Hunger Games Motion Poster
Friday, October 28th, 2011A “motion poster” has been unveiled for Lionsgate’s adaptation of ‘The Hunger Games’, featuring the books’ iconic symbol (a golden mockingjay pin) set afire. This is a flash animation that has the shape of a movie poster, but the animation makes it something different. Is this a different type of book trailer? What do you think?
Be sure to have your sound turned on when you watch this.

Here, Alexx Henry talks about filiming a Motion Poster. He says the key to this type book trailer/motion poster is to start with a still shot, surprise the audience when it moves, then end with the same still shot.
