Videos and Kickstarters
Nov. 17th, 2023 09:58 amI've been developing a skillset lately by learning more about video editing. It seems that TikTok is where all the book chatter is happening these days, and while I'm not there (yet), I've been producing content for Outland Entertainment that we do post over on our company's official TikTok channel. They've also been going live on Outland's Instagram. I'm embedding a couple of my favorites here.
The first was a post to promote our Negocios Inferales Kickstarter. The game, designed by Carlos Hernandez and C.S.E. Cooney, uses the "Deck of Destiny" as the primary way to resolve conflict and create storytelling within the game. I'd done a few "Motivation Monday" posts before this, but as Halloween was around the corner, I wanted to do something a little more exciting…
This second video, which just went up yesterday, is a stitched together walk through Yale University and Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, intended to promote our latest anthology, Haunted Hallways, which leans into the dark academia and ghost story genres. (It's live on Kickstarter now!)
I've been experimenting with a few different programs to edit videos, and CapCut was a pretty easy way to use my phone to just stitch together full clips that I made—but anything more complicated than that, I'm still doing from my computer. It's been a learning experience, and I know there's a lot more out there I can do! Of course, my primary priority is still working with words on the page, but it has been fun to learn about creating this type of content, and I hope it brings people to the awesome projects we're working on!
You can also check out my own Instagram page for unboxings of review books and other bookish posts!
