Arma 3 Laws of War – Campaign Trailer
I was tasked with the Laws of War Mini-Campaign trailer as a sort of salvage job. When I got it, it was stuck in an endless cycle of pre-production reworks.
Laws of War mini-campaign is quite short, but was well received by the players. Finding the right tone for the trailer and showcasing what the story is about without major spoilers was certainly an interesting task.
While the tone was largely dictated by the overall voice of the campaign itself and previous Laws of War marketing communications, the form was a tough nut to crack.
The entire campaign story is revolving around an explosive ordnance disposal expert Nathan being interviewed by Katherine, a journalist, about his work in the town of Oreokastro and the armed conflict that afflicted it. Because of that, we decided to base the entire trailer around a dialogue between these two characters, illustrated by relevant moments from the campaign.
Since Arma campaigns usually feature very few (if any) cut-scenes, many scenes from the trailer were created specifically for it and can not found in the campaign.
