Total War: Shogun 2 - Trailer

Shogun 2 is the second chapter in the Marza Sega series, shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026. I worked on the trailer as colorist and composer, as part of an international team.

The grade is built around winter. Cold tones run through the scenes shot on location in Kyoto. Against that, the studio scenes: warriors seen only as silhouettes on black, with high contrast, heavy grain, and blues and reds pushed far beyond the rest of the film. The two looks are meant to clash.

The score uses traditional Japanese instruments and taiko rhythms, set inside the orchestration of a dramatic film. It moves in several parts, following the scenes of the trailer and building tension as it goes. I also created the sound effects for its different sections.
