Just curious:
A friend of mine, Jincy Willet, just used XtraNormal to home-make a trailer for her upcomming book by creating a scene using their online tools. Has anyone else seen this done? Are there other examples of people creating trailers without paying the big $$? No doubt, the cost includes the distribution channels, and hers is more of a lark than anything else, but still...

I'm an animator. As such as I know a bit on motion graphics, and I plan to make my own book trailer when I finish my project. However, this won't be very cheap. I'm planning on commissioning another artist to create the artwork, as my style of artsing doesn't match the feeling I want to convey. But we'll see. Maybe I can adapt?
I haven't seen a cheaply made trailer before, but I have seen trailers that seem cheap. Regardless, I'm a big fan of book trailers. I think they open up a whole new way of marketing and really utilize the web in ways a blog can't.
I have seen writers use xtranormal to create ways of advertising their books, but not book trailers. That's an interesting approach.
That is a good idea. I know a guy who is really into filming bizarre stuff, maybe he could do one for me.
oh god, that creeped me out.
I really like stop motion trailers, though
