I don't usually watch book trailers because most of them are just badly done, but this one for Barbara Sheridan's Falling Through Glass is quite impressive and looks very professional. However, once I learned the story behind the trailer, I was astounded:
- The book trailer was made by Barbara Sheridan's teenage daughter.
- The budget for the trailer was $0.00, and therefore, Barbara's daughter was severely limited in what she could use.
- All the images in the trailers are free stock photos or pictures Barbara's daughter took.
Take a look. It's fantastic. I wonder what Barbara's daughter can do with more contents.

Wow, that was great!
I wonder where she got the music. That really made it.

Definitely.
I'd love to hire Barbara's daughter to do my book trailer. (I'm not great w/ digital art, etc.)
