How Derek Lieu’s YouTube channel improved my Trailer…

Devs,

If you haven’t viewed Derek Lieu’s channel and you’re attempting to make an indie Trailer for the first time, in my opinion, you’re doing yourself a disservice. My first few attempts at Trailer-making were colossal trainwrecks to say the least.

I wish I’d kept a link to my first Trailer so you could see the improvements. Nevertheless, you’ll find both Derek Lieu’s channel and Critical Chaos’ Official Trailer links at the bottom of this post. 

Bottom line, I learned how to balance gameplay with storytelling, using gameplay to tell the story and the magic of accents. If you don’t know what accents are, view this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucwxZGMnSDc&t=218s

My current Trailer, though a vast improvement, will be replaced by an even better LAUNCH trailer in the near future!

A special thanks to Amaiguri for the trailer references; it completely changed the game for me!
