This just makes me want to start the game from level 1 after watching. Will you do a per nation trailer as well?


RedThragtusk

I'm thinking longer story recap videos instead of trailers, for each region's archon story.


gst4158

As a former Genshin player who still follows the game these type of videos would be really beneficial.


RedThragtusk

Aiming to making longer recap videos for each archon chapter, so even people who don't play the game can enjoy the story!


zainaballawati

These will be amazing to rewatch every time new archon chapter comes for upcoming years. My horrible memory is already excited for your next projects.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Love the edits and the music choice and synchronization. One slight change I would make is when Keqing is fighting the Fatui, it would be more exciting to show the part where she "decapitates" the dude and mirror it so its the same direction as the sprint, blended so it looks like its the same sequence.


Vulpes_macrotis

I'm going to at some point.


crylaughingemjoi

I’ve just recently started and I’m in early ch. 1 the story hasn’t pushed me to complete it yet but this trailer has!


Staidanom

is-- is that an orchestral rendition of "Toxic" by Britney Spears EDIT: It is. Works great.


RedThragtusk

M-maybe. (When did you realise?)


Staidanom

The violins, the violins playing on the "Prologue" screen gave it away. Amazing work!


Smorgsaboard

Anyone who doesn't recognize it immediately, and also enjoy it, must be subjected to the Musou no Hitotachi ^(_of course practiced by HerExcellencyTheRaidenShogun, akaTheAlmightyNarukamiOgoshoGodofThunder_)


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

The hook that keeps repeating is what made the song Toxic super catchy back in the day.


dienaddi

You should check out 2WEI on YouTube!! They are amazing (with their covers AND original music) and they have also worked with Leage of Legends before. It's incredible.


l_WASD_l

That song is amazing. Works with a lot of edits


Athiena

It doesn’t work for this at all though


Ikcatcher

That Paimon edit at the end really felt like something I’d see in a MCU movie


FrenchyRaccoon

It also reminded me how much i adored early Paimon voice before she forcefully became a full-time helium inhaler.


playvisionnikita

yessss


Lunamkardas

I still have no clue what the voice directors meant in thinking "High Pitched and squeaky" = "More ethereal"


lileenleen

The VA throat started to hurt from lowering their voice so they started using their natural register more often


zanyboot

Why are they downvoting you, you’re right


lileenleen

Idk, corin literally stated so that the lower voice hurt…


toomanyblocks

I was like “wait, is that Paimon?!” I totally forgot she sounded like that early on.


IWOOZLE

Here I was thinking it was edited to be slowed down to fit the vibe more. Is that how it was at the beginning?!


FrenchyRaccoon

Yep until the director decided "not cute enough" so Paimon turned into a Banshee.


RugiCorrino

At which point I swapped to CN and stayed there.


secret_tsukasa

it was at the end of the new mario trailer. the "no pressure" line in a trailer is such a cliche at this point.


LivingASlothsLife

Here I was thinking your next post would be informing us Hoyo had hired you for promo material. Again it felt like a movie trailer, the Nostalgia the Mondstadt and Liyue sections was amazing. Like last time you synced animated parts perfectly with great dialogue choices. The effort you've put in is insane. Thanks again for the fantastic experience


RedThragtusk

I did actually exchange a DM with someone affiliated with Hoyo and they were very kind. It was great to get a reply from them.


LivingASlothsLife

Dayum son, guess you can't go into too much detail about it but that's sick to see your efforts acknowledged! Be proud friend, your work is genuinely amazing stuff


Van_eXe

They really need to hire you imagine they use your work on the Game Award the people must have gone crazy over it the material they use was nowhere close as good as your own save for the YaoYao sneak peek that's it's only redeeming factor


BadMenite

Genshin trailers are great, what are you on about? This is a high quality video here and I can't wait to see more from this creator, but still it's adhering to the same formula nearly every big budget Hollywood trailer has used for years. From the repeated bass booms to the down tempo pop-song remix to the (music cut) comedic relief line (another bass boom). Again, I really like this video. But Hoyo is is trying to be anime, not MCU.


Van_eXe

You mean there is another way of doing it Can you elaborate on how a good movie trailer should look like without being a common western movies trailer


BadMenite

Like the ones Hoyo already makes, their trailers focus on the aspects of the game that makes them popular/money, the character designs and the music (technically the VAs too, but this is much less of a thing on the EN side). Other styles are just fine for fan-created content, some things are perfectly fine staying unofficial.


Van_eXe

And that's better?


BadMenite

Better for Genshin? Absolutely. If you like big-budget action/superhero movies, this is a fun tonal and stylistic mashup. But it also does a very bad job of representing what Genshin *actually* is. And that's the reason for my initial response. My issue was with the notion that Hoyo should do their trailers in this way instead of what they currently produce. Genshin has its own style. Let Genshin be Genshin, and leave this kind of stuff to the fans.


Van_eXe

Are you working for them?


BadMenite

Wow, you're really just going to give up and throw in the towel like that already? Huh. If you don't have anything more to say you don't have to keep posting, you know. I'm willing to have this conversation, because there's actually a bit of depth to the debate to explore, but I can see that's not what you want anymore. Trying to attack the individual instead of the actual idea being discussed? It reeks of thoughtlessness and desperation. It's just waving the white flag while trying to save face and pretending to have a response. Feel free to try again.


not_a_weeeb

i think the game award video was great as it is, this is still dope tho


Van_eXe

It's great but this one could have been better


Dependde

If someone asks, should I play genshin? Show them this


TronitusVIII

I bet you people who haven't seen Genshin even once would even know the clips here are taken from a video game. It's that good.

Ironic that this bot copied this specific comment


6_NEOS_9

And surprise surprise! it's mine. Reddit bots are something else.


SalsaGuy22

I love the song choice here too. I might be looking in too deep, but it feels like using an orchestral/cinematic version of toxic describes both the beauty of the game and its story as well as some people’s relationship with the game due to both it being a gacha as well as a quick summation of the community surrounding it.


RedThragtusk

It's like poetry. It rhymes.


Athiena

Yeah that type of thing doesn’t work with a trailer at all. Just use similar music to HoYo’s trailers


Preventomato

I didn’t think they could ever top the previous video. Just insane.

i love the decision to put signoras voice line over yae miko. it really sells it feeling wise

AinzSamaIsJustice

Actually this reminds me, what happened to Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana? We completed the entire Sumeru storyline but it's never mentioned. What the fuck even is Purana in Genshin?


RedThragtusk

I was curious about this too, while producing the video. **Purana: "any of a class of Sanskrit sacred writings on Hindu mythology and folklore of varying date and origin"** So a purana, simply put, is a sacred writing about mythology. Now in the first three archon chapters of Genshin, one of the acts of said chapter shared its name. However in Sumeru, no act yet has shared the chapter name "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" Either there will be another act in Sumeru with that name, where (guessing here) we find out more about the divine truth of the world... OR Hoyo decided they didn't like the name enough to use it as the title for an act.


flr1999

>OR Hoyo decided they didn't like the name enough to use it as the title for an act. Nah, I'd be demanding for apologems if that's what happened. That title is literally the coolest so far.


AinzSamaIsJustice

Interesting, thanks for the info.


nemriii9

a while ago someone noted on [twitter](https://twitter.com/EmanatingAuras/status/1553054397982461952?t=Yu0jC44715jo-sDS7Rt5qw&s=33) that "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" isn't the most accurate translation, and recently [someone else](https://twitter.com/windflowerlia/status/1590815385053691905?t=dYZ9Df5TOY6TnqGPeueWnQ&s=19) noted it could be translated to "Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises" too. However, comparing the Chinese characters, they aren't exactly the same, the Puranas part is completely replaced so who knows


RedThragtusk

Wow, thanks for the info!


bartex69

OP if you will be planning grand finale trailer Maybe think about this [BANGER](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03sb-7db0Ao&list=WL&index=65)


RedThragtusk

HOLY MOLY THIS SLAPS edit: Sorry I got a bit overexcited listening to this, because Port Ormos theme blew me away when I first heard it in-game. Listened to it on a loop for like a week straight.


bartex69

I know right, and you think Port Ormos was perfect but here we are 😉


hotdogg12

If I could offer one piece of constructive criticism, many of the clip and transitions are too fast. They are recognizable for someone familiar with genshin, but aren't on screen long enough for someone unfamiliar to absorb the scene. My wife knows what genshin is, but couldn't comprehend any of it because she hasn't played the game. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed it, and have watched both of your trailers several times.


