(PS Last night on YAchat there was some discussion of why people who write books make book trailers instead of leaving it to the professionals. Lack of money came up. Egomania didn't come up, but it probably should have. So should benighted stupidity or straight-up delusion. I'm sticking with "for fun" and "to make my kid happy." That's my story--and I'm sticking to it.)
Here is a trailer featuring a slew of 2010 debuts. This one is professionally done. It shows.
The other day a friend threw down a challenge to play. It hit while I was at the intersection of too much work and my hands hurt from typing. The only real reason I can think of for my book trailer is that it had some play value while little boy helped me work on it.
Here's a book that might help you get your play on...
That isn't professionally done? Seriously? What is, then? If the object is to make people want to read your book, I'd say yours is doing its job. Kudos to your son.
ReplyDeleteIs that heart real? Funny how very real skulls aren't as striking as possibly real hearts.
The heart is real, but it is from a deer. Molly, the girl holding it shot the deer. I knew she was going out and asked her if she'd give me a call when she had a heart.
ReplyDeleteShe was a little worried about her new manicure not that it would be messed up, but if it would be OK in the picture. I actually like the contrast of the green against the red.
Just lucked out in so many ways.
Wow, did you ever. How many young women (with or without manicures, though I thought it said something that a woman with manicured hands held this dripping heart) would go and cut out a heart for the sake of a book trailer photo? LOL Thought the trailer worked really well. Especially liked the heartbeats.
