First Trailer - Transgressions

[erastes]

Here you go!  Have to say, I'm a bit happy with it, yes, it's short, but I think trailers should be short. Oh - and it's very work safe, btw.

Enjoy! This is an upbeat one, I'm planning another one which will be much much darker. Bwahaha.

wah cannot see it at work :(

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Bah!

[lovemefearme.livejournal.com]

Will watch later but I really love the cover art.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They've done a really good job, I think.

:)

[lovemefearme.livejournal.com]

Yes, they have. I want the book *smiles innocently*

Cool...and liking the font! ;)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you - it's Requiem, although I have found this site today, with some authentic 17th century fonts - so I'll use that for the next one.

Excellent!

Thank 'ee! *still hugging you*

I can't see it at work, but will check it out when I get home. I just love Trans so much, can't wait to get my copy!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I hope you'll really like the edited, improved version. Of course you'll be getting a signed copy, so don't buy one! (unless it's a box full to give out to all your SCA chums)

[rwday.livejournal.com]

I've already preordered one from Amazon - I will give it as a gift, or keep it for a spare in case I wear one out. Seriously, I really loved that story.

I have to say I envy you now because there aren't many appropriate AoS pictures on that Mayhem site, and I'm still awaiting a reply on whether I can use the HMS ones. Maybe I'll do a second version with pictures I know are available, just in case.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, *mumbles* I just went ahead - I figured I'd apologise if anyone complained and seeing as how Frost Fair was only viewed about 400 times, it's hardly Global marketing.

[alex-beecroft.livejournal.com]

I must say, the thought of incorporating one or two shots from M&C or PotC is very very tempting!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I think someone is less likely to complain about that than using photos from private sites.

[alex-beecroft.livejournal.com]

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the movie out of the DVD and onto the computer in a file I can use, mind you. Is there some kind of special software for it?

In the mean time, I've done a completely above-board, all photos mine or paid for version, because Melissa asked me to send it to her, and I don't dare send her anything that isn't kosher :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's possible without specialist software or piracy would be a lot easier. Try seeking out the clip you want on Youtube, that's what I did.

I haven't heard from Melissa regarding a trailer - I wont be able to provide one if she does, really. *glum*

[alex-beecroft.livejournal.com]

Oh, good point! Youtube hadn't occurred to me. I've never tried dealing with actual moving pictures before.

I found some English Civil war photos on iStock.com but the Mayhem ones were much better - cheaper too :) The best stock ones I've found are on site:www.worldofstock.com English civil war stock images but they are way too expensive. istock has some, if you search under 'reenactment:history' but not many. It is so frustrating! Even the stuff we can't afford isn't really good enough.

Oh that is lovely...evocative and beautifully done...the editing is superb...love it...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wanted the army to appear immediately on the stronger section and didn't quite make it - but I'm learning! Movie Maker is a good little programme!

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

I ♥ Movie Maker. I use it whenever the urge to make another fanvid strikes me :)

Gorgeous! Requiem is one of my favorite fonts, and it looks beautiful in this. The only thing--and it may just be my computer/connection--is that the text, "A Country on the Brink of Civil War," goes by a little too fast (I felt rushed by it and then hurried myself through the next couple of text cards, until I realized I could take my time. That's a minor thing, though, and it's probably just me. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yes, I realised that too - I might alter it - thanks! I love Requiem - I found some lovely 17th century typeset fonts too, see above!

[mongrelheart.livejournal.com]

Very nice trailer! And I love the cover art.