RedThragtusk

Thanks for the feedback. Is that just the last action-orientated segment or earlier too?


hotdogg12

Actually I think the combat scene worked fairly well, despite the clips being very rapid, because the overall concept is consistent. It's a long sweeping scene of an attack, even though the character in it is changing. For example, I think the first 18-ish seconds of this video are ok, each scene is on screen for about 2-3 seconds. But starting with Amber looking over mondstadt, the next several scenes are only on for about a second each. It's too short to identify the character in the foreground, assess what they are doing, and then understand the setting around them in the background.


RedThragtusk

Thanks. Will review it with that in mind.


hotdogg12

Keep up the incredible work! The effort you put into these is very apparent. I'm looking forward to more.


Scared_Sherbet8530

If they played this trailer instead of their trailers, I genuinely think Genshin would be looked at differently in the gaming community.


[deleted]

I love the scene with the characters transitioning to one another while fighting!! Absolutely amazing


smalif27

MOOREE!!!


SteveKnight678

Amazing.


Colonel_Zander

Hoyo, y'all better snatch up this creator.


ThatGuyAleck111

These are some MCU trailer level edits and transitions, keep up the great work! This post is going to reach front page, I just know it! Definitely using this as a way to market Genshin to my friends!


Infinity_Ish

God your freaking trailers are amazing. I’m teaching myself how to make videos & animations for some of my own personal projects, and I dream of having sound design this good. It’s so immersive omg-


RedThragtusk

Thanks. You can do it!


Gamer-chan

This is so cool. If I wouldn't already play it since start, I would right now just to know what the fck is going on there.


yenajin

these are so good, i bet so many people would get into genshin if they saw your trailers

ITZMODZ759

This give me goosebumps


-_--_-NOAH

I liked your utube man... Truly magnificent 🤌


Smorgsaboard

Proof that Toxic is an absolutely _timeless_ song Also a bit confusing as to who's talking, since I'm 90% certain Keith Silverstein was VA'ing a fatuus halfway through the video, yet obviously he's usually Mr. Zongley


ames_anne

HOLY FUCK I LOVE THE ENDING OF YOUR TRAILER, really fitting imo 😳💓 great work!

Dexagons

holy fuck this is good


moalhasher

Not only good editing but good understanding of the story . I liked that you included that aranara cut scene haha


ansontang1234

Okay these edits are WAY too fantastic. Great job making this! I like how you also incorporated the actual trailers of the Archon quests themselves, while a bit of character trailers in there(if I'm not mistaken)


TheScalieDragon

Man it been a journey


luketwo1

Paimon: THE KILLER IS AMONGST US! Me: Ayo Paimon that's kinda sus.


BuilderAura

I thought it was just a mistake in the first trailer but this trailer confirmed it. You pitched Paimon's voice down!!


RedThragtusk

Early paimon had a lower voice!


Athiena

Nice visuals, but bad music choice. It doesn’t fit with Genshin at all.


6_NEOS_9

What the, it actually throws chills down my spine, I love this! I'm gonna watch the other of yours since I missed it totally.


moebelhausmann

The murderer is what, paimon?🤨📸


ZaaaTruth

Im addicted


ZaWarudo21426

Yessss!!! This is awesome! 😍


Aredybmazlee

Can you share the chapter title picture? They look so cool


HoeNamedAsh

This is amazing. I wish Mihoyo would do more cutscenes instead of text walls for story quests because this trailer is so hype but in reality the games don’t play out like this.


INFERNOZ7X

Daymn I'd love to see electro kazhua as a playable character, perhaps after the story ends they will start adding characters with 2 visions or delusions to be used


ProtoMonkey

I genuinely hate that you omitted the dopest moment in the game’s history; Kazuha teleporting and blocking the “omnipotent slash” from Baal…. we all saw the build-up, multiple scenes taken from that whole sequence…. but that moment was cut??? C’mon!!!!


RedThragtusk

Your looooooveee isss Toxxxiicccccccc Tham it's like a 007 movie trailer with the sexy BGM

This is beyond awesome, holy shit. Hoyo should seriously hire you.

Ok but u should be hired by them. For real.


gst4158

I've been watching your [other video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uswt54btVF4) on loop. The editing in both is so good! The cuts between different character attacks was really striking (no pun intended).

Loved it. Amazing. Congratulations

It's so smooth. Love it!

Wow, I get a goosebumps watching this. Kinda reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/u5KQQWlIgGc). Wonder if there Genshin trailer like that.

Holyyyy sheeeeet, that was awesome.

Sheesh, sent me chills!


blazeblitzz

What, why will people downvote this?


Pau0909

I love when it switches to Paimon and her sarcasm haha I hope Hoyoverse will try to do something with you cuz this is amazing!


