""Gage from Player One has been integral to our continued development of the Stellaris franchise with a steady stream of developing and implementing new ideas for our release trailers for both Synthetic Dawn, Apocalypse, Humanoids and Distant Stars. On top of that, they managed to capture impressive gameplay from the expansions in ways that makes the product really appealing to our customers. Combined with being very receptive to feedback, writing up good scripts, editing, and more, we've now got several successful and exciting release trailers for the Stellaris-franchise. Thumbs up from us!

“We’ve been working with Gage from Player One Trailers for several years with a lot of pleasure. Besides being an inspiring and friendly person, we realized a long time ago that Gage is able to capture our games in an awe-inspiring way. They have this artistic approach that’s crucial for your trailer to get noticed and the flexibility that’s required when working with several stakeholders. When taking on a project, he effectively becomes an extension of the team, no matter the time zone. Working with Gage continues to be a great experience, and he remains our first choice whenever we need high-quality video assets produced.”

“We initially felt reluctant about having someone external taking care of such an important thing such as our game's trailer. After all, who could convey the game's nature better than ourselves? Turns out, Gage could. He quickly understood our vision, greatly improved and polished it, and delivered an awesome launch trailer that not only perfectly reflected the game, but also excelled visually and technically."
