I feel a little empty-brain in the case of of the script for new promotional video. And basically I don't like it to be just another funny machinima scenes. I would prefer more mature video than any machinima that look like more a comedy series about Colobot's stuff. Of course @DavivaD done good work and put some ideas that feels "CoLoBoT", but just like @tomangelo once said in ShoutBox - this looks just like another Harlem Shake, which from the beginning was nothing more than developer's joke video. And I think we would create more such humorous promo videos using game's engine and implementing new features for creating such scenes, but not this time in the case of CoLoBoT's 15th Anniversary.
I would only show some real gameplay and comparisons between new and old. In the background there would be some original Colobot's music and some announcements and descriptions in Kabel font to stay as close to original as possible. This shouldn't be like another trailer with bombastic music and editing or anything like that. Just some kind of summary video, maybe even with some kind of timeline that shows what happened through all these years, some screenshots and concept drawings that can be found in ceebot.zip or on the Internet (old Colobot website and PPC portal + Colonization project that we worked few years ago before we got the source code), some gameplay footage from CeeBots etc. And then at the end new (a little bit more polished) renders of the logos that I done for 0.1.6 promotional video and that's it.
I think this basically doesn't need to be more than that.
