Ok, wrestling fans! I’m working on getting the Kickstarter campaign set up, and I wanted to float y’all an idea.

Ok, wrestling fans! I’m working on getting the Kickstarter campaign set up, and I wanted to float y’all an idea.

I’m a big fan of using the video as a teaser trailer, and not just shooting my floating head yammering. So, my thought for the trailer was to get video of people cutting promos in-character and edit it together with some narration or overlays about how the game works. These would be short clips, I’d probably take 2-3 sentences out of a longer bit and stitch them together. I’m aiming for, like, 2 minutes max. 

So, are there any volunteers willing to cut a promo or two into their webcam and send it to me? Bonus points if you happen to have a luchadore mask on hand or something like that. You’ll get super-special thanks, a link/shoutout to whatever website or whatever you’d like associated with it, and maybe something else special if I can think of something cool!

Also/alternately, other ideas for a fun, short, energetic video?

  2. I’d love to help out! How would you like the video files?

    Alternately, you could just make your pitch video a 2 minute wrestling promo for your game, with a 20 second “serious business” section at the end.

  6. I’ll see what I can do.

    Which is, by the way, my pro wrestling tag line.

    Interviewer: “You’ve got a big match tonight. Anything to say to your opponent or all the little Epimaniacs out there cheering you on?”

    Eppy, shrugging: “I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO!”

  10. Jason Cox My intention is to get in-character promos, and I’ll put them in context of what the game is about in editing. So the content should be in-wrestling-world stuff. As opposed to cutting a promo about the game – John Sheldon , I did think about that but I feel like it’ll be more shill-y than I want!

    Basically, I want to capture the visible enthusiasm of play, and since many of the folks here have played at this point, I think y’all are the best ones to show it!

  13. I have two different luchador masks, and I have a very long beard that looks like I could be the fourth member of the Wyatt Family. I’d absolutely be up for something both masked or unmasked (though the beard does tend to poke up under the bottom of the mask…).

  17. Let’s say…next Sunday, 8/10

    I’m happy to host a promo-cutting Google Hangout sometime this week. I’m not sure if you can record those, but at least for practice/encouragement?
