IV. Book Videos/Trailers

I'm offering free trailers to build my portfolio!
Hey Lisa,congrats on all of your hard work and what a great opportunity. So you make the book trailers yourself? And what kind of information do you need?
I am definitely interested in something like this as I just recently had my second book published last week and am looking to expand my promotion aspects.
This sounds like a cool idea; what would you need for such a project?Also, because I used to be a video geek, curiosity makes me ask: What kind of computer setup/software do you use for your work?
Yes, please. Pick me! You can do any of my books for your portfolio! How about this one? I don't have a trailer for it yet. http://www.amazon.com/Southern-Greed-...
Hi Justin! I do all the work myself, yes. I'd need lots of info about the book, or a copy to read myself. Then we could discuss what main points you'd like to get across in the trailer etc. I then do you lots of ideas for approval and we kind of work out the final piece together. You have full control from start to finish.Maybe you can send me some more info at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com and we can talk from there?
Many thanks, Lisa
Hi Kaine, maybe if you drop me an email at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com we can discuss everything there. I can explain how I work etc, also please note my response to Justin.I use a combination of software, including Vegos Pro 12 for rendering and Audacity for the audio edits.
Hope to hear from you! Lisa
Hi Peggy, thanks for responding. Can you email me at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com and we can talk?Hope to hear from you soon! Lisa

I've sent you an email with links to my books as well as my Pinterest boards where you'll see alot of visual content related to the books.
Hi Amanda, if you wouldn't mind reading the response I sent to Justin, it will give you some ideas. You can also email me direct at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com and we can take it from there. Many thanks, Lisa
Hey Lisa, I sent you an email regarding a book trailer and maybe some cover design work. No hurry on either though, as your thread seems to be filling up rather quickly.
Thank you everyone so far who has responded to my request! I'm going to hold the thread for now as I fear I may be inundated with responses and won't be able to work with you all and offer a quality service and trailers! Everyone who has emailed me so far, thank you and I look forward to working with you all over the next few weeks! I will respond to each individually. Some great variation on the books out there... very exciting! Thanks again, Lisa
Can you put in one more, pretty please with with new adobe cs programs on top? I'm brand new and need all the help I can get. If you can squeeze me in please let me know.Thanks!
Lisa, if you ever catch up with everyone who saw your request before I did (sigh), I'd love to work with you on a book trailer. Please post again when you have room for more!
Would we be able to see the links when they're done?
Lisa, do you do any kinetic typography videos? If you could let me know I'd be very interested and would be prepared to pay as I know it is time intensive
Hi Marc. Can you email me direct at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com so we can talk? This is something I'm very interested in! Many thanks, Lisa

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm now working on my third book trailer/video since making this original post. I've been lucky enough to receive paid work so I'm sure you'll appreciate me putting these projects first. I will endeavour to fulfil all my commitments to complete your trailers but am unable to give a time scale as obviously commissioned work takes priority.
If you are keen to have your trailer brought forward please let me know. Prices range from £35 - £100.
You can contact me direct at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com.
Kind regards to all, Lisa
Hi Lisa,Your work is incredible! Even though I think 50 Shades is, well, just awful, I couldn't take my eyes of the trailer you created. Nicely done!
I'd love for you to design a book trailer for my debut novel, Paradise Squandered, but I can see that I missed my window of opportunity.
I wanted to leave a comment for you anyway, though. You are very talented. Good luck on your future endeavors!
Thank you Alex, for you kind words! Haha, yes... Fifty Shades isn't to everyone's taste, but thanks so much for watching my video and for your lovely comment. Maybe we'll get to work together some time! Lisa :)
well, it seems like you are a bit busy now, but I would love one.Do you do it for free?
And what info do you need?
I seriously want this for more than one of my pieces (they aren't on here) please email me at bmbbooks@outlook.com.
Thanks ever so much!

Hi Lisa. Do you have the capability to do fantasy novel trailers? I understand that these may require additional skills. If you are able then I would be interested in a trailer.Scarlett

Hi Scarlett. Yes, I am able to work on all genres. Unfortunately your link didn't work for me due to maintenance. Could you send me an email address or message me at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com and we'll talk about your requirements. Many thanks, Lisa
I would also love one. Mine is a zombie horror that just went live last month. PM me if you're interested.
Hi Lisa,I would love to help you out. I would be interested in a book trailer if you still have time to do it. I don't want to swamp you or overwhelm you I see you have had a great response to this. If you still have time and are willing to take on another project let me know.
Thanks,
Thanks for all the comments! Just in case you missed the comment I posted a couple of weeks ago, I'm not currently taking on free trailers. I have been extremely lucky to be offered paid work, and obviously this takes priority. I am taking bookings so if a commissioned trailer is something you might be interested in, please do drop me a line at pixelpixiedesign@gmail.com for prices... and we'll discuss your requirements!

What an awesome trailer! If you are still offering, I'd love to take you up on it for my new Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance launching in April. I can send you an ARC. You can reach me at: lgoconnorbooks (at) gmail (dot) com.
Happy New Year,
LG
wow. nice stuff. you seem to have a good ple to choose from, but if you haven't found what scratches an itch creatively, I'd love to have a trailer for Theta Waves.Theda has the power to change the world--if she can just survive the Apocalypse.
Theda has a special gift. The trouble is, using that gift is the one thing in New Earth punishable by death. Alone and living on the streets, there are two things that get her through each day: tricking out her gift so she can eat, and blissing out on her drug of choice so she can forget her past.
It's the craving for a fix that gets her into the worst trouble when a rugged and charismatic bounty Hunter discovers her secret. Now she is on a new quest for survival-- one where the very man who hunts her down becomes the person she must trust in order to find safety.
Theta Waves episodes in order:
·Phoenix
·Dragon
·Agni
A novella of 20, 000 words with a good bit of steamy romance in a coming of age post apocalyptic world with some time travel, paranormal notions, and reincarnation concepts thrown in.
Would you consider a trailer for "The Murder House," my new release, the fifth book in a cozy-style mystery series featuring a Realtor/amateur sleuth? Here's the one little thing I put on facebook (gives you an idea about my sense of humor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFswH3....
