Trailers: A New Approach

On Saturday, I threw out much of what I'd done with the trailer for my next book and, virtually, started from scratch. Now, rather than have one trailer that runs close to 2 minutes, I'm going to have 3 different related ones that are less than 1 minute each.
And, none of them will have a "voice over," just visuals, the written word on a scroll, music and sound effects.
I'm very pleased with this approach. However, except for a "tweak" here-or-there, there's not much more I can do with them until I have a book cover, which probably won't be for a few months.
I've posted 2 new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the Introduction section of this page. They are THE RESIDENT with Hilary Swank and Christopher Lee and THE PROWLER with Van Heflin and Evelyn Keyes. So. take a look.
Now, here's something I was sent:
A man asked an American Indian what was his wife's name. He replied, "She is called Five Horses".
The man said, "That's an unusual name for your wife. What does it mean?"
The Old Indian answered, "It old Indian Name, mythical and deep. It mean...
NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG!"
You have a creative day.
