He wanted to film actual people, which is really unnecessary for a compelling trailer. It would be fantastic, but not worth all the trouble for the limited viewing one gets. I'm sure you can do it. It just takes a lot of trial and error and perseverance. Good luck.<br />Polly Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729656119287702191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-9081249414557493002015-06-18T05:19:29.977-06:002015-06-18T05:19:29.977-06:00A great trailer like this would arouse my interest...A great trailer like this would arouse my interest in a book I might otherwise pass up. It also makes me think I should investigate the possibility of doing a trailer or two myself -- even with my lack of any smattering of technological prowess. (I might even convince my composer son to create for me exactly the right music to make it compelling.) Well done, Polly -- both the trailer and this post.

I don’t like to have character images in my mind when I read, and I avoid visuals (and books with too much physical character description). Probably has something to do with being a kinesthetic learner. I have to be doing something to stay engaged—even if it’s only creating character images in my head while I read. <br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-85469317890428925172015-06-17T08:23:32.214-06:002015-06-17T08:23:32.214-06:00I made book trailers for my Craig Rice biography a...I made book trailers for my Craig Rice biography and for my Erle Stanley Gardner bio.
