PACIFIC DRIVE:
WHISPERS IN THE WOODS
LAUNCH TRAILER
We had the pleasure to revisit Pacific Drive once again when Ironwood Studios and Kepler Interactive asked us to create the launch trailer to the upcoming horror expansion: Whispers in the Woods. To do this, we ventured into the dark with our trusty stationwagon.
1/10
We were tasked with creating the trailer from concept to completion, handling everything from direction, gameplay capture, editing, and VFX, to sound design, motion graphics, audio mixing, and overall production polish.
We decided early on with Ironwood that this trailer should be tightly paced, quick to the point, and create a great overview of the tone, feel, and story, without spoiling things too directly. We decided to create small cinematic moments across gameplay sequences that helped push the trailer forward, from the reveal of the cult, to the change of the garage as you return from your first trip.
We combined those set pieces with our motion graphics work, taking shots from the game and placing the text within the scene, building on the world and eerie feeling, all to help establish the key selling points of the DLC.
On the audio front, we interspersed lines from the game that created a sense of mystery and revealed more threads for the player to explore, but without giving too many answers. We then did an audio treatment on both the lines and the sounds in the trailer, mixing them from the game and some of our own effects to help amplify specific moments to be more impactful.
All of this combined with our overall trailer process created a strong asset to help launch the next chapter in Pacific Drive.
