Project: Chessman Adventures EA Trailer
Client: Merlin Game Studios
Role: Video Editor/ animator
Programs used: Davinci Resolve

Description: I was tasked with creating a new Early Access trailer for Chessman Adventures. I worked with the development team to plan the type of footage needed, creating a rough shot list to make sure the trailer showcased the new content clearly and in the right order.

After putting together an initial version, I asked for feedback and identified areas where the footage could be stronger. I then requested additional shots and closer camera angles to make key moments feel more impactful. I also worked with the sound team to make sure the music, sound effects and pacing all worked together with the edit.

For the final end slate, I manually edited the original artwork and animated the characters and background, combining this with composited VFX elements to create a more polished finish. The final screen was designed to clearly communicate the Early Access release and where the game would be available.
