TWELFTH GRADE KILLS: the book trailer!!!

Some time ago, my Minions, your Auntie Heather hosted an incredibly successful contest in which Minions created their vision of their favorite scene from The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod (or some such thing – since that time, Auntie’s brain has melted into a pile of goo, so she may not be recalling all of the details exactly. mmmmm…brain goo…). You may recall that the winner of that contest was a fabulous Minion by the name of Shawn Duddridge. Check out his entry.

UNBELIEVABLY COOL, RIGHT?!?! In fact, I was so impressed by Shawn’s work that I decided to ask him if he’d be interested in some work for hire. So…I hired Shawn to create a book trailer for TWELFTH GRADE KILLS. And he did. And it’s amazing. And I LOVE it. And I’m going to debut it now.

BUT FIRST. (Man, don’t you hate it when I do that???) Shawn sent me a few fun facts about the trailer, and I just loved them, so I wanted to share these too.

- The trailer is approximately 2 minutes, and 23 seconds long.
- It has a cast of 13 people, and a crew of 2.
- It has approximately 10 visual effect shots (including eye replacements, sky replacements, glowing stuff, titles, etc.) out of a total of just over 50 shots.
- Many of the events taking place on December 31st in the book were actually filmed on December 31st.
- Vlad can be seen wearing Fang in one shot (though only the top of its head is visible)
- They spent about an hour preparing a shot that lasts about 1 second… and most of what we prepared isn’t even visible!

So now…without further ado…the official book trailer for The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: TWELFTH GRADE KILLS!

AHHHHHHHH!!!! So amazing! What do you think, Minions???

  2. Savannah says:

    I didn’t even finish the 5th book yet but my friend told me it leaves you hangin a bit…
    I dont know who i like more, Joss or Vlad= hehe :mrgreen:

  3. Madi says:

    You should write a sixth book like Savannah said and make it about him being in college! Okay, IDEA: Henry and Vlad go to diff schools now, Joss goes to Vlad’s school, Vlad has a hard time trying NOT to feed on new college students… :D . :twisted:

  4. cj says:

  7. Lylah says:

    …i really don’t think these people were meant for the parts… i hope that if your really thinking of making these books into movies, (which I, and everyone else would LOVE) i hope that you choose to use other actors and actresses.. thats not what i saw the characters looking like at ALL. so please…:/

  8. Savannah says:

    Lylah, i kinda agree, but their pretty good actors:)
    Oh and i just finished 12th grade kills… OMG best book you have made heather! Cant wait to read it from Joss’s point of veiw :mrgreen:

    Heather,
    I am a big fan of your books because they involve blod, blood, and more blood. I wonder, is it possible to make a Vladimir Tod book on College. Please tell me. I would love to see it.

    Heather, i am honestly hoping that you make another book and/or a movie. I have been a major minion since i read the first book. I have finished the series and when i read them they made me feel like i was actually there. Your stories are so very vivid and in great detail. I hope that all works out in the future of Vladimir Tod :twisted:
