SHAWN THOMAS

I produced, shot, directed, and gameplay captured for this behind-the-scenes series on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, 2024’s Game of the Year nominee. I also edited Episode 4 - Behind the Voices, and edited shorts that generated more than 8 million views.

In collaboration with Duncan Heaney, I shot, produced, and edited a series that provides a deep dive behind the creators of SQUARE ENIX games, their origins, and their inspirations that would ultimately bring their art to life.

Alongside Duncan again, we created a light hearted video to quickly catch you up to speed on why FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles is a must play game for any fan, regardless of familiarity with the series.

I ideated, directed, shot, and edited this conversational series for SQUARE ENIX. Taking inspiration from Variety’s Actors on Actors, Party Chat aims to highlight the creatives behind gaming’s most beloved stories. Over 6 millions views and counting across 8 episodes.

I’d attend events across the world to capture marketing activations, fan events, festivals, and live music performances. In addition to longform videos that would broad in Japan, I’d also provide event photos and short form videos.

To highlight one of the major changes to FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles, I traveled to London and shot with the main voice cast of the game, alongside the voice directors, to talk about bringing a JRPG classic to life.
