Trailer for 'The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire' by C.M. Mayo from ParsingPlace.com on Vimeo.
Working on the soundtrack for a video shot in Mexico City by Deborah Bonello... meanwhile, just had a fascinating conversation with Julia Sussner, specialist in narrative architecture, who made the trailer for my novel, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire (watch the 47 seconds here) (or click above). It's not yet an established genre. Anything goes. Herewith a few widely divergent examples:
For Sandra Gulland's historical novel, Mistress of the Sun
For Miranda July's short story collection, No One Belongs Here More Than You
For James Howard Kunstler's novel, World Made by Hand
For Stephanie Bennett Vogt's self-help book, Your Spacious Self
For Steven Hart's The Last Three Miles: Politics, Murder, and the Construction of America's First Superhighway
Note: You might want to mute the sound on this one.
For Penny Peirce's self-help book, Frequency
For Anat Baniel's self-help book, Move Into Life
I'd be interested to know about more unusual and/or especially good book trailer videos. Suggestions?
