I have been taking a break from development for a week to plan, shoot and edit a new trailer for Estranged: Act II! Here's the finished product, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de4BaFiGYd0]available on YouTube[/url] (4k, 60FPS), [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/582890/Estranged_Act_II/]and on the store page[/url] (in 1080p). [previewyoutube=de4BaFiGYd0;full][/previewyoutube] [h3]Behind the Scenes[/h3] [b]Part 1 - Storyboard[/b] The main structure of the trailer was something I planned out first, with the rough storyboard completed within an evening.

[code]MUSIC, FADE FROM BLACK John: The island seemed like the perfect place. John: Tranquil John: Picturesque MUSIC FADE TO ECHO, CUT TO BLACK John: Isolated MUSIC John: They didn't tell us what had happened John: I don't think they even knew John: But they tried to cover it up John: How can one company sow so much destruction John: I need to find a way home[/code] [b]Part 3 - First Draft[/b] After that, the work on the video began! I completed the first couple of shots with the music and voice over in place. Here's the very first draft video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foJHTwJBkrs [b]Part 4 - Daily Drafts to Completion[/b] I made in total 8 drafts, uploading around 1 a day until the trailer was complete. Working like this helped me keep the end in sight, and helped with giving myself a daily goal of uploading a draft showing more progress. I was also able to circulate the drafts amongst my family and friends, which was extremely valuable to garner feedback. Below is the final trailer edit!

Watch this space for the next updates, which will conclude the story of Estranged: Act II. Thanks for playing Estranged! Alan
