I am SO excited to share this trailer with you all!! First and foremost I’d love to thank the lovely Anastasia for not only being patient with me but also providing me with such great material! And boy did we have fun!

Second, if you go on Anastasia’ new and sparkly site you’ll see what the amazing Theo Black’s done. The cool thing for me is the character wallpapers that I shot and he designed! He kinda rocks my socks!
I hope you guys like it like we do! Here it is and make sure to visit Anastasia’ new site!

2010 Moby Awards – Book Trailer Award

Wednesday, April 28, 2010       •       0 Comments

Still

Hey you lovely readers! Sorry there hasn’t been much of an update on here as of late but I got a cool little announcement.

Mellville House Publishing is hosting awards for the world’s best and worst trailers. First off, that is awesome since us book trailer producers rarely get recognized like this. Second, you should all go nominate someone. Or me. :D
Here’s the categories:
  • Best Big Budget Book Trailer (big houses, or more than $500)
  • Best Low Budget Book Trailer (indie houses, or less than $500)
  • Best Cameo in a Book Trailer
  • Best Performance by an Author
  • and the “Least Likely to Sell the Book” Trailer
There’s trailers with Cameo’s? Authors perform? HEL-LO! Any authors want to do a dance for my next trailer, just holler!
I’d really appreciate it if you go nominate your favorite VLC Photo trailer (or anyone else’s) because we love doing these and hope to keep doing these and this is a great way to get recognized for our effort. Not that I have any chance against some of MY favorites that I’m nominating, but hey… we can try!
MUAH!!

I think I might make this a regular thing. Sort of like a meme. So you creative minds feel free to implement this and comment below with a link to your inspirational moment for the week below.

This week, my darling brother showed me this incredible video. Shot with a Canon 5D (a step down or up, I don’t know from my Canon 7D) and with a favorite lens of mine, an L glass. But needless to say this short story of sorts is not only beautifully shot, but the score and story behind it make this a favorite video piece of mine now.
Tell me what you think…

I cannot stress enough how much fun this project’s been. Heidi’s been incredibly sweet and patient with me and all the excitement has been well worth it!

After all the teasers on Twitter and all the cold, “rain” and kissing, I think we got us a sweet trailer!

Thank you to Heidi for letting me be a part of this and to my models, Keven and Heather who not only put up with a lot ;) but were soooo mcuh fun to work with and super hot! :D
You guys make my job amazing!

Enjoy!

Also: I have gotten quite some demand for me to interview the models so if you have any questions for these specific models leave a comment and I’ll be doing a vlog with them soon!

SEA Prints are now on sale at my ETSY SHOP.
