Voice-over is also an option for future trailers.<br /><br />This trailer was way low-budget and just as a "filler" thing for advertising. In the future, if I make more money with Cinders, I'll probably do more with future trailers. :)Michelle D.

I've really been enjoying all the trailers you put up - even if I don't comment. :) <br /><br />I didn't even think about doing a post about trailers...I should! I will! <br /><br />I wanted to do video, too, but at the time I had no options for that. I do now, though. There's a guy that just moved in whom I've made friends with and he happens to be a cinematographer. So for Thirds...yeah, probably video will be in that one. :)Michelle D.

As a sometime voice actor who happens to know a lot of others, my perspective on how easy voice talent is to round up on a moment's notice is probably skewed.C. N.

Since books are a written medium, I find I would rather read a screen than listen to a voice or watch a video that seems "off" or less than professional. It makes me wince.<br /><br />The Ghost Horse Hollow trailer I featured earlier had several kinds of video clips: what appeared to be stock footage of horses running, and home-made video of a woman in costume. I thought the stock footage worked well. The home video clips could have been integrated better if they had been shorter. But it's hard. I've done video and I know it's very hard.Tara Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095632631554776002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-50064071439663858052010-09-09T07:07:45.799-07:002010-09-09T07:07:45.799-07:00First, I never actually saw the trailer before pur...First, I never actually saw the trailer before purchasing and reading the book but, at least after the fact, I think the music, imagery, and pacing capture the soul of the book pretty nicely.<br /><br />It's harder to shoot truly quality video unless you already have the cameras and lighting, which are different than needed for still stuff. I'm not sure it would have been worth the investment of money or time in finding people to donate the equipment.<br /><br />On the other hand, it seems like a touch or two of voice over might have added a little extra oomph to draw in non-visual readers like myself.C.

I'm thinking she could have incorporated a little video, but the trailer is well done nonetheless.Samantha VĂ©ranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446488761214047647noreply@blogger.com
