Scene breakdown

#TimeOn screenVoice-over / dialogue
10:00–0:08Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg."It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner."
20:08–0:20Montage: delivery app scrolling, greasy takeaway bag, receipt total $34."So you order takeaway. Again. It costs too much, and you still feel tired after it."
30:20–0:35Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl."GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes."
40:35–1:00Phone screen: choosing 5 meals from a weekly menu."Every Thursday you pick your meals for next week. Spicy, vegetarian, high-protein — mix whatever you like."
51:00–1:20Courier at a door on Sunday, cooler bag handed over."On Sunday we deliver everything chilled, in one bag, in a two-hour slot you choose."
61:20–1:40Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in."On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up."
71:40–2:00Text cards: "From $9.50 a meal", "Skip any week", "Recyclable packaging"."Meals start at $9.50. Skip or pause any week. And every container goes in your recycling bin."
82:00–2:15Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling.Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month."
92:15–2:30CTA. Fridge from scene 1, now full of labelled boxes. Website and code on screen."Your first week is 30% off with code FIRSTBOX. GreenBox Kitchen — dinner, sorted."

Production notes

  • Total runtime: ~2:30 at a relaxed reading pace (about 300 words)
  • Scenes 1 and 9 use the same fridge for a before/after payoff
  • Scene 8 can be replaced with a real customer review if you have one
  • Music: light, upbeat acoustic; drop it out on the hook line in scene 1

About this service

Steam, console and mobile store trailers have seconds to show what the player actually does, so the strongest ones open on gameplay, not logos. We script the beats: the hook shot, the core loop, the escalation, a twist or a boss, the title card and the wishlist call to action, with on-screen text and a capture list of moments to record in your build. Narrator or character lines are added when the trailer needs them.

What is included

  • What you getA beat-by-beat trailer script with shots, on-screen text, optional voice lines, music cues and timing, plus a capture list for your build. Delivered as text and as a file.
  • Gameplay firstThe hook in the first seconds
  • Beat structureLoop, escalation, payoff
  • On-screen textShort lines between shots
  • Capture listMoments to record in your build

    BeatsWe write shots, text and cues

What we need from you

The genre and core loop, the platform and release date, 3 to 5 moments that show the game best, the tone, any story or characters, and a link to the store page or gameplay footage.

We will ask you:

  • What is the genre and the core loop?
  • Which platform and store is the trailer for?
  • What type of trailer do you need?
  • Are there characters or a narrator?

Questions and answers

Do you edit the trailer?

No. You get the script and capture list; you or your editor cut the trailer.

Should the trailer have a voiceover?

Most gameplay trailers work better without one. We add narration or character lines only if the game's tone calls for it.

Will it fit store trailer rules?

We open on real gameplay and show only what is in the game, as Steam and other stores ask; check each store's current rules before uploading.
