Today I’m talking about a book trailer I made for my upcoming novel Escape From Duda’El.
The design was inspired by an actual 1800s saloon I visited last April while on a road trip, as well as elements from the story itself.
Now some of you may be thinking, “Hey, TJ. Can I do that too? Can I make my own book trailer?” And my answer is, maybe…but that depends.
I hired an Upwork artist to sketch out the bones. Then I used seven different AI platforms to generate the elements in the trailer. I also used Photoshop for polishing, and a non-linear editor like Adobe Premier or DaVinci Resolve to assemble the timeline. Then I processed the video through two custom-made AI agents that I built for my own workflow. So, if you can do all that, then sure, you can do this too.
Now, to all the AI haters out there. This is your opportunity to tell me why this is evil and why I am so wrong for using AI. And back ‘atcha, I’ll tell you how much money I saved by producing it myself.
So, like it or hate it, here is my hot-off-the-press book trailer for my soon-to-be-released novel, Escape From Duda’El.
And of course, a post is not complete without saying, Go On and Write—We’ll Handle the Tech. —TJ
