No long update from me today. (Yet another sign of the Apocalypse? I think so!) Just wanted to share something with my favorite blog followers. (All of you!)
May I present the super-secret-sneak-preview of the trailer for my upcoming novelette, Blood Fugue:
What do you think? Now before you rip it apart, understand that I made this with my very own hands, eyes, and ears--so think of me as your five year old child, holding a very delicate, homemade craft in my wee hands. My eyes are begging for your approval, a tear is pooling just underneath the surface...
I'm just joshing! (About taking it easy on me ... I really did do the illustrations and music, though.) I'm a big boy, I can take the heat. And even if it isn't awesome, I had an absolute blast making it. Kind of another thing off my bucket list, you know?
Anyway, it isn't officially listed on YouTube just yet. That comes in a couple of days. I mostly wanted to share it with you all first. You've done so much to support this blog (and me!) over the years, and well, I kind of think of you as my besties. You know, my peeps. My homies. My sisters from another mister. My bro-bunch. My pack...
Oh yeah, did I mention a big freaking contest/blogfest I'm about to launch to celebrate the release of Blood Fugue? That's happening this week. Stay tuned!
Hope you're all doing impossibly great, and talk to you again very soon. :-D

I am not a trailer-lover. (take that anyway you want) But seriously, this was terrific.
ReplyDeleteThe blurb was perfect, the visuals transitioned well, and you hooked me right away with "A Two Dogs Production". Even my dogs came to see what all the barking was about.
Well done!
That is great! "Completely bad ass." Dig it!! Let me know when it's listed. I can post it Friday for you.
ReplyDeleteSweet ... you're a writer and an illustrator and a video-grapher (is that a word?) ... so talented!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a word now, Margo! :-) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteVery cool, but are you kind of giving away the ending? I love the music and the way it crescendos. Awesome. Did you draw all of that?
ReplyDeleteI did some thinking on it, and I believe it only really makes sense once you've read the story. :-) Yes, those are all my doodles.
DeleteIt's a great trailer, and I love the music! Pulls me right in!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liza!
DeleteYou did a good job!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great! Very well done, E. J. .
ReplyDeleteThanks LG!
DeleteVery cool! I loved the "completely bad ass" part too!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you illustrated too!!
I dabble in rawrings, yes. ;-)
DeleteI dig it! I like the illustrations. And that faux hawk, well, I think we know how I feel about that.
ReplyDeleteYes, the hair, it's all about the hair with that one. :-D Did you go see Neil Gaiman? I won't judge if you didn't... actually I will, please say you saw him? He was talking about it on Twitter today!
DeleteKudos! That was so BAD ASS. I really liked it and it was just the right length too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, EJ! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job, EJ! I love it. Giving you a round of applause here at my desk. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the upcoming contest and the big release!
"Bury the hatchet." AWESOME LAST LINE!!! I'm totally amazed that you did the illustrations and music for your trailer. Amazing stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love all the art, but am not so much a fan of the music.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't listen to the music because I'm at work, but I did watch the video and it looks awesome! Your art work is fantastic. It was like some cool anime movie. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cherie! I sketched all of the drawings with pencil and paper, then scanned them into the computer. Then I used a painting program to add color and polish. I'm pretty new to using the computer stuff, and did my best to make it look fancy. :-) Kind of an exciting new way for me to draw and create!
DeleteGreat work! I enjoyed the last line too. The music was fitting and you created a good tension-filled teaser!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! I won't quit my day job or anything, but good to hear I didn't screw it up too badly. :-D
DeleteImpressive! (And I disagree with Michael. I like the music. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat's more - the writing is BAD ASS, too.
Kudos, EJ. :)
...E.J you killed it! Well done, my friend ;) The music, the artwork, the cliffhanger, impressive.

EJ!!!!!! I Looooooved it!!!! It was WAY cool. Serious. No lies. All truth. And I don't mind being called part of your "pack" lol. The vid was really gripping--written and paced in a way that kept my attention the whole time. Really fun!
ReplyDeleteWell that rocked! I loved it, especially knowing you did the art work. I'll be honest and say I wasn't sure about the music to start with, but when the tempo picked up I thought it was perfect.
ReplyDeleteEJ!!! It is outstanding~ You are so TALENTED...I love your drawings and the music had a great pace and fit so well~ I loved it~ I'm glad I'm in your pack, so well done~ Bravo EJ... :D
ReplyDeleteI love the two dogs at the beginning, so dog gone sweet!
Looks good, EJ!
