About Player One Trailers
Player One Trailers is a creative agency and video production studio specializing in official video game trailers, in-engine cinematics, television commercials, and promotional media. Founded in Washington State in 2016, the company works with independent developers and major publishers across PC, console, and mobile games. Its productions range from announcement and teaser trailers to gameplay showcases, launch campaigns, and developer diaries.
The studio provides concept-to-completion production, combining creative direction and writing with gameplay capture, editing, visual effects, and audio production. Early development can include tone discovery, scriptwriting, storyboarding, and the construction of a narrative arc suited to a game's marketing campaign. Production services extend to cinematic sequences and machinima, as well as live-action promotional filming and broadcast commercials.
From game footage to finished campaigns
In post-production, the agency combines editing and color grading with motion graphics, title animation, visual effects, and animated logos. Its audio work includes custom sound design, layered sound effects, mixing, and voiceover casting and direction. These capabilities support projects built around gameplay footage, cinematic storytelling, live-action material, or a combination of formats.
The company's portfolio includes trailers and promotional media for Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin II, alongside announcement, gameplay, and launch trailers for Pacific Drive and Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods. Other work includes expansion trailers for Stellaris, promotional trailers for The Long Dark, and productions for Pistol Whip, Path of Titans, Wyrdsong, and MythForce. Its clients and collaborators span independent studios, established publishers, and interactive technology companies.
Originally developed from freelance trailer work in Bellingham, the business later established its main operations in Bellevue, Washington. It operates within the Player One Studios umbrella, with commercial trailer production remaining its central focus.
