I see there is a tread over on the Operation E-book Drop forum that may also be of interest here - book trailers. Here's my trailer for The Legend of the Seahawk - I'm sure other authors here trailers to share. |

A while ago I created an experimental "Testimonial trailer" for my science fiction / space opera series: Spinward Fringe. It cost about $9.00 in music and image rights acquisition. The spoken audio is taken from radio reviews and clips fans sent in. The scrolling text are bits from reviews posted in public places, such as eBook retailers. |

archer - Select the YouTube button on the post menu, add the url you get from your YouTube account between the open and close brackets. Hope this makes sense. Sample -(remove the "G" before brackets) [Gyoutube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD3U_f7FHgU[/youtubeG]- |

Okay, I'll go back to my post and try it.
Ignore any minor explosions which result.

Adele: Thanks! (Even if one DOES have to put up with my singing...) Images were my own (except for thunderstorm effect), as was much of the sound track. Whispertrack is translation of original Alterran Elvish lyrics of the song. Wonderfully soothing, mellow music on yours, and also for Victory Cove. Well chosen for the subject matter--I really liked it. I thought Maria's was pretty cool (scary/steamy) too. Looks like fun!--Randolph's was nice and 'punchy'.  You guys are gonna corrupt me into filling up my Kindle forthwith... (...fiends!) |

Here's my first attempt at a book trailer, notable for the crudity of the equipment I used, if nothing else, namely: ipod nano Belkin microphone cheap (volunteer) narrator (with a cold) Canon A80 point and shoot camera. Upright bass (two tracks, overdubbed) Software: Audacity and Windows Movie Maker |

Thanks for starting this thread, Adele. I'm getting addicted to book trailers. As soon as I post mine for Ariana's Pride, I'm going to watch every single one. |

Adele, I love greyhounds. They are so sweet and my favorite.
Maureen, what deliciously eerie music. I don't think I'll be reading Victory Cove as my bedtime story.
Randolphe, that is totally cool, very professional.
Maria, excellent music. Another one I will be reading only in the daytime.
Archer, that is just ... WOW. Loved your singing and your music.
My computer timed out (slow little sonofagun) so I couldn't watch the last two. I'll get to them later.
Good work, everyone.

Margaret: Hmmm...a yummy romantic novel! Sounds like something I'd like.
I'm really glad you and Kristen liked my trailer!
I love the medieval images in yours. I have a book published in mid-1800s which is simply FULL of pictures like that--it's a history of the Renaissance Arts. Library was throwing it out, gilded leather binding and all!

It looks a little intense for my GS, but as soon as I get K for PC installed on his netbook, I'm going to try him on your series. He's turned into such an avid reader, it's hard for me to keep him supplied with books.  He's on Percy Jackson right now and he's lapping them up. I love the medieval images in yours.

Horrors!! And a library was throwing out this book? I am shocked and appalled. |

I know. And it had been sitting on a 'free books' table for days...no one else wanted it. Well, I LOVE it! We were meant to be together, I reckon. It's written in French, which I don't mind as I actually can read French, but the chapter on armor and weapons, the one on horsemanship, the one on textiles and tapestries, the one on manuscripts... ...all with copious hand-colored engravings? It's found a good home now, that's for sure! |

Question for everyone about trailers. When I posted mine on youtube, it only gave the option of choosing from three thumbnails to show in the listing. Of course, I wanted the cover shot. Any way to get to that thumbnail so I can select it?
