Event Horizon – The Book Promo

A week or so ago, I talked about doing a book promo for Event Horizon.

I have to admit, it was ambitious. It also reflected someone who needed to learn something about how they’re made. Now what I wrote was fine for when I was doing TV production back in college. But I had equipment and a staff to help.

We had cameras. Editing equipment. People.

I had a camera, editing software, and me, myself, and I to shoot it.

Okay. I’ve not Steven Spielberg.

So, I got online and did some studying.

Then I looked at what others had done.

Some were incredible to include CGI work that would have rivaled anything in Lord of the Rings or a Marvel movie.

Others were just some guy on camera, in a t-shirt who hadn’t shaved and with a cluttered background holding up his book and talking about it.

Both turned me off. One razzle-dazzled me. The other underwhelmed me.

So, I took a mid-approach. I created my video in of all things, PowerPoint. I recorded it and then ran it through MS Movie Maker. I took a less is more approach to produce this.

So, for your amusement, edification, delight, may if present to you Event Horizon, The Book Promo. Just click on the picture below.
