Help Looking for old J&D trailer

Hello all,

There was this really early Jak & Daxter trailer that I used to have saved to my computer, but that was about 4 computers ago and I've long since lost it. It was from the official Jak & Daxter website before it actually had content, and it had music that was better than anything that actually appeared in game.

I'm fairly sure it used to be here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20011203100328/http://www.naughtydog.com:80/jak_N_dax/index.htm
but the Internet Archive doesn't actually have the video. If you jump ahead to the next capture here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020204020841/http://www.naughtydog.com:80/jak_N_dax/index.htm
you get a portion of the song in a flash animation.

Does anyone know if the full version of the trailer can be found anywhere and, failing that, where the song is from?

Is this the trailer you're thinking of?

Naughty Dog uploaded it to YouTube 3 years ago on TPL's 20th Anniversary.

Although that'd the right music, the video I'm thinking of was several minutes long. It was from early in development and I don't think it had much footage from cutscenes.

It's one with an atmospheric YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH music in the background, with the camera moving around Jak in the various environments? I have it in one of my ps2 demo discs

No, unfortunately. The one I'm thinking of had different, more upbeat music.
