I am very displeased with Blizzard about not having a Barbarian, or a Witch Doctor trailer. Is there any way in which we could make a petition? or something along those lines to "ask" Blizzard to make these?. As it is, it really seems stupid in the first place to not have a CG trailer for all classes. But seeing as how the Barbarian is the longest running class in diablo right now I think they should at least give us a CG trailer for him/her. Please let me know if you think something like this could be organized or not.
Hm, yes that would be cool to see trailers for the other classes, but I think they just haven't had the time or need to release them. Perhaps we could pose this request as a tweet from our very own Dfans Twitter master... *cough Scyber.
I have actually asked this question on Battle.net and got a response from Bashiok. He basically said it wasn't worth the time to make them since the purpose of the videos was to announce the class. Since they were already announced, there was no need to make them.
Unfortunately, we will not get a video of the barb or witch doctor.
However, if you want to create your own petition thread on Battle.net, please feel free to do so. I'll sign it.

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
dont those take a long time to make?
work on the important stuff i say
They are easy to make because its in game cinematic not a real blizzard movie. Only the cinematic trailer is using the top of the line blizzard production.

hmmmm maybe i was just thinking of the DH trailer, definitely a higher quality then the other 2, which is what i was sorta thinking with assuming they take real long. But if they're going for the same quality as the monk and wiz trailer..... i suppose i wouldnt be opposed to it.
And why is that ridiculous? BTW the people who program the game dont do cinematic's and im sure that they have most if not all of the in game cinematic's are done, so I say give them some more work to do.
someone should suggest to bashiok (since he has enough free-time to see how far you can get with a wizard//barbarian without upgrading skills) That he should make some new gameplay videos with each class instead of further wasting intellect that could be useful.

3d artists (models) and 2d artists (skins) work on the cinematic movies.. Maybe they are the same guys working on the models, skins, environment and skill effects etc? I wouldn't want anything to delay the release of D3.
Don't get me wrong, it would be really cool buuuuut, like Bashiok said, it's not worth the time. Maybe it could be something they do after the release, just so each class has one, or maybe next years Blizzcon (if the game isn't already out by then).
It would be a waste of money and time to make them. Let those cinematic people work on more actual game cinematics instead, imo.
The cinematics department has nothing to do with making these films, besides voice acting. These are basically in game cutscenes to showcase the class, they use the in game engine not some super hi-tech CGI that you see in the cinematic trailer. Therefore its actually pretty easy because all they have to do is play through a quest basically and configure it to look close up at the barb or WD's face, then put voice acting some cool new things and then cut away and show real in game footage.

It really doesn't matter whose time you're wasting.
You're asking for them to bother with something so completely unnecessary.
This is a waste of anybody's time and nobody needs an introduction video or anything more for these classes. Its just a few people that suddenly says "hey, we didn't have one, so give us one!", and trying to unite people to get Blizzard to do such a small thing is sad.
I would really like to see trailers for barb and WD. Would feel much more complete.
Looks like we should now be expecting a late 2011 release date, so there ought to be time enough to do it.
Dunno if a petition would be necessary for it to happen but will definitely sign it if it's out there.
seriously OP.. does it really matter? shouldn't they just focus on finishing the game...?
What makes you think they will stop work on the game to make these cinematic trailers?
As for D3 release date being delayed for that, just lol! That game is long overdue now and they might as well put some effort in giving the chars some equal showtime/intro.
People will whine on how it's unnecessary but playing games is unnecessary in the first place, so I don't see why requesting something we see as important is in the least way ridiculous.
A petition should give an idea as to how many people this matters.
Edit- I still think these blocky animations that are being referred to char trailers are quite horrible (I would have preferred quality CGI).
But I'm still curious what they'll come up with when doing the ones for Barb and WD.
Sadly they won't make quality CGI because relatively few people actually watch those trailers. Most people watch the gameplay trailers and commercials, not anything else. For example, pretty much everyone in my school now knows that D3 is coming (and most are excited), but the major part still only knows of the Barbarian and Witch Doctor classes.
Then go! Spread the word of Diablo!
But yea, its pretty much the same thing for me. Once they get closer to release they'll probably have TV commercials and more people will know about more stuff in the game, but for the time theres really not much to follow for the average, not obsessed with Diablo, person.

And frankly, the in-game cinematic vids look loving TERRIBLE. And I mean LOVING TERRRRRIBLE. The Monk cinematic not only made boycott the game for about 6 months, it made me not want to ever see any things ever again. I couldn't even believe my loving eyes. I'm still not over it.

They are not exactly cinematics, they are machinima. And for a machinima they are damn good.
Whatever you want to call them, they look terrible dude. Making an argument based on vocabulary as opposed to how something looks as a standalone piece is... very apologetic. No offense, but seriously?

And don't forget the voice actors and audio crew.
