Comment by Cliff Ball on April 18, 2012 at 8:56pm This is the book trailer to my newest novel, Times of Trouble. This is not the alpha version, since it probably needs tweaked a lot

Comment by Dante Caligari on March 21, 2012 at 6:59am My first book trailer! Please tell me what you think!?
Comment by Linton Robinson on February 14, 2012 at 11:09am Regency rap?
Comment by Shawn Lamb on February 14, 2012 at 11:01am Yes, it's true, the author knows the book best. The first thing we do is select the music and board sequences to fit it and create the story. Music is perhaps the most important factor many people overlook.
I've seen great visual images depicting fantasy or heroic books but set to hard rock, head-banging music!
Comment by Linton Robinson on February 14, 2012 at 10:55am Exactly. Mass production is not always the way to win hearts and minds.
One reason I urge author-made videos is because the writer has a unique sense of the "feel" of the book and therefore the appropriate style and production value of the video.
Those sword epics you do are the toughest, I would say. It has to look really good. And I've seen some epic fails on trying to get all medieval.
Comment by Shawn Lamb on February 14, 2012 at 10:46am LOL. It was cute and made me laugh. I liked the pop top medal. And yes, the scratchy record effect gave it an old time feel.
Low quality doesn't necessarily equal 'bad'. I've seen book trailers the author claimed was made by pros that I stopped watching after a few seconds.
Comment by Linton Robinson on February 14, 2012 at 10:39am Wanna see a low quality one? :-)
I punched this out for a promo for the book. It's the sort of thing where sloppy doesn't matter that much, as you can probably tell from the content.
I especially like the scratchy record effect on the music.
Comment by Shawn Lamb on February 14, 2012 at 10:37am LOL My husband knows Flash. I'm just the director.
Comment by Linton Robinson on February 14, 2012 at 10:33am Ah, Flash. Nice. A bit high priced and learning-curved for most writers, but definitely high quality output.
Comment by Shawn Lamb on February 14, 2012 at 10:19am Thanks, Linton. We work with what programs we have - Photoshop and Flash, with Garage Band for the music.
