because, apparently, my life isn't too busy already...

I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should do a book trailer for the PSI series, going forward. Not that I have any idea how to actually do it... or time, or skills. But am still wondering. It would be such a nifty little concept....

Maybe I just need more coffee, and sanity will come back home?

EtA: Looking at my work and travel schedule, the answer is probably "are you out of your freaking mind, Gilman?" But I may follow up on some fans-for-hire ideas floated, if I can find a) a fan and b) one with the right skills.

Is this a do-it-yourself kind of trailer or something you'd be hiring out?

oooooooo. book trailers....

_{I used to not like them, but now I think they are spiffy!}

I suspect full DIY would = frustration and a higher per-hour than I can afford to pay myself. Which is why I haven't done anything prior. Also, I couldn't really think of a viable, visual hook for The Vineart War. But the PSI series, especially now that it's been extended to four books? That has a core that lends itself well to digital...

See above comment why I've avoided it until now.

I'll be doing one for book three in my series. Also, I know a lot of filmmakers (including an old buddy who won a film festival award at SDCC for his Lovecraft documentary. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1261900/)

But I don't have the chops to make one on my own.

I don't know if this will help at all, but when lisamantchev posted the trailer she made for her novel, I asked her how she did it and this is what she said. Might be useful. Her trailer is lovely.

*looks at schedule through October, laughs, slightly hysterically* If I had time to add the learning curve for a new skill... this is why I need to step away from the idea, methinks.
