Link to the original trailer:
• DayZ 1.28 Update Teaser
Longform video showing how I approach sound design and editing for game trailers in Reaper — using an update trailer for DayZ as the example.
I know it’s a long one, but personally I enjoy these kinds of videos too — where you can actually see how and why someone does what they do, in real time.
..At the very end I actually received another round of feedback with new music iteration so I gave the trailer another pass but that one I didn't record. That's why the actual trailer sounds a little bit different on the DayZ channel.
