What this service covers

We begin with the trailer goal, audience, duration, key beats, required claims, platform specifications, and available assets. I develop a treatment, shot list, or storyboard appropriate to the package before final capture or rendering begins.

Production may combine supplied gameplay footage, in-engine sequences, rendered cinematics, titles, motion graphics, editing, color work, and licensed audio. New characters, environments, animation, voice-over, and extensive gameplay capture require explicit scope.

A trailer can communicate the game clearly but cannot guarantee wishlists, sales, press coverage, or platform approval. All footage, music, logos, ratings, trademarks, and promotional claims must have suitable rights and client approval.

What's included

  • Creative treatment or storyboard
  • Editing or scoped cinematic production
  • Titles and basic motion graphics
  • Agreed platform masters

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a finished game?

Not always. A teaser can use an approved build or finished CG assets, but incomplete systems and placeholder art limit what can be shown honestly.

Can you create all cinematic assets from scratch?

That is possible only with a separate asset, animation, environment, and rendering scope. The trailer package states exactly which production assets are supplied or created.

Is music licensing included?

A budget for a licensed library track can be included. Exclusive composition, performer fees, voice-over, and broad commercial licenses are quoted separately.
