9: What makes a good indie game trailer? ft. Derek Lieu
As the ancient greek philosophy used to say “a good indie game trailer says a thousand words”. That’s why in this episode we try to say a thousand words about what makes a good trailer and common mistakes to avoid.
Trailer mastermind Derek Lieu joins us as a guest. You have probably seen his, frankly ridiculous, body of work that includes Half-Life: Alyx, Spelunky 2, Firewatch, Ooblets, Dead Cells, Subnautica, Heaven’s Vault and every other cool trailer ever made.
