PROJECT DURATION - 2 DAYS (Jan 2024)

An unfinished draft for Team Regen's Invasion 2024 event trailer, scrapped due to fears involving new restrictions imposed by Nintendo, which involved tournaments potentially not being permitted to use 3D models ripped from their games in promotional material for commercial events. Potential implications involved legal troubles; the trailer had already began production at the time Nintendo issued their original public statement and the consensus on the restrictions were unclear.

This trailer was my first implementation of using Blender in conjunction with video editing software; I sought to establish a stylish atmosphere unlike all other Team Regen event trailers to bring forward a public perception of an enhanced production value for the event. Through utilising 3D animation and models combined with motion design, I believed I'd be able to present Super Smash Bros' characters in an artistic lens that would completely differentiate Invasion 2024 from any other gaming tournament.

Many motion design assets, from the gradients created to certain animations, were reused for the final version of the trailer that would go on to be published to at least partially salvage the stylistic design of this trailer.
