Perturabo Trailer
A fan trailer in one speech: Perturabo, Warhammer’s master of sieges, reads his father the bill for every wall he broke and every son it cost.
The brief
Give one of the Emperor’s quietest sons a speech. Perturabo, the master of sieges, broke walls for a father who never thanked him. The trailer is that speech, in his voice: cold, exact and addressed to the Emperor.
How it was made
The script is one speech in Perturabo’s voice. Every line cites a page of the official books, and none is quoted.
Every shot started as a 21:9 still in Higgsfield Cinema Studio, redone round by round until it held up, and every shot in the cut was animated with Seedance 2.5. Higgsfield Seed Audio made the narration voice, cast from six auditions, and ElevenLabs made the score. The pipeline from the 40K trailer lined the shots up with the narration and built the DaVinci Resolve timeline, and I cut it by hand. One shared grade, built around the Iron Warriors’ raw steel and hazard yellow, ties the shots together.
