April Rickard—Be Your Own Spielberg
Tuesday, September 14, 2010, 7-9pm (dinner starts at 5:00)
Angelo’s Restaurant, 1830 130th Ave NE, Bellevue, 98005, 425.883.2777

DESCRIPTION:

Some authors pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for exciting mini-movies to attract readers. Those that don’t, generally tackle the project themselves, but for some, the idea of producing a book trailer can be daunting. You don’t have to be a professional movie producer to create a dynamic and enticing video. We’ll review the “rules” of online videos, learn how to tame the most common movie programs, how to budget and if it’s even worth the effort. You’ll also leave with a list of free or low cost options for stock photos and music, as well as distribution channels for your newly created trailers.
