Trailer Uploaded for "The Theory of Everything"

I've finally uploaded the trailer for my latest book, The Theory of Everything. Creating trailers is one of my "mostest favoritest" things to do. I love visually creating the scenario of a book. Finding pictures for the characters is especially fun. My goal is to make the viewer want to know the ending of the book.

For you "techies" here's what I did. After the pictures were found and placed in PowerPoint, I started building on the visuals with words and special effects. Finally, I searched my husband's music creations to locate the perfect song for the trailer. The trailer for The Theory of Everthing was uploaded to http://www.authorstream.com/. After its upload I copied their html code and placed it in my website.

My first trailer--11:11 'Countdown to 2012'--was done a little differently. I created it in PowerPoint, but then sent the slides to a movie-making program to edit. After that, I uploaded the trailer to YouTube.

There are pros and cons of doing it either way. Using "authorstream" I lost my slide transitions but kept special effects. For YouTube, I moved the slides to a movie-making program where I was able to create slide transitions, but lost my special effects from PowerPoint. Of course, I'm a novice at doing this so I'm sure there are ways to keep both. Eventually, I'll figure them out. My lofty goal is to someday have a trailer that is an actual "short" movie with real characters acting the part. Wouldn't that be a kick!
