Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" discussion

This area is for video or audio productions (trailers, audio books, etc.)

Less a networking post, and more of a DYI blurb: For tech-savy folk, it can be "easy" to produce a video trailer by buying templates, royalty free sound, and royalty free motion graphics. You'll have to know how to assemble them.

I'm a big Adobe software junkie. So combing the envato marketplaces (http://market.envato.com/), Adobe After Effects movie templates can be purchased from Videohive, as well as music from Audiojungle, and images from GraphicRiver or Photodune. These can be easily assembled into a trailer.

Lords of Dyscrasia Video: This used a single AE template for a trailer; text and graphics switched out; royalty free music inserted. Cost for the pieces <$50, Cost for software and training is another story.

Spawn of Dyscrasia Video: This one is more of mix (not a AE template): video footage from VideoHive, blended with a "movie opener", more royalty free sound too.

My daughter and I used iMovie for a fun video trailer for Black River. The best part was digging out the old toys and figures that I had handed down to her.

Black River Trailer

Definitely limited in terms of what we could do production-wise but we had a blast.

I could totally see having a blast with either one of my daughters making that! Thanks for sharing the fun!
