FILE 09 / SERVICES / GAME TRAILER EDITING & SOUND DESIGN

Trailers That Make Games Look & Sound AAA

No vague quotes. No endless loops. Transparent, deliverable-driven production built to get indie games noticed and funded.


Service Overview

Built for indie devs on their 1st or 2nd game who need a punchy, atmospheric hook — Steam page, Kickstarter, or social drops — that makes their game look and sound like a AAA release. Every package separates asset delivery requirements (what you provide) from creative polish (what I own), so you’re never on the hook for things outside my control.

TIER 01 / STEAM & SOCIAL TEASER

The Steam / Social Teaser

15 – 30 Seconds

Quick social media drops, Twitter/X marketing hooks, or short-form Steam store loops.

  • 1x 30-second high-impact teaser trailer (1080p or 4K master file, optimized for Steam/YouTube)
  • Cut to rhythm with custom, proprietary sound design (Foley, UI hits, ambient transitions)
  • Custom dramatic musical sting or short dynamic loop (sourced/adapted from your library or custom composed)
  • 1 round of revisions

$350 – $500

Turnaround: 3–5 business days from asset delivery

TIER 02 / THE FLAGSHIP OFFER

The Core Gameplay Trailer

45 – 60 Seconds

Main Steam page launch trailers, Kickstarter campaigns, festival submissions.

  • 1x 60-second narrative-driven gameplay trailer
  • Pacing, shot selection, title/text card integration, and hook structuring
  • Full Audio Suite: complete sound design pass (impacts, weapon/mechanic sounds, UI, atmospheric beds, environmental audio layer)
  • Custom Music Track: bespoke, punchy musical arrangement tailored to the trailer's emotional escalation
  • 2 rounds of structural/polish revisions

$750 – $1,100

The sweet spot: affordable for an indie team pooling $1k together, high enough to compensate for a week of deep editing and custom scoring. Turnaround: 7–10 business days from asset delivery

TIER 03 / CINEMATIC SHOWCASE

The Cinematic & Gameplay Showcase

90 – 120 Seconds

Major publisher pitch drops, major festival showcases (Future Games Show, IGN, etc.), Kickstarter launch.

  • Up to 2 minutes of polished cinematic and gameplay intercut
  • Advanced narrative framing and psychological pacing (leveraging a horror/tension background)
  • Complete spatial sound design, dialogue cleanup/processing (if VO is included), custom multi-part dynamic music track
  • Project source file delivery option + 2 alternate aspect ratios (e.g., 9:16 vertical for TikTok/Shorts)
  • 3 rounds of revisions

$1,400 – $1,800

Turnaround: 10–14 business days

Asset Delivery & Terms

Asset Delivery

Required, so the build never stalls:

  • Footage organization help available as an add-on (+ $150)

Scope & Revisions

Protection on both sides:

  • Creative polish is included — clean, uncompressed captures are yours to provide
  • Additional revision rounds billed at $75/hour
  • Clear milestones, clean project files, zero guesswork

All services operate on a 50% deposit / 50% upon final master sign-off model.


Selected Cuts

Examples of trailer and teaser work built around withheld information: what a cut earns the right to show, and what it never does.
