Machine Gun Gardener Horde Mode Trailer
A sequence of fun gameplay shots cut to music in beats showcasing shooting, explosions, and gameplay features.
I began by searching for music that would set the tone and inspire the rest of the trailer. I eventually discovered ''Chiptuned ROck Music'' by Bertsz available on FreeSound.org. I used OBS Studio as my video capture software to curate several rounds of raw gameplay. Taking the footage into Adobe AfterEffects, I edited key moments of content matching the pace of the music bringing everything together.
In order to capture dynamic camera shots, I created a custom script that triggers preset camera movements based of an input of my choice, e.g., pressing spacebar at any point in the game will cut to a camera panning across the main gameplay area.
