Any game needs a trailer but Grummz has said that the trailer cinematic for Firefall cost 500k to make....which is crazy expensive, part of the cost was probably the VO work involved. So below is my idea on how the trailer for Ember could playout.
For starters it would be in the style of 90's anime, one of the strong influences that Ember has.
-----------------------------------------------
The scene opens with a view of E.M.8E.R. from space then slowly tilts upwards revealing H.O.M.E. hovering in high atmosphere.
The next scene fades in revealing a young man washing his face and staring at his reflection in a pensive manner [This is Kirii from the books]
Next scene sweeps in from the side showing the command deck of H.O.M.E. with plenty of high ranking official pouring over a large holo-map of the area of Ember showing several bio-dome shields as well as the Ark Liege looking over from her command chair.
Scene shifts over to a hanger were we see Kiri along with his crew Briga and Simms loading up there ship and frame with a mining loadout as well as plenty of interaction between them. Suddenly everything turns red and a unique sounding alarm blares throughout H.O.M.E.
Scene shifts back to high command were every one is in a frenzy on there screens. The large holo-map suddenly zooms in and raises a large label of "Invasion". it zooms even more revealing dozens of tsi-hu portals on it's display. The Ark-liege straitens her posture on her chair but gives commands in a calm manner.
Back at the hangar Kirri and his crew quickly dump all the mining equipment onto the hangar floor and take off as quickly as protocol will allow them.
The scene zooms out to reveal H.O.M.E. as well as dozens of blinking lights leaving her underside and headed in the direction of Em8er.
Shift back to Kirii loading up his frame, Dragon, with a variety of weapons along with a simple but effective boot up sequence.
Zoom out to show the numerous drops ships breaking through the atmosphere with fiery bellies.
Once they have broken through the hatch of Kiriis ship opens up and he hot drops onto the battlefield landing in a large cloud of smoke raised from his landing crater.
[at this point the trailers stops being animated and switches to in-game graphics]
As kirii exits his crater his is joined by numerous other frames as well as some of the military vehicles player will have access to during invasions.
What follows is a demonstration of lots of frame loadouts that showcases Em8ers freedom for customization as well as what players can expect during invasions.
As the trailer plays out the invasion is slowly pushed starting to be pushed back. Back at High command the generals and Lieges are starting to relax in their chairs as they can see portals disappearing on the holo-map. the camera zoom out from the Ark Lieges command chair backward onto the map when suddenly an even more urgent sounding alarm triggers, something is shown on the map and the Ark Liege stands from her chair in a clearly rattled stance.
Back on Em8er Kirii and the rest of the reapers and starting to relax when a big quake is felt by all on the surface. the camera that is facing them slowly zooms backwards from them to show a large shadow slowly creep over them. A gigantic roar is heard by all the reapers on the ground as they all turn to face this new threat.
Kirii snaps himself out of the fear induced by the roar and readies his frame into a combat stance which triggers the rest of the reapers to follow suit.
The camera switches to to a view behind the reaper lines revealing a massive being with large glowing eyes far in the distance.
