Sometimes a book trailer attempts to replicate the world of the movie trailer. Other times, they embrace television advertisements because that, essentially, is what they are. Now this ad for Basher books is far closer to the latter video form than the former, but you can’t mind that. For one thing, it uses a grizzled prospector. It is a proven fact that every video on the web can be improved by the presence of a grizzled 19th century prospector. It’s true! I tested that theory and everything.

I’d heard rumor of Evangeline Lilly’s potential children’s book but I hadn’t actually heard her . . .uh . . . recite from it before.
NO! No, Simon & Schuster. Now you just back away. You are NOT allowed to get near that material. No no! I know you wanna but it would just make you feel dirty. Take a step back. Very good. Now take another. We will have none of that on the children’s market. Be good. And thanks to bookshelves of doom for the link.
For the record, you are not allowed to publish this either:
Back to real authors now.
What a difference good film quality makes! This talk by Sue Stauffacher about her new Animal Rescue Team works as a video partly because the sound and film quality is good, partly because she’s so natural in front of the camera, and partly because you get a peek into her studio (which looks fantastic).
