Another day, another project where Thunder Cloud Studio has the honor to collaborate with 3DClouds - one of our long-term partners. The 3DClouds team brought us in to handle the CGI shot production for the official announcement trailer of Trident’s Tale, building on an already well-defined animatic and visual direction. The trailer leans into a vibrant, Disney-inspired style, so the challenge was less about reinventing and more about translating that into cinematic shots that still sit naturally alongside in-game footage.

We focused on delivering a full sequence of CGI shots from lookdev and layout through lighting, VFX, and final renders. The goal is making sure everything felt cohesive within the trailer’s pacing and edit structure. It was a tight, well-structured collaboration where both sides stayed aligned from start to finish.

If you’re curious how we approached this kind of hybrid trailer production, we’ve broken it down in detail here: https://thundercloud-studio.com/portfolio-items/trident-tale-game-trailer
