Trailer & Motion Design – Deep Sea Solitaire
At Big Fish Games, our team crafted new App Store trailers to test market and player interest. I had the opportunity to design the trailer for Deep Sea Solitaire, an ocean-themed adventure solitaire game. In the process, I helped the game team explore new ideas for in-game transitions, incorporating water-based lens effects, splashes, and fish wipe transitions to enhance the immersive experience.

The App Store trailer was the first video I “tackled” for Deep Sea Solitaire, aiming to reel in excitement from its underwater world and gameplay animations. Capturing the gameplay directly for marketing wasn’t straightforward, so I recreated key sequences to highlight the thrill and immersive features of the game.

The assignment was to bring Deep Sea Solitaire to life, so we dove right in, highlighting the most engaging aspects of the gameplay: creative card animations, explosive effects, and playful underwater elements. My mission was clear—make the game as exciting and immersive as possible!
