That's the sort of provocative, eye-catching advertising that North American publishers seem to be missing.
The only time I see a book advertised on television is the occasional announcement that James Patterson & Co. plopped out another tome. With none of the visual drama and excitement the New Zealanders delivered.
Very cool! Thank you for sharing that. The amount of time and effort that must have gone into that staggers me. Just imagining the their excitement as it came together has me excited in turn.
Wow. Whoever came up with that is brilliant. I didn't have time to read all the comments, but I don't think you're supposed to be able to understand what he is saying. I love the format. Brilliant, plain and simple.
That was incredible! Although I had difficulty understanding what was being said, I was thrilled and wanted to read the book. Thank you so much for posting it. ~ Yaya Yaya's Changing World
Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
Wow! Totally amazing. And yeah I know thats a cliche response but I was blown away. Best book trailer EVER! Indigo

ReplyDeleteTerrific! Way to go New Zealand Book Council.
Thanks for sharing.
Janet,
ReplyDeleteI did as you told me... and I'm glad I did. I feel just like that every time I open up a new [or old] book!
Thanks for sharing!
Have mercy! This is amazing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was fun. Excuse me while I get greedy and go back for more.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! Somebody should make something like it in English. ;)
ReplyDeleteI want to see "The Making of the GOING WEST book trailer" when it's up. Now that was two minutes well-spent.
ReplyDeleteYow! That's a beautiful piece of design work. I particularly liked the last 3 seconds.
ReplyDeleteWow. How'd they DO that? It felt almost like a theme park ride.
ReplyDelete(Wish I didn't have to listen so hard because I'm not too familiar with the NZ accent.)
Was I supposed to understand what he was saying? I didn't.
ReplyDeleteVisually stunning, but he read too fast and the music was too loud.
I love this. I have to get some books down from the shelf, show it to them and see if they can do it too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. So sorry for those who couldn't understand the words. The combination of words, sounds, animation was thrilling.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! Thank you for sharing what should be an award-winning book trailer/promo.
ReplyDeleteI sort of like it a lot, but the book mutilation makes physically impossible for me to enjoy it.
ReplyDeletegreat bit of animation... hope they butchered a crappy book! ;) lol
ReplyDeleteWow!- very awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's fabulous! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteAnother wee gem. Thanks for this Janet

ReplyDeleteHoly shit! Those Kiwi's are, like, crazy good! I want them to do my book trailer!
ReplyDeleteThat was so COOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thank you for sharing that. The amount of time and effort that must have gone into that staggers me. Just imagining the their excitement as it came together has me excited in turn.
ReplyDeleteIf that was a real book - going west - I'd buy it. I'm intrigued. I've seen a few "book trailers" on U-tube and thought they were awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. It was great.

ReplyDeleteThat was just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteAmazing idea. The 'animation' had me hooked.
ReplyDeleteWould've been even better if I had gained the slightest idea of what the book was about.
That was incredible! Although I had difficulty understanding what was being said, I was thrilled and wanted to read the book. Thank you so much for posting it. ~ Yaya
