Just for the hell of it, here’s my very rough, first draft of my idea for a trailer for Station Generator. I need one if I’m gonna be on Humble 🙂
//Classical music plays in the background, Beethoven’s Ode to Joy or Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, Op. 36, something epic
Close up of dice roll: bounces once *thud*
//Cut to severalbytes logo fade quickly back
bounces twice *thud*
//Cut to station generator logo fade quickly back
//Click of dice setling
lands, rolls a little bit, close up on 20
//record skip sounds effect
Zoom in to close up of GM’s eye popping and cheers from the group
Cut to GM POV looking down the list of possible outcomes – have a few joke ones, resting on ‘No. 20: Space Station’
Players look from dice to GM all at once with a questioning look, raised eye brows etc
GM says ‘Space station’
Group cheers, then peters out a bit…
Player: ‘Uh… you have one ready right?’
GM: ‘Funny you should say that’
//Cut to footage of generator
//Close in shot of just a few rooms
//Dramatic voice
VO: ‘Need a plan for a space station? With Station Generator you can create… ‘
//Jovial music
//Cut to small station
VO: ‘Small stations…’
//Cut to big stqation
VO: ‘Big stations!’
//Medium hollow square station
VO: ‘Ring stations…’
//Extra exuberance
//Medium ring station
VO: ‘RING STATIONS!’
//Quick montage of a few different station
VO: ‘More stations!’
//Overview of basic controls,
VO: ‘Want a station quick? Set the size and use one of out presets’
//Pan down primary/secondary controls
VO: ‘But if you want more control, you can set nearly every aspect of our custom algorithm’
//Zoom in on save as .png
VO: ‘And when you’re ready, save the station to your hard drive ready for play’
//Cut to station printing out then cut to players intent on space station, deciding what to do
VO: ‘Station Generator, out now in digital stores now!’
//Fade to logo card with websites and credits stuff etc
