    I think the main thing is the quality of the video and lighting used to film it.
    
    I'm not an expert and I have no idea what the terminology is but we've all seen footage from within id Software's offices and it usually just looks like it's shot using a camcorder. The shots in this trailer look like they were filmed on a set for a television show.
    
    Of course for all I know it really was shot on a set for a television show and the developers drinking coffee and wearing the DOOM shirts were actors. In which case it's even more impressive that they spent the money for this.
    
    Whomever they hired needs to get hired by Gearbox for DNF ads. And quickly.
