When I set out to create the Wizard of Ends book trailer, I had a movie-like trailer in mind. After long, hard hours searching for the perfect stock footage to fit my idea, I happened across a short video clip… and inspiration struck. The end result is nothing at all like what I originally had in mind, but it gives me goose bumps, and I hope it does you too!

Great trailer Vanessa, I like how similar all the graphics look, and I especially like the magical beginning.

It’s a great tailer but there’s a wrong reference in it. You say “there are only two men…” and then you list two men and a woman (the king, the wizzard AND the sorceress). The connecting word AND implies that she is part of the two men you mentioned before. However, looking at the context, it seems she’s more their adversary. So you might want to use BUT or HOWEVER or some such to set her appart (like: the king and the wizzard, but the sorceress…)

Thank you for your comment. I’ve thought about what you said, and I still feel the reference is correct, because there are only two men – and a woman. It’s factually correct, and one can say ‘there are only two men who can save her, and a sorceress who would undo them all’, which is grammatically correct. All I’ve done is add info about the two men in between. Does that make sense?

sure but there’s no punctuation which makes the relation clear. I’m not insisting it’s wrong, it just made me stop and think twice, which is probably not the reaction you’d want your potential reader to have. However, I’m absolutely aware that your mileage may vary.

I didn’t feel punctuation would fit a trailer that well – we don’t often see it in movie trailers. You’re right; I wouldn’t want readers to focus on that, because that detracts from the trailer’s impact. Hopefully no one else will be jarred by it!
