INSIDE: FAN TRAILER

When I was applying for a role at Maverick Media, I spent a weekend cutting together my own trailer for Playdead’s Inside.

I deliberately avoided watching any of Playdead’s official trailers so I wouldn’t be influenced. Below you can see my version side by side with the official one. It’s great to compare the two and spot the different choices we each made about what to highlight.

My approach was comparatively more conservative on the supernatural elements, only teasing the abnormal aspects of the game right at the end.

Playdead’s approach created an unsettlingly eerie atmosphere from the start, while I presented a more cozy vibe that slowly began to unravel.

I also liked how much shorter the official trailer was, and if I were to make any changes to mine, I’d decrease the runtime.
