Godzilla 2014 had the same effect. TBH a lot of Western giant monster movie trailers and posters have that design in it somewhere, where the monster is hidden just enough by for, water, mountains, or buildings to show "this thing is fking huge" while not showing off the (full) monster design.

You guys are good. I totally used the Chinatown shot from Godzilla 2014 as ref when building out the edit.

New track, probably made for the trailer, but some cues are from 'Fear Not This Night'. Notably at 1:00 and the end!

Yep, this was composed specifically for the trailer by Brendon Williams.

Braham smiling during the Commanders speech! OH MY

Yes! I'm so happy someone noticed. I had a lot of fun with the other Cinematics animators figuring out exactly the right amount of smirk/smile to give our B-ham.

Those facial and body animations in the trailer. Damn. So good!

We had three animators working on this one (Ryan Goodwin, Da-Hee Im, Chelsey Shuder) and they all nailed it.

I just want to say bravo and well done to you and the rest of the team. The cinematics have felt SO much more dynamic than the vanilla game, and you all do a wonderful job of visually telling a story.

Thank you.

Thank you! I'll be sure to pass on the praise to the team :)

That is the commander- or Anet's placeholder/stand in for the commander. Lately they're fond of using an Elonian male model.

We call him "Duncan" internally.
