Taming Him (like those two guys with the cats. What are their names again?)

So, I'm sorry this wasn't up earlier. My internet was down all weekend, I only got it back last night, and I'm still playing catch-up. So this will be short and sweet.

I'm bringing us back to the video today. I just want to talk about what elements of the video I found appealing.

Now Michelle Pillow is a promo goddess, so I'm sure if she stops by she can tell us how book trailers work for her as effective promo. That would be great. But she also made the video, and I think it's pretty spiffy. See, goddess, right?

Anyway, here's Taming Him.

Visually, this worked for me. The black and white images, the simplicity of the images, the font, the way it scrolls across the screen at the beginning, and pops in and out throughout. The words are punchy, boom, boom, boom, and are simple, like the pictures. But the whole thing packs a punch because of one unifying factor here, IMHO, the music. The music is exotic, catchy, punchy. The images and words reflect that. I just think it's a great package that describes the anthology in simple terms. There's an assumption here that whoever is viewing this will be able to figure out it's steamy romance, and I think that's alright. Because the video makes that clear.

I like the length on this video, too. It's goes just past too short, you know what I mean? It grabs my attention, holds it, holds it, whew, okay, let go. And that's what I wanted. I almost need a cigarette. Okay, maybe I liked it too much. That's allowed on Trailer Park Tuesdays, right? Right?!
