Follow dramatic structure for the best effect (setup > build > climax > conclusion).Zoom in on details the viewer should be paying attention to, if confined to a smaller area than the entire screen/UI.You don't have to showcase every mechanic, just give an idea of how it plays.The most important general tips can be summarized with a few bullet points: I'd read a bit about trailer production before and saved the best bits, so I started by refreshing myself with some useful reference articles, the two best sources of information for me being Kert Gartner's blog and an article by. The easiest way to talk about all the aspects of trailer production is to simply follow the process from beginning to end. In all I spent several days researching and testing various recording, editing, and encoding methods, a day or so scripting animations, several days per iteration recording various game content, a couple days about half-way through thinking of solutions for various issues, a couple days collecting and analyzing feedback, and another couple days producing and encoding the final version. At first I considered hiring someone else to do it (a professional), but I like creating things myself, and finding, hiring, and bringing another person up to speed on the project would take a while, not to mention one of the most time-consuming parts-collecting clips for a trailer-is something I'd still have to do myself, anyway. In the end Cogmind's 90-second trailer required nearly three weeks of full-time effort from inception to final production. My previous experience with ASCII videos taught me that they're difficult to do well, so I knew it would take a while to find a satisfactory process for Cogmind.
