After 3 months of production, we’ve finally launched the Book Trailer forCasi Mclean‘s emotionally uplifting novel, Wingless Butterfly!
The post production itself took place inFinal Cut Studio and a bit ofAfter Effects were also sprinkled into the mix, making the workflowfor Wingless Butterflyquite intricate. For voiceovers, I spent an entire afternoon over atDownstairs Studios with owner,Drew Gibadlo, and Casi capturing vocal quips to progress the trailer’s storyline. We had a pretty good time capturing madness on the mic, while facebooking, tweeting, and retweeting the tweets from… or… wait… what??
As you can imagine, this production was more fun behind the scenes than the trailer even begins to express. Janine, Trey, and the rest of the cast did a phenomenal job portraying a world of insecurities seen through the eyes of each character. There was a LOT that we cut out… but again, that goes back to my earlier blog on howmaking a book trailer is like placing a steak in front of a dog and expecting him not to eat it.
On a sidenote, no one was induced with true feelings of depression during the making of this production.Also, I DON’T beat my actors to get emotion out of them… let’s clear that rumor up right now. 😉
