Attention is a currency which a lot of game trailers lose in seconds... That's why I craft my trailers with a story-driven approach. Players don't just want gameplay, but something they can invest into. An excellent story will always have a lasting impact.

Some cool frames from a #indiegame trailer I just completed for a client. What have you been up to today?

This is a reminder to ask clients for positive reviews/testimonials. If you’re actually solving big problems for your clients and over-delivering with excellent service, they’ll be more than happy to.

It's #TrailerTuesday so I thought I'd share some super cool shots from a game trailer I edited for the game's Steam page... How do you think I did?

To my fellow video editors… What methods do you use to help balance multiple videos/ clients?

Your sign as a remote worker to get a change of scenery. Try working at a nearby café or a library (if you have the means to).

When you constantly try to learn more about your craft, you'll set yourself apart from people who aren't doing the same.

I've learnt that when making a game trailer it's important to understand where the players are on their specific journey... Knowing what stage your market is at helps you provide exactly what they are looking for. #IndieGameDev #indiegames

We've really got to a point where people can't even write a few sentences off the dome without the use of AI.😂

Go on. Don’t market. Don’t advertise. Don’t tell anyone your game exists. Let’s see what happens.
