Interactive Video From COS Productions

Speak No Evil Book Trailer

Allison Brennan's Web Site
Read an Excerpt
Order from Amazon

Greetings Everyone! Circle of Seven (COS) Productions has released an "interactive" video. Allison Brennan is one of my favorite authors and her new series starts releasing next Tuesday. Yea!

Quote from COS's MySpace Blog on the video.

"This is one of the first interactive book videos we've done. It's not just a challenge. It helps you to realize just how terrifying it would be to be a victim of this murderer. So often we read thrillers and our heart races as some sinister someone does dastardly things in the shadows. And this book is definitely something you want to read with the lights on. The video wants to put you inside the book, inside the character, inside the body of the victim for just over one minute. Can YOU do it? Can you hold your breath for the entire time the video plays?"

The author wanted something similar to what she had on her site for her last books, which gave us the unique challange of having ours look like that (since that was her request) but making them look unique as well.
That is where the idea came from to challange people to try and hold their breath.
We wanted people to realize how terrifying it is to not be able to breathe, so that it would put them in the story somehow.
We have had a fantastic response to the video, with many people telling us whether or not they could hold their breath during the entire video. lol

I really loved this trailer, it was very urgent in the holding of your breath making you really want to get the book and find out what was happening.

It is a great concept to get the urgentness through to the readers.

Far as the trailer went.... I failed the challange. I could ALMOST hold my breather the entire time.... So close, but so far away.
