Final Sophomore Spinout Racing Trailer

Here it is, my final trailer for Sophomore Spinout 2017! Our levels were only taken up to a greyboxing stage, but they're pretty fun regardless. Enjoy!

Racing Trailer Analysis: Gran Turismo 4 Intro

Although the Gran Turismo 4 intro starts out with prerendered footage, about halfway through the mood changes and it switches to using in-game clips. This trailer plays upon loading the game, and has a good mix of everything-- personal, dramatic close up shots, long shots of the race tracks, and exciting racing footage. It starts out with the prerendered footage backed by an opera song to build up an "epic" feel, set up the drama and tension of the racing atmosphere, and provide some beauty shots of one of their cars (the Ford GT.) When the race officially starts, the tone of the trailer quickly switches gears and jumps into Panama by Van Halen, setting an exciting, upbeat pace for the rest of the intro which consists of racing footage-- getting the players hyped up for the fast-paced action they're about to experience as they play the game.
