How to Make Do-It-Yourself 3D Movies to Promote Your Book

I think this is the  coolest thing - a 3D movie where you can talk about your latest book, your author platform whatever that may be, announce a contest, promote your blog, you name it, but today I'm concentrating mainly on using it to promote your own book and the best part is it's FREE and EASY.  If I can do it, you can too!

Xtranormal, if you haven't already heard about it is a website where you can make your own 3D movie to promote your book.  My head is twirling thinking of all the things you can do with this.  Xtranormal offers a wide variety of characters, sets, and animations that you can easily add to any movie you create.  Cast your actors, write your script, and share your movie with your buddy/buddies and family.  And the best part is, you don't need a huge budget or a film crew.  Believe me, this thing is addicting.  I plan on using it for my next book which a couple of writers and I are working on right as we speak.

The coolest thing about this is that you can download right to YouTube.  I mean think of all the possibilities.  And another cool thing is you could have two of the characters in your upcoming book talk about the book's release.  Now is that cool or what?  Let's say you're a blogger and you don't have a book?  Have these animated characters talk about your blog, what they can find there and why we need to see it!

So since we're still in the editing stage of a revamped paranormal/comedy/romance/mystery (hopefully by the time it's ready we'll know which genre it needs to be in, lol) I made one for one of my older books, Romancing the Soul.  Now before you watch, Romancing the Soul is an anthology.  I wrote some of it, then gathered soul mate stories from everywhere I could find them, people were sending me soul mate stories and it was just a blast.  So I wanted to experiment with this to see how it works but I'll be visiting Xtranormal again real soon for upcoming books.

So here's my video!

 

If you decide to make one for yourself, add your link in the comment section so we all can see it!

  1. Hi I think this is amazing and have just made a clip for marketing my own book. But how do you get to do this for free? It has taken me to a page where I will be charged to publish?
