The Shifter Book Trailer

[1221bookworm]

I started working on trailers for the Healing Wars Trilogy by Janice Hardy.  I tried a slightly different style for these pictures.  Here is "The Shifter," I hope you like the direction that it is going.  I will post the others as soon as I make them.

I love, love, love this!! The music just adds so much to the visuals, and the hand theme is perfect!!

And interestingly, these are the English lyrics to "Anytime, Anywhere"

Roads have changed
Faces are different
It was my city
I do not know it anymore
Now I'm just a stranger without native land

I remember you were there
Any one emotion
Any true devotion
Anytime, anywhere

Houses have changed
Vocies have various
It was my city
I do not know it anymore
Now I'm just a stranger without native land

I remember you were there
Any one emotion
Any true devotion
Anytime, anywhere

Many years have passed
Lives have changed
It was my city
I do not know it anymore
And I'm just a stranger without native land

Kind of appropriate, huh? I can't wait for Blue FIre!

Thanks!! :) It was your idea to do the hands, so thanks for the advice.

Wow! the words do work well with how Nya feels about Geveg!! Well, at least she's got friends to help her through!

Wow. That was awesome!!!

At first I was wondering who you were going to cast as Nya, but I like that there weren't faces here. The hands especially were meaningful enough on their own. And I loved the writing. And the music. And... and everything!

Thank you!! :)

It can be so hard to find the "right" face, but the hands were an interesting way to go.... it made it more difficult about places, though ... I can find those pictures really easily, but now I had to represent them using hands ... It was a fun challenge.

I'm so glad you enjoyed!! :)

I was trying to think who I would cast as Nya or Danello, but I can't think of anyone...I think it's actually one of the things I love about the series - everyone is so incredibly...Normal. In QT and FT we hear about Irene or Soraya's beauty, or Helen's lack there of. Lots of times you read about how exceptionally tall or short a character is. But mostly in The Healing Wars, everyone is just average. Except, of course, for Vyand, whose hair is always perfect XD

Oh yes, and that's one of the things I love about Healing Wars. Everyone looks ordinary; it's not like other books where the author spends pages detailing characters down to the last freckle. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it gives us more freedom to imagine what characters looks like. =D

Lol, now I'm trying to think who would make a really good Vyand.
