Book Video Makers

[COS Productions]

If you're a book video maker, what do you feel is your biggest challenge?

For me, it is matching up the music. I think the music is so very important to a video. I may go through a dozen or more before I find the one I think fits.

If you're a book video viewer, what really turns you off about a video?

What an interesting way to get people interested in reading! Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers

This may be a bassackwards answer to your question, but the tough thing to me, and the biggest peeve is trying to figure out how to make headway in contests (such as the Covey or P&E) against work that is total, complete dreck--jjust pans of a romance cover with cards popping up using goofy transitions--but wins anyway.

It's got me scratching my head, all right.
