Best YouTube Book Trailers Part Two

StumbleUpon

Well, this is Part Two of The Best YouTube Book Trailers. It turns out that what I thought was going to be a cool idea for one of my very first posts – was actually one of the most difficult posts I could have chosen to put together. This was definitely a lot more work than I expected.


Make sure to check out PART ONE.


I just reeeally hope you guys havent already seen ALL of these. Because, well, damn.

Read on for more videos...

This is an in depth look at what goes into designing a book cover. Don't watch if you don't want to ruin the mystery! Who needs mystery when you can have BOOK COVER DESINGING INSIDE KNOWLEDGE?! The featured book is Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate) by Gail Carriger.



This one for Going West by Maurice Geedidn't make me want to read the book, but it DID really make me want a magic pop-up book:



Creeptastic trailer for the book Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue.



This next video reminded me of a wambam-balosion Michael-Bay-blosion version of Ponies!



I don't even know what to say about this one for Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke:

Rendezvous with Rama - Vancouver Film School (VFS) from Vancouver Film School on Vimeo.



Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card– Yeah.



I don't know why they thought they needed the “He was programmed from birth” line, but it's still an excellent trailer none the less.

For the gamers:

This Halo short was created combining real life actors with CGI. They did a damn good job of it, too. Makes me wish that Peter Jackson would make the movie, already.



And now: Zelda – Need I say more? Well, actually yes, I need say more because of all the ridiculous things that I find fascinating – Men in tights are at the top of the list. No, really. Mmmmmmmm. Especially if they're in green. I'm actually not kidding.



For the anime fans:

Technotise Live Action Trailer



Cage-fighting Pokemon. Can we say “I choose you!”?



Scott Pilgrim mash up with the Matrix, and it's as awesome as it sounds.



Can't forget the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 Motion Comic, which is all official and stuff. You can buy it on DVD or get it on Amazon Instant.



That's all for now!

Over the next week or so, I will be posting more videos and I'm compiling a Hunger Games and Harry Potter list now. If you have any suggestions, you can shoot me an email. I'm going for the best of the best!



Here's a sneak peek at what you have to look forward to with my FAVORITE Hunger Games video! It also might just be my favorite YouTube video ever.

That making the book cover one and the cut-up book one had me riveted. Seriously. And the Room one is, you said it, so creepy. I'd seen a couple of the other ones before. I freaking wish someone would just make the Ender's Game movie already. You know how I am about kids in space!