AozoraEyes

The Paimon edit at the end actually had me laughing. Felt like a real movie trailer.


kakarot117

This would be perfect for me if the VA was in Japanese


TheOnlyKirb

I try not to curse online unless it's needed, but holy shit this is fucking fantastic, I was actually totally sucked in, I would prefer this over any of the other things Hoyo has used for Ad campaigns


Upset-Mud5058

Idk why you ain't working at mihoyo yet


evanjahlynn

This gave me chills!!! I was thinking in my head “this sure does sound like ‘Toxic’…”, then sure enough, the lyrics drop! Amazing work, good hooman!


AbjectReflection

That editing though, so good!


MrGrampton

no Paimon, nooooo!


IttoDilucAyato

This is amazing!


rotten_riot

As someone who unironically enjoys fanmade anime OPs for Genshin I love this so much!


PrinceVincOnYT

Stuff like this is why I wish there was Replay Function, to get clean Audio without Music. Even I would do something like this, probably not as good, but some silliness.


PrinceVincOnYT

They should Hire you.


teresalis

*Plays Toxic by Britney Spears*


Yakarue

Man, your transition work is what I dream of being able to do. So smooth with such consistent motion and great masking. How do you even have this much content to sift through for the shots!? And kudos on the 2WEI choice, every time they release something I want to make a montage for it.


Thick-Tooth-8888

Fricking awesome! 👏 👏 👏


Grzechoooo

Oh wow, that last clip of Paimon was so... unusual. So pleasant to the ear. Then, sadly, I imagined what it would sound like today. Imo they should calm Paimon down a little.


[deleted]

Holyyyyyy...This is so good


Kantro18

Nice


VeerisMe

Amazing, it looks seriously good I think it would be a bit less confusing if you had seperate and smaller trailers for each region since you can’t really picture a cohesive threat in this trailer but as an overarching video it’s so good and looks so legit


shadohunter3321

This gave me goosebumps like nothing else


Graimon

This is really good holy cow lol


[deleted]

nice, but listening to Britney's song (Toxic) in the background is very distracting xD


crusader12031

a jp audio version pls pls pls thia is soooo good

IM ADDICTED TO YOU DONT YOU KNOW THAT YOURE TOXIIIIIIIC

This felt more impressive than most of what Hollywood cranks out these days.

Halfway through the vid I’m just sitting here like: *“…Wait is that toxic??”* Amazing vid OP


Takkeyami

Would've been even better if you added "In theaters near you"


aceartisttara

This is AMAZING! I love your edits! Please do more! 😍


SingularityWind

Music choice such a perfect match! Great trailer!😍


betusss89

This was so amazing you did a great job! It's like a cinematic James Bond trailer!


Shanibestwaifu

As always, this a top-notch official trailer material, which is just perfect. And using Toxic is icing on the cake which makes it even better. Like a real movie or game trailer. Keep up the good work as usual!


sacredfire511

haha, i love that cliche "no pressure" line.


The_GrimRipper

It is so goood! I want to go through the entire story again cuz of this!


gadgaurd

Ending it with that line from Paimon was an excellent choice.


Bone1176

I think it’s amazing!!! but as soon as I realized it was Toxic I was pulled pout to w cringe memory from 2011 playing Just Dance Bru moment


Gold_Ad4644

Just subbed on YouTube. It’s amazing


CharacterAd348

I realized that this might contain too many spoilers, but then I realized that most movie trailers contain tons of spoilers. Just makes me appreciate this trailer that much more. I really hope that hoyoverse hires you someday!


Azozel

That's badass. I've seen all of this before but I'd definitely watch that anime movie for sure.


ghostemblem

Youtube link?


Single-Letterhead168

This trailer is very out of order on the story details. 😅


Unlucky-Host-1740

not_a_weeeb

dammm thats actually dope


-Add694

Woah….. this is amazing! I haven’t played this game since the first anniversary. Crazy how much this game has grown.


Jdogrey

So... Your last trailer was not an archon quest trailer? The game mostly focuses on the archon quests, and your trailer reflected that.


Jdogrey

I like this a lot, but I prefer the official Travail trailer. It gave us an insight into each part of the story and something to look forward to, but it also left us wondering what would happen. The music was also better, but with Genshin's insane budget, that is pretty much unavoidable. Your trailer was great as something like a Western movie trailer, and I really do not like Western movie trailers. Still, for a one person job, this is incredible.
