Revenants is currently out of my hands as it’s edited and handed back to me for revisions. To keep me busy and less naggy about waiting for the edits, I’ve been making a book trailer.
Now, I don’t have anything resembling a budget. Just an iPod Touch, some cool video apps, a patient daughter, some editing skills, and access to Second Life 
I have no idea what a proper book trailer should be, so this is what I came up with.
Thank you to my wonderful daughter for putting the Goodwill duds back on and traipsing through the grungy alleys of Grand Island.
The music is just a mix I threw together from some audio loops in Sony Acid Pro. I used the 8mm app to film my daughter and the cut scenes from Second Life. And finally, I used a couple of Creative Commons licensed images I found online, and the cover art shot I made myself.
I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself Enjoy! Share! Spread the word of CherryPop!
I read these backwards. Good work on this! That cover worked well on video. I still think for print (or something resembling print) the first cover tweaked might jump out at you more, but probably best to trust your instincts.
