Stay Tuned! Bryony Official Book Trailer Goes Live Today

In January, Stephen Tuplin, Bryony's director of video media, Dulcinea Hawksworth, Bryony's director of marketing, and I discussed the vision for the trailer.

In February Stephen presented his script, and we casted the roles. In April, a dozen of us met on a chilly night to film the trailer and music video at the P. Seth Magosky Museum of Victorian Life and Joliet History.

By June we had a silent, rough cut, which, if I timed the mp3 right, I could watch the trailer with sound.

Since then, our media focus group has been reviewing rough cuts of both the Bryony book trailer and Brony music video.

We discussed the elements we liked and did not like, what worked and what did not, the smoothing of cuts, the brightening of darks, the elimination of sections and room noise, and the adding of credits and specialized sounds, until we reached a version that satisfied everyone.

The day of the trailer's release is here. Enjoy!
