Illuvium Arena PvP Gameplay Trailer

Back in 2023, Grant Warwick and I put this together for the Arena PvP launch. The biggest win for us on this project was that it’s 100% true gameplay, no post-fixes, no beauty passes and no enhancements.

The workflow was as raw as it gets: we played the game, recorded the actual battle data into a sequencer, and then placed our custom cameras within that recorded session to capture the action. It was just the two of us handling the entire trailer from start to finish. Since I was co-art directing the game’s visuals at the time, this trailer was the ultimate proof of concept, showing that the engine-level fidelity we worked so hard on could be captured and delivered as-is without needing any cinematic trickery.
