I picked up my book trailer draft again this week and by Jove, it's actually coming together! My new goal is to have it finished by June 10 for a Vividcon themed show. This time I think the deadline is really possible -- especially if any of you have ideas for where to look for clips to plug in the gaps. No book knowledge necessary in order to help.
Goals/constraints:
(1) I'm stitching together short clips from an array of science fiction sources -- or sources that could look like science fiction in the context of this vid -- to give an impression of the book universe. Shying away from immediately recognizable shots wherever possible; basically the opposite of Starships!.
(2) Anyone who can be seen in the vid needs to be dark-skinned.
(3) I'd like to avoid big-name stars unless they're shown from the back or in silhouette or something. I want people watching it to think "Mianaai" or "Seivarden" (or "character from the book," at least), not "Zoe Saldana" or "Idris Elba." But the vid isn't focusing on faces anyway.
From most to least important, I'm looking for scenes of:
( not really spoilery but cut just in case )
