Hello All,

I decided to try my hand at book trailers. i seems to be a growing method of marketing for authors now a days. I landed my first author, Lawrence Brown. He wrote a fun little children's book titled, " The Tale of Rufus's Red Shoes. He already has a following but he wanted to push the book further. So I built his 2d character into a 3D character and animated some of the scenes in the book. I modeled Rufus and the shoes in Carrara. The scenes are a combination of daz stuff and my modeling. The VFX was a combo of Carrara and After Affects. The score was composed and performed by Jimmie Parker.

    Nice work, I don't know much about kids but I'm guessing they'll like it.
