DIY in B&W

Ever since I viewed a simple but compelling book trailer created by Michelle Proulx, I just had to make one for The Friendship of Mortals, the first novel of my Herbert West Trilogy.  After some brooding, listening to lots of royalty-free music snippets, wrestling with an old version of PowerPoint (discovered on an old computer), downloading Windows Movie Maker and figuring out where to put what — ta da!

It’s also on the book’s page at Smashwords.

  1. Love it! White text on black is so simple, yet when paired with the appropriate music it becomes so much more 🙂 I shared your trailer on Facebook — hopefully someone out there on the wide internet will see it and enjoy! Oh, and thanks for crediting me! I feel so famous 😀

    1. Thanks, Michelle. Also for inspiring me to do this. It’s actually pretty hard to find/make pictures that really represent situations or characters in a book, but the right combination of words and music can be effective. I wouldn’t have given that any thought if I hadn’t seen your trailer.
