A fun trailer made for a PvP 2D game from GameLab in Zurish ETH
05.2024
Project Brief
This pure motion graphics trailer was made for a game "Culinary Showdown" developed by a candidate group in the Game Programming Laboratory Project in the ETH Zurish university. I design the video with delicacy to promote the game and make it compelling to new watchers, as well as making the video informative enought to express the game mechanics.
Project Info
Context: Group Video Project
Category: Game Promotion Video
Tools Used: Davinci Resolve Studio, Figma, Adobe After Effects
Client: ETH GameLab
Collaborators: Weiyi Zhang(ME), Haoran Xu
My Role: Animation, Video Editing, Layout Design
Process & Outcome
The game emphasized on the 2D third-person shooting form, and built a 2vs2 combat game with fast pace and both novel visual and gameplay designs. Since the required video length was restricted within 1 min, I planned to make the video as fast paced as the game itself.
I played the game several times, understood its mechanics and fun parts. I discussed comprehensively with the game developing groups to gather amending ideas and aspects to improve. I also leveraged the visual icons and other assets for the game, and used After Effects, to make a motion graphics video that captures the core of the game, as well as expressing it in a very funny vibe.
