A few weeks ago, my good friend Lawrence Axe, who I've known for an embarrassingly long time and who works as a video editor and filmmaker, volunteered to cut together a trailer for the Black River books. On the one hand, I was excited at the prospect; anything Black River-related tends to get me excited, since not many projects are quite so much fun. But on the other, I was wary of doing something that might sell the series short; we had limited artwork available and not much (well, not any!) of a budget, so we couldn't exactly go out and hire a bunch of actors and costumers and set designers, awesome though that would have been.
Long story short: I shouldn't have worried so much, and Lawrence is pretty much a genius. Here's a look at what he cut together:
Cool, right? I honestly can't stop watching it. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now.
By the way ... if you happen to be an author in search of a book trailer, or anyone else who needs a video putting together, then I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Lawrence (otherwise known as Ody Films) is available for hire. If you'd like an introduction then drop me a note on my website contact page and I'll pass your details along.
