I used an online program called Animoto which<br />

has a small yearly licence fee. It’s a program that<br />

allows you to draw in images and audio files along<br />

with your choice of text and then it magically edits<br />

it together based on the tempo and length of the<br />

music. The music is original and was written by<br />

one of my staff, Aaron James<br />

Lee. Anyone can use Animoto<br />

and it is simple and fast to<br />

put together.<br />

I know that the video will help<br />

with the decision process<br />

of potential purchases. It not<br />

only highlights the content<br />

and authors but will engage<br />

purchasers in a way that text<br />

and images alone cannot.<br />

Leigh-Chantelle<br />

What Do Vegans Eat? book started out as a<br />

scrapbook-style presentation for a Brisbane vegan<br />

group. I wanted my presentation to be fun and<br />

visually appealing, yet still have the important<br />

educational aspects of a vegan health talk. I<br />

combined my love for fun, easy to comprehend<br />

education, with food and animal photographs and<br />

myself posing to create what I hope is an inspiring<br />

look at how easy being a vegan is nowadays.<br />

www.vivalavegan.net The video idea for What Do Vegans Eat? and My USA Adventures was simply like<br />

my other videos: DIY, friendly and colourful, with basic information.<br />

My USA Adventures is a book based on my travel adventures to 14 out of 50 states in the United States of<br />

America. Throughout June and July in 2010, and July and August in 2011, I take readers along on my travels<br />

with journal entry-style narration of my adventures.<br />

My video book trailers have worked well for sales and I would suggest everyone include a video for<br />

promotional purposes.<br />
