Making the Offspring Fling Trailer!

Ever since I saw the awesome 90′s Super Meat Boy commercial by James ID, I’ve wanted to make a trailer or video that had that same sort of vibe. There’s something so wonderfully awful and nostalgic about those old Nintendo and Sega commercials from the 90′s. I grew up on these ads, and looking back on them now, it’s amazing that I took any of this seriously :) That being said, they hold a place in my heart, so being able to make something that parodies that style was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

Making the Hunger Games: Girl on Fire Trailer!

“Hey dude! whats your schedule like?” was the subject-line of the email that I recieved from Adam Saltsman back in late January… The first thing that ran through my head was “Busy as hell!” but I can’t say no when Adam approaches me with a cool opportunity for a game trailer. :)

Making the Serious Sam: The Random Encounter Trailer

Of all of the video game trailers I’ve created in the past 10 months, this was by far the most fun to assemble, and easily the most complex of them all.

Making the Super Crate Box iOS Teaser Trailer

Making this trailer came up quite by surprise. I had no idea that Vlambeer was working on an iOS port of Super Crate Box for iOS, but I’m so pumped that they are! Rami shot me an email out of the blue and basically said, “Hey We’re announcing Super Crate Box for iOS in a day or so. Would you be able to whip up a trailer for our announcement?” I love the Vlambeer guys and everything they do, and I wanted to do whatever I could to help get the word out about their game.

Making the Card Hunter Teaser Trailer

Back in May of this year, I was approached by none other than Jarrad Woods, AKA Farbs about making a trailer for a game he was working on… All of the previous videos I’d done were for the Winnitron 1000, and this would be the first video game trailer I’d been asked to make outside of that project, so I was pretty stoked!
