Linger-ing effect

Maggie Stiefvater — author of the wonderful novel, Shiver — put together the most amazing book trailer for the next book in her Wolves of Mercy Falls series. She did the whole trailer herself — storyboarded, shot, and edited it, composed(!) and played the music, did all the artwork in the trailer itself (by hand!)…everything. And the end result is absolutely gorgeous.

Writer, artist, musician, filmmaker…it should be illegal to have that many talents.

Oh wow! That's a lot of talent. If I'm being completely honest, I am having a twinge of jealousy. But it's pretty motivating, too.

Kim: I share the envy, let me tell ya! It just seems mighty unfair that a single person should possess that many amazing skills. I mean, spread 'em around a little, let the rest of us poor schmoes have a talent or ten! :)

But you're right, it is motivating. I never would've thought in a million years I'd do a video or even want to try, but after having seen that, I'm now thinking about what it would take to give it a whirl. Just for the heck of it -- no WAY I'd be able to come up with something like that -- but it could be a gateway to a whole new way to gobble up my already limited time!
