Game Trailers
Releasing game trailers prior to the game’s launch or during marketing campaigns attracts attention and builds anticipation. Engaging launch trailers can highlight the game’s key selling points, like its graphics, storyline, gameplay mechanics, characters, and unique features in your game advertising. Not only are we a video game trailer company, but also game and game trailer analyzers; this is why we guarantee an increase in potential player base.For example, the narrative impact of Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” cutscene draws in an audience and keeps them engaged in gameplay.

Pixune Studios went above and beyond to ensure that the 3D animation required for my project was completed by the deadline and within the budget that was allotted.

SURPRISED WITH THE QUALITY

We had a character animation that needed to be done for a large project and we were given a short timeline. Pixune and the team worked with our internal team to take one scene. They were prompt, worked within our timeline, and delivered quality work! I was hesitant to hire an outside of our company as we typically handle all animation in house but the timeline was too short for our team to complete. We were presently surprised with the quality and how seamless the workflow was. Would recommend!

FAQ

How Much Does a Game Trailer Production Cost?

A 1 minute-long game trailer production can cost at least $10K to $20K for 2D ones and $20K to $50K or more for 3D ones.
The cost of a game trailer can vary greatly depending on several factors such as art style, number and complexity of assets (scenes, VFX, animations, visual elements), technical specifications, and time.

You can contact us right now to receive a price estimation of your game trailer today.

Producing a 1-minute-long game trailer can take 2 weeks for a simple 2D game trailer and 3 months for complex 3D ones.

Multiple factors can affect this time span, such as the art style, number of assets (characters, environments, props, etc.), VFX, technical matters, and your budget. You can contact us right now to get a time estimation for your game trailer today.

Here are 3 key tips for better managing your budget and timeline:

  1. Clear Brief and Communication: Define your project’s goals, art style, and any specific requirements at the first production levels to achieve the desired final look. Frequent communication can also ensure alignment and pretend cost and time overruns.
  2. Art Style: The more complex the art style, the more budget and time it requires. Try to choose an art style that fits your budget and timeline. Stylized, cartoonish art styles are generally faster and cheaper to produce compared to realistic, photorealistic art styles.
  3. Number of Assets: It’s better to reuse already-created assets to manage the budget and shorten the process. For example, design one book and use it in different colors, sizes, and orientations in a library.

We provide game trailer services in the USA, UK, Canada, the Middle East, etc. We understand the importance of seamless collaboration across borders and time zones. Most of our clients are from the USA and here is how our 3D animation studio ensures efficient collaboration despite time zones and languages:

  • A dedicated account manager will be assigned to your project, available during flexible hours, including weekends, to facilitate seamless communication and act as an interpreter if needed.
  • All our key team members, including the project manager and those you’ll communicate with, are proficient in English for efficient collaboration.
  • Our pre-production stage involves identifying your needs, playing your game, writing a tailored script, creating storyboards and an animatic to time the action, and developing concept art to guide the style.
  • In production, we create detailed 3D models of characters and environments, texture them, rig them for animation, and bring them to life frame-by-frame through expert animation.
  • Post-production adds the final touches like video editing, sound effects, music, lighting, visual effects, rendering, and color correction to take the video trailer to a polished, cinematic level.

There are 4 reasons for you to consider outsourcing your video game trailer:

  • Saving Money and Time: Video game trailer production requires specialized talent across many roles, and hiring them in-house has challenges. A professional video game trailer company houses all the expertise necessary to bring your visions to life efficiently, speedily, and cost-effectively.
  • Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity, too? Apple partnered with Hovey-Kelley for creative ideas when inventing the mouse. Game trailer studios thrive on imagination and creativity.
  • Quality: Practice makes perfect. Video game trailer companies produce countless trailers, constantly honing skills and staying current on current trends and tools. Their experience enables high-quality game trailer delivery without wasted time or budget.
  • Scalability: Expanding a video game trailer production scale requires growing your team. That’s challenging in-house but not for a video game trailer company with access to more artists. Video game trailer companies maintain larger talent pools and connections to scale up readily.

