Dance With The Enemy by Linda Boulanger is available for the whole digital world to enjoy now, and soon to be on pages with ink for the rest of us. Want a peek? Enjoy the video book trailer by fellow writer and producer, Patrick Sipperly, from the Arizona Video Company...
This book trailer was created using several purchased images and other royalty-free elements, then edited together in Sony Vegas Pro and HitFilm 2 Ultimate. The 3d movement in the castle section was created from a single, 2d image within HitFilm. Many transitions from Digital Juice were also used to keep the visuals moving along to the pace of the music.
"Book Trailers can be a helpful element in a writer's marketing toolbox provided the trailer is short and engaging," Patrick says. He adds, "A trailer should tease the story, not tell it. It also needs to be marketed and shared just like the book.
You can make your own book trailer with free tools like Windows Movie Maker or invest in affordable audio and video editing products from companies like Sony and Apple. Want to hire it out? Sometimes it is best to focus on what you're great at and leave the visuals to others. Rachel Rossano and Patrick Sipperly are both Clever Fiction writers and Book Trailer creators. | |
