How Long Can You Hold Your Breath? - | Circle of Seven Productions Blog MySpace de Book Trailers from COS Productions

This is one of the first interactive book videos we've done. It's not just a challenge. It helps you to realize just how terrifying it would be to be a victim of this murderer.
So often we read thrillers and our heart races as some sinister someone does dasterdly things in the shadows. And this book is definitely something you want to read with the lights on. The video wants to put you inside the book, inside the character, inside the body of the victim for just over one minute. Can YOU do it? Can you hold your breath for the entire time the video plays?

Interesting. The "interactivity" didn't immediately strike me (I didn't read through the whole of your blurb before playing the video, so... I forgot to play along at home, I guess).

(tries again)

I apparently can hold my breath that long, though I start getting a headache. ;)

Still, the ticking definitely draws you in.

I'm curious--how much of the imagery you use is "stock" and how much do you do yourself?

I couldn't hold my breath that long. I hate the feeling.

We use some stock footage, but we also pull from our network of production partners and have started sharing our own personal vault of stock footage and stills.

We've noticed a lot of author-made videos are using some of the same stock stills we were using, so we're putting together our own personal library to there won't be so much of that.

VERY nice. But you should diversify your collection of gun images... The Walther PPK knockoff in .22 just isn't that scary.
