OUR PROCESS
BOOK TRAILERS & VIDEO EDITS
Last updated 03/09/2024
Step 1: Booking
You're ready to start creating and bringing your book to life. So exciting! You're probably here for some guidance on what to expect. Let's dive right in.
Once we've discussed a week that works for both of us, we require a 30% non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. We'll invoice you and once that's paid, we wait until it's time to start editing!
We highly advise reading our terms and conditions as it has some very important info if you need to change the date of your appointment. We want to be clear and communicate everything upfront, so please, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have ANY questions at all.
Step 2: FORM
The next step would be filling out our form. We will email you a link to this page and a form link.
We will ask for all the specs and important information we need to start with a rough edit of your book trailer with your specific needs. Don't fret if you're not sure about something. Just type NA and we will get in touch if any assistance is needed. You can also email me at gi***@ne****************.com
Step 3: Drafting
Depending on the complexity of the book trailer, I will either send a doc with ideas with some links to stock videos/images and/or music to confirm we're on the same page before beginning with the editing or we might brainstorm and pick ideas together.
This will be the direction we will head. We can change anything and everything you'd like on this stage! But please keep in mind that once video editing begins, it'll be harder to change course. So, this is a great time to do research and express your opinions, perspectives and what you want and don't want. 🙂
Step 4: Artwork
I will start working on backgrounds, textures, title effects, and visuals previously discussed.
I will send a short preview(s) for approval, we can make changes and tweaks still!
Changes and tweaks after this stage take longer as rendering video edits takes A LOT longer.
Small tweaks are totally fine (like changing a stock video, making titles a little longer, or trying a different transitions), but a change of artwork past this stage might incur a longer working time and an extra fee might apply depending on the complexity of the modification (like changing the entire concept, adding or removing 3d effects or changing all transitions when visual effects have already been added). So make sure to not hold back and let me know if there's anything that you're not sure about before we move on, pretty please!
Step 5: Polishing
I will put all the visuals together and add music and see if we get the right vibe from it. Music is KEY!
The preview video will be of a slightly lower quality to speed up our process.
The video might not be coordinated with the music YET.
Once the music is approved, I will move on to the next step!
Step 6: Touching up!
Once the music is approved, I will add sound effects, coordinate all visuals with all sound effects, and fix any small tweaks.
I will send the last version for final approval! We can fix small tweaks if necessary before moving on to our final files.
Step 7: FINAL FILES!
We've finally made it! You'll receive links to download your final files in an email.
Make sure to download them as soon as possible as sometimes links get broken and we have to re-upload them (if this ever happens, don't hesitate to get in touch so we can resend a link to your files).
If you need any extras, we'd love to see if we can accommodate you!
We should be ALL DONE with your book trailer and cannot wait to see what your readers think of it!
