Best Practices & Pitfalls to Avoid When Creating Game Videos
summary
Portfolio lists 123 game videos and a production pipeline that starts with a brief of 12 questions (four decide goal, audience, platform rules and prioritized features). Scripts follow a one‑feature‑per‑scene rule; storyboard captures reveal when to record gameplay vs. build scenes in‑engine or use animated assets. Sync animation to music with a metronome, animate one or two scenes early for feedback, and expect 1/3–2/3 viewers muted so do sound design anyway. Localization often makes a 30s English cut become 30–40s (Japanese); pricing is practical: charge per scene, not per second.
