book trailer - honor
Originally uploaded by maryj59
Seriously premature, I know - my sister's artwork, which you've already seen, and Kevin MacLeod's music. But I do think it comes together nicely. I did it because Jon suggested we include trailers with our excerpts or first chapters.

Intriguing trailer, Mary. Will you put it up on YouTube?

I'd like to, Jon, especially since I want to push the kids in film club to make book trailers, and this might be a very accessible example. They can usually surpass anything I do! But wouldn't that be a bit premature? I don't even have an agent yet!

What I'm thinking is that I will put it (or a new, improved version with credits) up on youtube as soon as I do get an agent and/or a book deal. In the meantime, there is no rush. But it was fun to do, so I appreciate your nudge!

Actually, I decided to upload a slightly improved version to youtube! I'll send you the link, Jon, if you're interested.

Please do. I was thinking that YouTube might get you hits from unexpected places, which in turn, might lead folks back to your website :)

Here's the youtube url, Jon! That was a good thought about leading watchers back to my blog - I added the url for that to the credits.

It looks much better on a bigger screen, don't you think?

What software did you use?

I used iMovie 6 HD - I'm a mac person. Yes, it does look pretty good! Oddly enough, I was able to full-screen it in Flickr. so the difference isn't very great, but it does look better on youtube.

I may play with the movie a little more when/if I get an agent and/or book deal, but this is it, for now!
