialist?
I see paragon finally has a spot inside of youtube, but I think it's funny how many clones are out there before them. I really enjoyed your i18 video too :-)

I'm modeling in 3ds Max CoH characters this semester, maybe we can work together in the future. I have to make a 30 minute video. I bought a HP 8740w Quad Mobile Workstation last week with a 2GB video card and 32 GB RAM...so I'm ready to hit it hard.

Dr's stuff was good. About the video downloads, I wanted to put something together that was click and fun. Sending emails of actual videos isn't what I want to do. I'd send them to the website if the videos played but they don't. You have to download them. Most people won't spend time doing that.

Having gone through all the vids I have, I think you're right, and one did not get done for Issue 5. Weird. Whereas some issues have more than one ad (CoV being the big one, but I-10 not far behind).

And to somewhat dispute Battlerock_X's comment, I wouldn't say mine are better than the official ones. Mine are different. And PS has raised the bar quite a bit on their last few vids.
