Pretty good. I didn't see anything wrong with either of them. I make my own book trailers as well.There are so many good editing tools out there that i don't really see the need to hire someone else to do it. |

I think yours are both good. I also like the one below you with actual people. You should make a full length movie |

Do these things do any good? I ask because I consider them to be commercials and I don't go out of my way to watch commercials.

I did a few a couple years ago. Then I ran out of ideas. Here's the one that probably broke my brain: I have kind of a germ of a notion for one of my latest releases, but it's not a vid. It's a series of comic strips full of meta and custom crocheted figurines of each character, so I am not sure they're a good use of my limited time  |

I did my own with my iPhone 4 for the video recording, and Final Cut for the editing. I don't know how much it helps in terms of sales, but it was a lot of fun. All the best, Michael |

If anyone needs a 'voice of God' narrator, I'd be happy to loan them my son. I just did this trailer for one of my traditionally published books, an am inordinately proud of the voice talent. http://youtu.be/9GWBNqsvoNc |

Here's one I made for my first book. I haven't made any more (they take a LONG time to edit), but I like the results. |

I've just started - I decided to do animations for now, because it amused me and was something a little different. Here's the first: http://youtu.be/DzbT-cDIQmoI'm working on the second this weekend. :-) |

Adobe After Effects and about 40 grueling hours. LOL! |

Please enjoy the new trailer for The Gods in the Jungle. It's all my own work - including the maps! |

I don't have anything against book trailers. I think they are a promotional tool and measuring their effectiveness is nearly impossible. Bob uses youtube a lot to put clips from his TV appearances #Invalid YouTube Link# and to promote his teaching workshops #Invalid YouTube Link#.
A lot of these that you all posted are fun and I enjoyed watching them. I think its one of those things that if you enjoy doing them, and they don't cost a ton, then why not?

Charles, nice job. You did these yourself? It always amazes me the talent that's out there.
