Forbidden Sea Book Trailer
This week we have begun preproduction on the Forbidden Sea book trailer. I had no idea how much work goes into making one of these things! You'd think we were actually making a movie instead of just a trailer for the book itself. I've been madly gathering costumes for the cast. When you have as small a budget as I do--you have to get a little creative at times. For example: the girl who is playing Adrianne is perfect for the part, but doesn't want to cut her hair. (Not that I blame her, she's doing this for free as a favor to me.) So we have to figure out a way around it. In a trailer, sometimes faithfulness to the book takes back seat to what looks absolutely fantastic on the screen. And the mermaid! She's the hardest part of all. But it has been a lot of fun and everyone involved is excited about how it's all shaping up. I can't wait to get started filming!

OOOOOOH! I cant wait to see it!
cool im so exited!!!!!
I am so glad. It should be a fun adventure.
I didn't know they make trailers for books... that is amazing! Choosing costumes for the characters must be a challenge, especially since up 'til now you'd only imagined what they looked like. You said the girl that was perfect for the part didn't want to cut her hair... I wouldn't either if I were her. That's sad though, did you have to find somebody else? Also did you have an audition or something? How did you find these actors? I can't wait to see it... how long does it take to put together?
Shelia, You could have the actress either where a short hair wig or fold her hair so it looks short.
I am so excited to see it!!! If you need anything let me know.
