I made a book trailer for my fantasy book Amantos. I really like stop-take animation and already used this technique for my book trailer to "The Mariner's Legacy" (currently only available in German, but I'm working on the translation). Instead of going through the length and creating real props and taking photos, I made the Amantos trailer completely on the computer using Photoshop. First I collected images from public domain sources to mash them up into different buildings, then I moved the buildings around by tiny increments and saved the images as jpegs. Finally, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to combine all the images into a one-minute long promo video. Oh, and I sat in my wardrobe to record myself narrating the summary. How long did it take, you ask? A couple of months working a couple of hours every day. It's maybe quite a bit of an effort for a book trailer, but I just love the creative process and feel immense pleasure to see the final outcome. Do you create book trailers? Let me know in the comments.
