Puppy Separation Anxiety: Book Trailer
GOLD
A trailer to celebrate the release of experienced dog trainer Julie Naismith's helpful guide for those with dogs that experience separation anxiety. Supplied photography was split out into layers to give a sense of depth to the images as the camera moves. Tapocketa (now Mini-Tonic) suggested supplying quotes from happy clients by asking them to sum up their feelings in seven words or less.
Der Böse Mann (The Evil Man): Book Trailer
PLATINUM
The third and final trailer in the series which introduces the bird and falling feather imagery.
Tapocketa (now Mini-Tonic) created a series of three trailers for the German dark crime thriller ‘Der Böse Mann’ (The Evil Man). Each trailer in the series built on the imagery from the previous one, culminating in the trailer shown above. Each trailer was had a release timed to peak potential readers interest in the lead up to the book’s release.
It also meant that the author could take advantage of the quick turnaround time of the first trailer which, being a shorter simpler ‘teaser’ trailer, could be suitably cryptic and intriguing whilst giving little away for a naturally curious target audience while taking less time to create than the full final trailer installment. The first and second trailer in the series is shown at the end of this article.
Trevor from Tapocketa created a basic sketch which he discussed with the clients over a Zoom video session to describe the concept and get their feedback.
