Video Sunday: Rahm VS Vole

Along very much the same lines is yet another reason to live in Chicago.  In conjunction with his Order of Odd Fish art show, author James Kennedy is throwing a "Dome of Doom" dance party.  Here you can see him explain the rules.  All I care is that I love to pieces that Lordess Cockroach outfit.  Love it, I say!

To be entirely technical about it, there’s nothing in this book trailer for Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String by Bob Boyle that you yourself couldn’t do at home. The sole element that might be hard to do would be the sparkle that happens after the whitened teeth moment. Love the infomercial aspect to it, though. Don’t think I’ve seen that in a book trailer before. Can someone correct me?

Generally speaking I often feel that the books that translate the best to book trailers are graphic novels.  A comic is essentially a film put to paper anyway.  Mild animation fills in the gaps and voila!  Instant trailer.  This one’s a fun example of that.  It’s for Jane Yolen’s GN Foiled.  Check it.

And for today’s off-topic video, it took me a second to figure out what this was.  Once I did, I just couldn’t help but adore the filmmaking.
