So you’ve been looking for a way to introduce people to your favorite post-apocalyptic modern-fantasy multi-author webfiction series, but just describing its genre leaves you short of breath. How are you going to get your friends excited for Children of the Wells without talking their ears off and making their eyes glaze over, thus turning them into creepy Van Gogh zombies?
The answer is: show them our book series trailer! That’s right, we’ve created a special trailer that highlights important characters and ideas from Children of the Wells that newbies will want to know. Check it out now:
Did you enjoy? I certainly hope so. Making a book series trailer was something we had talked about doing for quite awhile, but as the main video producer on the team, I knew what I wanted to do for the trailer would take some time to pull together.
The biggest challenge was getting enough people to voice all the characters I wanted to include. For expediency’s sake, I wound up recording Jaysynn’s lines myself and recruited ladies from my family to record all of the female characters except for Calea, who was voiced by CotW editor Natasha Hayden. Bron was voiced by my senior pastor, Stuart Kruse, and the rest of the voice actors were recruited via freelance website fiverr.com. (Apologies to a few others who were either recast or whose recordings didn’t mix well with the others. You know who you are. Sorry!)
Thanks to these folks’ help, I like to think we put together a truly cinematic trailer to promote our little corner of the webfiction world. If you know anyone who enjoys post-apocalyptic stories, modern-fantasy, multi-author works, webfiction, or any combination thereof, show them our trailer and get them hooked!
Don't miss a single word of stories as they are published! You'll also receive first notice of special sales and behind-the-scenes information.
