Book Trailer & Video
Fifteen seconds that make a scrolling reader stop.
Written for the first two seconds of a scroll.
A trailer is not a film; it is an ad that has to survive a thumb moving at speed. We write for the first two seconds, cut vertical first because that is where the audience is, and give you a library of variations to test rather than one precious hero video.
Everything in the standard scope.
Listed so you can compare us line by line against anyone else you are considering.

The working process, stage by stage.
Find the hook
We read the book and pull the one line or image that makes a stranger stop scrolling. Everything is built around it.
Storyboard
You approve a shot-by-shot board and the script before any footage is licensed or animated.
Edit and score
The main cut is built, scored, and captioned, then trimmed into platform-specific versions.
Variants for testing
You receive three alternate opening hooks so your ad campaigns have something real to test.
About book trailer & video.
Do I need to appear on camera?
Not at all. Most trailers use licensed footage, typography, and animation. If you do want to appear, we will direct you through a phone-camera shoot that looks intentional.
How long should a trailer be?
Fifteen to thirty seconds for social; up to sixty for your website. Longer than that and completion rates fall off a cliff.
Can I use these in paid ads?
Yes — everything is licensed for paid use, which is exactly why we deliver multiple hooks.
