Directing 'big' blockbuster action set-pieces is not an easy job, and it's becoming increasingly committee-led, as opposed to creator led. Why is this bad for cinema? And what can be done to change it?

Just a quick note on the quality of the ninja fight video clips. This is from a New York Times video that is surprisingly low quality, so sadly this is the best I had to work with. In general you will see a lot of repeating footage due to the lack of promo materials to work with.

As a gamer, I have come to really love these CG trailers made by companies such as Blur Studios and Digic Pictures, that aim to give a sense of what the game would feel like to play. Often they are not representative of what is in a game, but instead what they do offer is the chance for some incredibly talented teams to create visual stories in amazing worlds.
Seen more as short films, they can be incredibly rich visual and audio experiences, that I wanted to celebrate with this video. I hope you enjoy it. It was also just really fun to edit.
Obviously there are going to be ones you like not represented here, and some that I use more than others. This is due to a mix of what worked in the edit, my personal preferences, and of course just not being able to fit everything into a relatively short time. Also, some trailers here will be for games you may consider ‘bad’, but their trailers are excellent. Finally, some are cinematics from the game, but released as trailers too, so they are included.
Let me know what I’ve missed, and who knows, maybe I will do another one.
