Assignment: Bring Books Alive

One of our happy clients referred us to Scholastic when they were looking for a west coast brand production company to produce book trailers for several new titles. We loved this assignment and jumped in with creative approaches of expressing dramatic plots and interesting characters. We thrive creating original content, so these sizzling shorts were a delight for us on all fronts.

Book Trailer >

WARP SPEED by Lisa Yee

Award-winning author Lisa Yee lives in South Pasadena, less than a mile from our studio. Her YA novel “Warp Speed” has a passionate following. This sizzling promo was targeted to Librarians and Educators. We edited several versions of this trailer and Scholastic was able to use it as Press and Promo across all platforms. We even composed the super cool original music. Amazing sound design too!

Result: Topped nine BEST SELLER lists for Best YA Fiction

GHOST BUDDY: Zero to Hero
by Lin Oliver & Henry Winkler

Lin Oliver’s Hollywood headquarters (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators) is the backdrop for this interview with co-writer fonzi-man Henry Winkler. We created a Special FX GHOST wearing actual period costumes that Henry voiced, and we composed spooky cool original music.

Result: Bestseller with a 90% Five Star Rating

Sizzling Promo >

THE SURGE by Roland Smith

Capturing the tension and suspense of this thriller by Portland author Roland Smith, the Masterof YA Adventure, required a trip to Oregon. Motion graphics, special effects, storm and animal footage and clever sound design make this a promo a thriller. Our video prompted the author to declare team Good Citizen will produce his videos from now on!
