Book Trailer for SOAP, SOAP, SOAP!
I've finally done it - I've created a book trailer for my first picture book as both illustrator AND author, SOAP, SOAP, SOAP ~ JABON, JABON, JABON! This is my first attempt so I'd love some feedback. Does the music work for you? How is the color? Does it make you want to rush out and buy the book!?
Speaking of which - SOAP will be officially released on September 25th and I am busy putting together promotions to get the word out! I'll have a Blog Book Tour, and am reaching out to librarians, reviewers, and bookstores. (Something new: I can send reviewers and book buyers an e-galley if you like!) I'm also thinking of other media like radio, tv, etc. Do you have any contacts you wouldn't mind sharing? Oh - and feel free to forward this link, link to the book trailer, and/or embed it in your own sites if you like. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer in getting the word out about my first picture book as both author and illustrator! Woohoo!

WOW...I've never seen a trailer for a book before. The animation is incredible. I tell people about you all the time.
It looks wonderful, e!!! It didn't look washed out to me.
Wowsa! This is the best picture book trailer I've seen! The music works perfectly and the visuals are great.
AW - thanks guys!
:)

I love that at the end you've gotten the school program link in. It is subtle but great.

Fantastic as always. Your work and innovation comes from the top drawer. Would love to host you on our blog...

This is wonderful. The music really captures the feeling of the story and art. My only thought is, are you revealing the ending? Since I haven't yet read it, I don't know, but you want this to be a teaser so folks will want to read the book to see what happens. Otherwise it's great.
Great job on the book trailer! It looks like a fun book. Best of luck!
Well done, Elizabeth! I am so glad you are a trailblazer. It inspires me to reach for new media and try new things. Keep it up! Plus the book looks great!
e, the book trailer is slick - teases at the story, but does not give enough away to substitute as "Cliff Notes".

Thanks guys!! I wanted to give a good feel for the book without giving away everything (I didn't). I'm so glad y'all like it!

It looks great, e!!! Great trailer!
Wonderful! I'm sold. I'm buying my copy as soon as it's released.
GREAT trailer! And you know I love the flute entrance later in the music! Love the music! Colors looked fine on my monitor. YAY!
I agree with everyone else, it's a great book trailer. And the music feels perfect. -- It does not seem washed out on my computer. -- As always, you've done an excellent job.
It looks great! The pictures are beautiful and I like the music.
Max (6) said it makes him want to read your story - he "would read it a lot".
Y'all are awesome, thanks! And Angela, you just made my day - this is for the younger set after all!

The trailer is awesome, just perfect. I have never seen your work before nor do I know you, it helps to have someone you don't know give you a thumbs up!
Good luck, I will watch for future updates!
The music ties it all together perfectly. Especially love the dotted path!
Your work is so awesome. I have told and showed some of your work to friends.
This is an absolutely FAB trailer! This is a wonderful book--congrats!
Elizabeth, I really like this idea of a trailer for a book! The music is wonderful however I have to tell you that the pages with words flip quickly. I'm a fast reader and at the beginning where you had more writing, I definitely didn't have time to read it all.
Much success to you...I have no doubt you will achieve it!
Loved the color - and the speed of this! Nice job...
Great trailer, e! I know I already left a comment on PBAA's list(or somewhere, can't remember) about it but just wanted to put my name in the hat for the free book as well! :0) The music can sometimes be tricky finding the feel for the story but you nailed it! Great work!!
I can't get the trailer to work on my school computer. Is there anything that I might be doing incorrectly. I would love to view it and I would love to win a signed book! Our students so enjoy the Tuesday coloring pages. So do I!!
What a wonderful idea to have a trailer for a book. I love the story concept and the illustrations are beautiful I know my great nephew would enjoy this book.
Thanks so much everybody!!
Lisa, You should also be able to see the video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDWiVxAFtXA . My only other guess would be that you're on an older computer?

what a great book, looks awesome. LOVE the music, very catchy.
Looking forward to the book release, it is wonderful to see such a refreshing book with for young children. I teach Prek and can see this in the classroom.
What a wonderful trailer! SOAP, SOAP, SOAP looks like good, clean fun. I know some kids who will enjoy this--not to mention their mom. Congratulation on the new book!
Great book trailer, and it looks like a great book!
I've heard so much about you from Kristi Valiant. Will you be at the Midsouth conference? Loved the trailer!
Thanks for all the great comments everybody!
Christi - I won't be at MidSouth, but Kristi is awesome.

I've seen a few book trailers that were just awful. YOURS is GREAT! And the duck goes Quack! at the end!

Elizabeth,
There's a lot of real action in the story. I like the color, it's bright and exciting. It's fun to hear the music playing as the video plays. I would buy it for myself and my grandson to enjoy ;-)Janet
