Heartless Book Trailer

The Jewel Book Trailer

The Compound & The Fallout Book Trailer

Creating this trailer but not giving to much away for the Library's website was a little harder that usual since these books are really intense & complex but here it is:

Shipwreck Island Series Book Trailer

This is the trailer I made once I had read the first 2 books in this series. Stay tuned for a trailer on Trapped (Book 3) in the next few days!

14 Book Trailer

It's been a little while since I posted a review! I was going to do a normal review for this book but decided it would make a fun trailer instead, check it out below:

Here's a little mini review/overview:
I'm not normally a SCI-FI reader, fantasy, dystopian, apocalyptic...yes but heavy SCI-FI not usually.

But this book surprised me. It starts out very mysterious. Nate is a normal young guy living in LA & he's looking for a new apartment. He is talking with a co-worker & the man mentions The Kavach Building, good neighborhood, right by the Hollywood sign, & super cheap rent! What could go wrong...

Weird things keep coming up in the building like glowing green 6 legged cockroaches, Nate only has black light in his studio, & there is an underground mine shaft just below the laundry room.

It isn't until some of the other tenants also start noticing oddities about the building that it becomes serious. They trace the building & it's "creator" back to Nikola Tesla & an apocalyptic cult called "The Family". But the mystery that started a hundred years ago is still going on & The Family is still set on destroying the world with the help of their Lord, a giant Squale.

Can Nate & his gang of mystery hunters save the world before it's too late?

Book Trailers

So yesterday was the class in Phoenix on creating book trailers. It was really fun! The instructor was a high school librarian from Texas named Naomi Bates & she was great. Knew all her stuff very well, told us everything we needed to know, was a reader, & love libraries as much as we all do!
This is a link to her website: http://www.nisdtx.org/Page/50241
She is also very active on twitter & facebook & has a blog (all the info is on the website)

So we learned how to use Animoto & Kizoa to create some great trailers with lots of pictures & effects.
Here are some that we worked on yesterday:
