We’re exited to share our Suddenly Rural girl book trailer. It teases the novel beautifully, and for those interested in these kinds of things here’s how we created it:
Write the script and plan the shots.
Feed detailed character descriptions into MidJourney, a text-to-image AI generator, which gave us awesome realistic images based on our characters and locations.
Feed the uprezed images into Runway Gen2, an image to video AI generator, which added the slight movement to what otherwise would have been still images.
Select and buy a licensed “epic” audio track from Pond5.com
Record the narration using Audacity . . . with my talented daughter, Kennedy doing the voice over.
Edit the animated stills and music together using Adobe Premiere and piece it together.
And now, FINALLY, you can order a copy of Suddenly Rural Girl in our SHOP!
