When Skyrim was finally released, we needed a television ad that showcased the game’s visuals and also featured our favorite quotes and review scores. Since I’d cut the original trailer on which the ad would be based, the task fell to me. It was a fun challenge to compress the trailer’s most memorable moments (both visual and musical) into a length less than 1/6th of the original—and find ways to cut around the bloodier violence of the full trailer. I’m quite happy with how it turned out.