There are 4 criteria for picking the best game trailer company for your projects:

  • Portfolio: A company’s expertise is showcased via its trailer portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
  • Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in any game trailer company is its online reviews.
  • Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
  • Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best company in the world, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a game trailer company that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.

Yes, we can implement your game assets into your video game trailers and deliver them to you.

Here are 6 key elements that make video game trailers effective:

  1. Engaging Storytelling: A trailer should tell a story, even if it’s just a brief glimpse into the game’s world. This helps viewers connect emotionally with the game.
  2. Dynamic Soundtrack: Music and sound effects play a crucial role in setting the mood and atmosphere. An epic, adrenaline-pumping soundtrack can make action sequences more thrilling, while a haunting melody can emphasize a game’s darker themes.
  3. Clear Messaging: If there are unique selling points about the game, such as innovative mechanics, new DLCs, or exclusive content, they should be highlighted in the trailer.
  4. Call to Action: At the end of the trailer, there should be a clear call to action, such as a release date, pre-order information, or a prompt to visit the game’s website.
  5. Avoid Spoilers: While showing off the game’s best moments is tempting, it’s crucial not to give away significant plot points or surprises.
  6. Relevance: The content of the video game trailers should be relevant to the target audience. For instance, the trailer might highlight connections to previous games if the game is a sequel.

Cinematic game trailers can range in length from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the complexity, scope of the game, game stage, platform, budget, and time.
For example, if you are releasing a new character for your game, a 30-second trailer could be great for you. But for a trailer that showcases all options of your game, a 30-second video is not enough.

Our video game trailer production company offers high-quality 2D and 3D animated cinematics and trailer videos across different styles, from photorealistic and stylized to cartoony.
Here, custom animation styles are also available if you have something specific in mind. We can match or combine multiple styles to achieve your ideal vision and create game trailers in any style you desire.
Let us know your vision, and we’ll make it a reality through our flexible and customizable game cinematic services.

Here are 3 key managing tips for rushed projects:

  • Build in a buffer time (plan for 5 weeks if your target timeline is 6 weeks) for contingencies, iterations, and reviews. Buffer time acts as a protection against any errors or issues related to the project force majeure. This way, circumstances that might not go as planned are taken into account.
  • Build in a buffer budget due to the need for additional resources, overtime hours working, revisions, and changes. While some changes might seem minor, they can accumulate, leading to significant increases in both costs and time.
  • Consider reevaluating some aspects and changing your project scope and overview by reducing the complexity, number, and length of the game trailer. For example, there is no need to design several unique characters for a crowd at a wide angle; you can have a few and use them in many variations.

Here are 7 strategies to help you benefit the most from a partnership with a game trailer production company:

  • Provide a Clear Brief: Start by providing a detailed brief that outlines your project’s goals, target audience, style preferences, and any specific requirements or references. This clarity upfront sets the right expectations and success.
  • Exact Planning/Milestone Request: Request a detailed production schedule that breaks down the key milestones and deliverables from the game trailer production company. This transparency allows you to track progress and ensure timely completion.
  • Stand on Your Values While Trusting the Studio: Establish parameters based on your unique values or objectives. While maintaining oversight, be open to the game trailer production company’s creative suggestions in both technical and artistic aspects. Our experience shows that 93% of our clients who trust us tend to achieve better results.
  • Request Regular Updates: Ask for daily or weekly progress updates depending on the project’s complexity. This frequent communication ensures alignment and allows for timely course corrections.
  • Have a Comprehensive Contract: Establish a detailed contract that covers timelines, deliverables, payment terms, delay penalties (if applicable), and any other crucial terms.
  • Document Everything: Maintain all communication records, including chat logs and meeting notes. This documentation serves as a reference and helps mitigate potential disputes.
  • Foster a Safe Environment: Encourage an open and collaborative atmosphere where the game trailer production company can freely express creative ideas without fear of blame for mistakes.
