Doomsday Paradise: Indie Party Game Trailer
Richard Gibson for Janet / James the Gameplay Expert
Janet/James is the gameplay expert. After our poor trailer voice actor has a panic attack on set they step in to finish the trailer, explaining some of the gameplay to the viewer. The most important thing is that they sound like they're having fun.
The Monster Prom Teaser Trailer has an excellent take on this style of narration: https://youtu.be/koYQwQzJJ1s?t=53 It's not "epic" but it sounds like the VA is smiling the whole time- and that kind of unspoken smile is what I want to capture.
[Excited to showcase this cool THING you found]
Welcome to Doomsday Paradise![This is the narrative hook in a sentence- Janet/James is excited about it and wants it to sound fun!]
Play with your friends as heroes who’ve decided to put off saving the world so they can bum around instead.[Janet/James is very casual about the whole apocalypse thing. They're very excited about stealing credit though!]
And maybe after you get tired of goofing around and showing off- deal with that whole apocalypse thing. Or better yet- steal the credit!
