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
