David's Variety Hour Part 1

I've been trying to strengthen my various skills and find creative ways to utilize them.

I don't think it's working.

Nevertheless, I've been working on book trailers and advertisements, which are fun. They also force me to learn and improve.

Here's a trailer I made for Orpheus and the Pearl by Kim Paffenroth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JJuSG28Op8

Here's a trailer I made for Leftovers by Steve Vernon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gyxuMQ01fU

Here's something I made for the contributors of Winter Frights. (This isn't a real trailer. I just made it in the hopes that it would get some chuckles.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_tTjeLetOM

I also made something for Nick from Novello Publishers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNZHm5SjLA

Then there are experiments:

A Winter Frights experiment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CisXYsOZbw0

A promo experiment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVL79IXbR9Y

And a Peacekeepers experiment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOdtxV7XON8

I made a video for people who want to submit stories to the MagusZine. I've noticed most people don't read the guidelines. I receive a lot of submissions by people I don't think have ever read a book. This video may be a glimpse at the fucked-up near future of writing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5seG3MRyPM
