The last of this sequence of video trailers I’ve made recently, this trailer for The Murderer’s Tale by Margaret Frazer is also my favorite to date.

Of course it helps to have great material to work with. (Most authors would die to have a review quote like the one from Detectives in History that you see in the trailer.) But I feel like it came together very well. Let me know what you think.

For our next trailer in this series, here’s the book trailer I made for Margaret Frazer’s The Boy’s Tale.

This was my first effort with the full version of Animoto. It’s probably a little too long, but I felt it was important to credit the review quotes and Animoto’s text limit forced those credits onto separate frames.

Continuing this sequence of “video trailers recently produced by Justin”, I have a book trailer for The Outlaw’s Tale by Margaret Frazer. This one is a little crude, since I was basically test-bedding the Animoto platform as a tool for quickly generating these things. (I’m still using it occasionally, but unfortunately it proved to be too limited even after you paid for it.)

You may also want to check out the book trailer The Bishop’s Tale that I shared back in April if you haven’t seen it already. I also provided the voice of Sir Clement Sharpe for that one.

I’m very busy with about a half dozen different projects right now, so for the next few days I’m going to be shamelessly showcasing some video trailers I’ve produced over the past few months. Hopefully you’ll find them interesting and/or entertaining. If not, I’m planning to be back sooner rather than later.

Up first: A trailer for the Oh! Gnomes! video game. Awhile back I mentioned the game, which is produced for Groundling Games (a small indie game studio for which I have done some minor scripting in the past). It is available for both Android and the iPhone. I had nothing to do with the development of Oh! Gnomes! then and that remains true now, but I did put together this trailer for them.

This is a book trailer I produced for The Bishop’s Tale by Margaret Frazer. I also provide the (brief) voice of Sir Clement Sharpe near the top of the trailer.

Since I know most of the readers here are gamers, I’ll also recommend Frazer’s A Medieval Year in England: It provides a “day by day” insight into what medieval life was like. Lot of good inspiration to be found there for making your fantasy settings flavorful and distinctly “non-modern” without becoming overwhelmed in detail.
