Looking for Sizzle Reels/Machinima game pitches

littleclaude

Hi,

Can you help, I am looking for "Sizzle Reel / Machinima game pitches.

When I visit games companies these days, many of the larger studios show me a games pitch movie to get an idea of their game. Its normally a mash up of games/films/bits of there own work all mixed into one and they present it along with their media design document.

Here are some rough examples but not quite what I am looking for. Do you know of any as I would like to show them to my students.

Still not what I am looking for but I don't think any games company is going to post a games pitch online due to copy right issues and also diluting the brand. So just going to post some clips that are very loosely in the same theme.

Has anyone made a game out of Youtube choices? like a story book game you might have had as a kid.

Regarding a pitch reel : why not attempt to make your own ?

You could try to grab a few movie trailers with seemingly antagonist themes and edit them into something else. This is pretty much what Neil Blomkamp is doing for his movies (with more or less success, as his latest offering looks very underwhelming and formulaic ... which actually shows the limit of that approach.)

For instance you could do something very similar to a District9 trailer by taking some clips from a documentary about the apartheid and squeeze in some clips showing robots or aliens from any scifi show. It will be rough around the edges, but that's the whole point ...

Also keep in mind that the source material doesn't have to be video. A simple presentation with slides and added captions is just as effective, if not more.

Lastly, an example of a game pitch through mashup : Portal could be summarized by showing clips of Doom (FPS) and clips of the original Super Mario Brothers or PacMan arcade games (with the levels looping on the sides of the screen). And so on ...
