Sarah Rees Brennan, author of The Demon's Lexicon and The Demon's Covenant, is holding a contest for The Demon's Covenant ARCs! (advanced reader copies) SO. There is a VIDEO category, and I think I'm definitely participating. The problem? Most of the book-trailer videos on the tubez at the moment are assembled-with-pretty-editing kind of videos? Like this and this. Those are the ones she recommended as samples. And then there's this (below), which is just pictures and text and music, but the overall effect is really striking and impressive. *is in awe*
wtf and THIS? this? I'm supposed to compete with this!
So anyway. I think I'm up against /fierce/ competition, since 1. I have never made a assembled-clip video 2. I've never made a pretty-picture video 3. I usually make... pathetic vlog videos.
hmm so the question is: Should I go with the flow and make a borrowed picture/clip video, or should I stick to what I know and do a me-in-front-of-camera thing? It would most likely be fancier than normal; no chaotic squeeing, however much I love The Demon's Lexicon xD And even though I might not win the ARC, it's book-promoting and video-editing experience under my belt. Most importantly, Sarah Rees Brennan definitely deserves some loving (wnkbr) because the book is great and in-depth YA fiction NEEDS attention.
I'm participating in the competition; BRING. IT. ON.

yes, i think you should just do what you know best, talkie-vlog-type videos because you have a voice and frankly, doing something familiar is a lot better than doing high-edited videos. *wishing you the best of luck*
