I continue to enjoy making book trailers for folks. Book trailers may not be the most necessary things in the world, but I think they’re fun and effective if done the right way.
Here’s a trailer for Lynn Viehl‘s new series, Disenchanted & Co.:
Lynn wanted a tongue-in-cheek approach, and I think we hit the mark.
Here’s the trailer for Monster Night by P.B. Azeltine & M.E. Drewry:
I wanted to get a breathless, young feel to this while keeping a sense of drama or tension.
Both of these were a lot of fun to work on. What’s fascinating to me working on book trailers is the challenge of capturing the voice and feel of a work in an audio/visual format – which often requires some creative use of the text.
