Really, not for book marketing necessarily. But educators are very interested in trailers and this will be a growth area this year. The voice over is myself, of course, and is one of the problems of a DIY book trailer: finding the right voice is difficult, time-consuming and can be costly. Too short? Not in my book. (ha!) I like trailers under a minute. Darcy Daniela:

Visuals: 4 - surprising images at times Text: 4 - not too much, not too little, love the url at the end Voice Over: 3 - love the whispering at the end, yet kept wondering for the length of the whole clip: why a lady (godmother for the hero and his sister)? Music: 4 - great tone and tempo SFX: 1 - none Original Concept: 3 - crisis, intent to overcome it,not unique Length and Pacing: 2 - too short. Daniela.
