Sample Book Trailer
A video can be used to good advantage in order to help to market books. This particular trailer was produced with iMovie for a book written by Phoebe Matthews and was her first trailer that included audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kWNfVAHpM
Since a trailer is a short video about the subject it is necessary to cram a lot of interest into a small space. Besides the technical aspects, there needs to be a fair amount of creativity in it's preparation.
Live Stage Shoot
Two videos taken at The Day Of The Accordion (DOTA) In Bellevue. The venue was inside the mall in a food court area. These were under very difficult conditions with lots of people and noise. The mic was on-camera because to run a mic cord would create a tripping hazard. But the performance was good:
