This was almost spot on for how I put together my trailer for my second book:

Cool! Which tool did you end up using for the sountrack? Or was it an off-the-shelf track?

I actually use Pixabay for the sound so not sure if it's actually human or not. I had to do a bunch of editing to pull the clip together the way I wanted too. I think I'll try AI generated music next time just for fun.

Yeah both Udio and Suno are really impressive now, so if you have something specific in mind, you can usually get a decent track out of them with enough re-rolls!

Nice. I do like the idea of supporting human artists as well. Though right now I'm not sure if humans actually produced the content on Pixabay anymore or not!!

Makes sense, especially if your intent is to use the music for commercial purposes.

Dang! I watched another one of these yesterday - it was an Olympics track event running through Lego, so a fun concept, but the execution was positively amateurish compared to your skills. That last scene with the girl opening her eyes and then the title... very slick.

Thanks for the kind words, man. I'm honestly not particularly thrilled with the end result - I'd have liked the pacing to be tighter and some clips way shorter, the music to fit better, etc. But the point here was to showcase a proof-of-concept demo and rely exclusively on AI to create the assets. Although I did enjoy nerding out with the timing of the musical score and trimming/stitching the clips, especially the ending.

You got it! Let me know about your experience if you end up putting any of it to use.
