Trailer Making 101

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who came across a pretty awesome website. A website where you could post stories and get honest opinions from others. A place that was blanketed in her favorite color, orange.

As she started to rifle through the website, she noticed some people had these amazing videos, which were referred to as trailers, on the side of their stories.

Once she began watching them, she knew she had to make them.

At first, she struggled immensely. She was horrible at making them. The text was too small, the clips were too big, and she left the sound on when it shouldn't have been. With no one to turn to, she was close to giving up.

But didn't! And now four years later she's made close to 850 trailers. [(as of 4/8/2020): 969]

*drum roll*

Well, that's me!

For those of you who thought that opening was horribly tacky, it was. And, for those who liked it and giggled along, thank you for faking those feelings to save me from embarrassment.

Anywho, as said above, when I started making trailers, I had no one to ask for advice. I had to figure out everything on my own. It was tough to do, and I made some pretty laughable mistakes.

So now, I want to be able to help others make trailers.

Since the art of trailers leaves so so much room for creativeness (is that a word?), I would love to get other trailer maker's opinions on certain things. So if you're a trailer maker and would like to be a part of this just private message me {No it's no awkward}

If you have a problem, concern, or anything like that that you'd like me to answer, feel free to post it in the comments and I'll get right on top of it.

Trailer making isn't easy, but I'm going to try to help out the best I can!
