    dude –

    awesome!!!!!! love it! the only question is — and it was going a bit fast so i cant really say but — is the chinese behind it GIBBERISH???? i don’t think it says anything!

    angelle–yes, it’s just a text effect. i do love the way it looks. but no, i don’t think actually translates.

  4. Posted April 21, 2009 at 11:49 pm | Permalink

    you should totally get somebody to do a real chinese translation and stick it under there. hee hee.

    Seriously, that is the best book trailer I’ve ever seen. I usually think they’re kinda cheesy, but that ROCKED. Like I needed to be more excited for your book:)

    THANK YOU EVERYONE!

    natalie, i admit, i took so long to have one made because i didn’t watch them much myself. but i think that madison did a FANTASTIC job. couldn’t be happier or more excited! =DD eeee!

    Very, very cool, Cindy. Looked and sounded EPIC!

  16. Posted April 22, 2009 at 9:15 am | Permalink

    Loved the trailer. Will you blog about the process? I’d love to hear all about it!!

  17. Posted April 22, 2009 at 11:04 am | Permalink

    Cindy, I agree with whoever said it earlier–that is the best trailer I’ve seen! Absolutely gorgeous. If I ever need a trailer made, I am going to go first to Madison.

    How exciting!!!!! I can’t imagine how you must feel.

  18. Posted April 22, 2009 at 11:05 am | Permalink

    Excellent! I liked the music, too – very Crouching Tiger.

    If you upload the MOV file to YouTube, you can embed the video directly in a page – very easy to do.

    That is a _gorgeous_ trailer. Gave me little chill bumps.

  30. Posted April 22, 2009 at 8:21 pm | Permalink

    Really nice trailer!

  31. Posted April 22, 2009 at 10:33 pm | Permalink

    I love it. I thought trailers a for movies and tv shows.
    But there’s a small flaw, the chinese words don’t seem right.

  32. Posted April 22, 2009 at 11:27 pm | Permalink

    It’s excellent. Great pacing. Very professional. I loved the transitions. I’m definitely not the target demographic but now even I want to read it!

  33. Posted April 23, 2009 at 6:24 am | Permalink

    Cindy, This gave me goosebumps!! This makes me want the movie version of your book!!!! Very, very well done. I love the chinese characters that morph into English. Fantastic touch!!!

    thanks for watching and commenting, my fellow aliens!

    pretty mom–you’ll have to be hired as translator when it’s made into film. ;*)

  40. Posted April 23, 2009 at 5:09 pm | Permalink

    This is so good! I was expecting the ending to say, “Coming to a theater near you.”

    Can’t wait to get my hands on your book!

    Cindy,
    The trailer is awesome!!! I’ve never really watched them before, but I was amazed! I can’t wait for my preordered book to come. :) I’ll see if I can get it to pull up through out school filters and show it to my 9th graders. Then they can all rush out and buy your book!!

    Take care,
    Krista

    I’m Natalie’s mom (Between Fact & Fiction) and I’ve been a blurker of your blog for some time now. I love your art work and your blog. I especially love the new look on your website.

    I just had to leave a comment telling you what a wonderful Book Trailer this is and now I’m even more excited to read your book this next week when it comes out.

  44. Posted April 23, 2009 at 10:18 pm | Permalink

    Fantastic trailer!!!
    I am so excited for the release of Silver Phoenix. I’ve been waiting for months!

  49. Posted April 24, 2009 at 7:58 am | Permalink

    That is easily the best trailer I’ve ever seen! I was saying just the other day that I didn’t think trailers worked because most aren’t professionally made – but this is just stunning. Now, how can those film producers possibly ignore this!

    Hey Cindy,

    I found your trailer through Alison Kent. Let me tell you, the trailer made me put the book on preorder. I wish you lots of success with your first release and can’t wait to read it!

    All the best,
    Dawn

  55. Posted April 25, 2009 at 9:28 pm | Permalink

    That is the hottest book trailer I have ever seen. Your book is going to be a bestseller.
    Go Cindy!!!

    Excellent quality, look and feel – one of the best I’ve seen. Would love to read a posting on the process – how much direction you had to give them, did you provide text or did they select it, music, ball park pricing etc. Very good. Well done.

  58. Posted April 26, 2009 at 2:03 pm | Permalink

    Oh wow!! Your trailer is amazing! I love M2’s trailers, and this is the best one yet imo :-) Very well done, Cindy!

  59. Posted April 26, 2009 at 2:27 pm | Permalink

    I just bought my copy of Silver Phoenix and blocked off tomorrow morning to read it. People in metrowest Boston, there are only 3 left in the Framingham Barnes and Nobel so get yours before they’re gone …

    Congrats!!! Why can’t I see the trailer??? I think the commies are censoring your trailer in China. Good Job!!!

    Mr. Cox would be so proud of you!!!

  62. Posted April 27, 2009 at 7:17 am | Permalink

    Cindy,
    In the metrowest burbs of Boston actually. It was so weird that the books were on the shelf but the computer said they weren’t out yet. Is the official release date 28th? But they sold it to me anyway – Yippy! On Chapter 2 and LOVING it!!!

  63. Posted April 27, 2009 at 7:50 am | Permalink

    Simply amazing. I’m definitely going to be scouting the shelves tomorrow at B&N. I’m really wanting to read it!!

  64. Posted April 27, 2009 at 12:02 pm | Permalink

    I just got chills with excitement for you! xoxo Queen Hedgie, Alicia
