I was able to create this 3D version of my cover over on Creative Indie. The black stripe is from cutting a logo out and isn’t visible in the modified book trailer.
Recently, I learned about Bunkrapp. It’s an easy-to-use presentation creation tool (say that ten times really fast.) It took me about 15-20 minutes to create what I’m about to share with you.
Before I do that …
The first presentation I created was for my children’s book titled, Dante. As I developed the presentation, it occurred to me that I also could use this tool to create a modified book trailer. It’s not as glitzy as some you might see, and I didn’t add music in the background (I’m not sure you can, but now that I think about it, I’m going to try that), but what I created does serve a similar purpose, and accomplishes my goal: To share the pertinent information about my book with my target audience.
Check it out and tell me what you think.
Another cool aspect of this, is how it looks on a mobile device. As you review it, you’ll notice that I included a link to an audio interview (I like that, a lot) and it’s not something that I could do in a traditional book trailer. And, there are actual buy links.
Overall, it was fun to create. So, the next time you need to put together a presentation, check out Bunkrapp. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with how much you can do with the app, how easy it is to use, and to share. My understanding is that it’s in BETA. Oh, and it’s free right now. I don’t know if it always will be. Good luck and happy creating!
