Book Trailer for The Usurper
This was my first attempt at making a book trailer. I watched a couple, but, this is uniquely my own.

Avatar – I saw this movie before
Just watched Avatar, and I'd really like my almost 3 hours back! Talk about over-rated. I saw an average science fiction movie laden with bright, powerful colors, Star Trek/Star Wars visuals, which was apparently to make up for the fact that the storyline for this movie was ripped from a bunch of different ones.

I enjoy proofreading and editing, and I thought that I should finally do something I'm passionate about, instead of trying to find another office job that I'll probably e...
