Wanna do a trailer for Tryst? [Goofy] C'mon, take it as a challenge...
PJ Ask and ye shall receive! I had an interesting time trying to make this one, and I do so love challenges, hehe  I do admit this one had me stuck for a considerable amount of time ;P Hope you enjoy! The song is Antissa, by E.S. Posthumus, one of my favorite groups for making trailers. Tryst

Wow. I've never read the story, and the title wasn't appealing to me, so it was on my "to read" list but not in the firsts places.
Now, you really interested me to read it very soon. Thank You for showing me what a great story I was missing, it seems.
If I hadn't say it yet, I do now: I love that trailer, and the music is great.

Oh, that was amazing, how you strung those clips together to recreate the essence of the story in visual form. Wow. I couldn't have imagined this, so props to you for your creativity. Truly superb!

Oh, wow, Diane! I love you! This is sooo cool. *Great* choice of clips, and I loved the "ghosty" scenes... The guys in the forest with guns, with Lois in the car by herself, and then the bomb countdown... you're a genius. Oh, and I'm still laughing about "it's hard to give up the ghost... when she makes such a great partner"  Thank you, thank you! PJ

Yeah I want to read it too! This was very mysterious and dark and I can't for the life of me figure out if I've read it before. The title does sound familiar. I may have read it a long time ago, but this video made me want to read it again. Laura

Great job with this one! I couldn't fathom how anyone would make a video out of Tryst, but I should have known better.
You captured it perfectly!

WOW! I was blown away. I don't think I have read the story so watching the trailer was all new for me. It made me so sad! I love the music - great choice.
Off to watch it again.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!!!
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

I have a whole bunch of trailers to watch and leave fdk before this one--but I watched it anyway just 'cause I was curious. And ohhhhh, I fell in love. You make such awesome trailers! The music was perfect--it explored the story, with this theme of melancholy throughout. And the title cards were *great*--I must agree with Pam--love the line about "It's hard to give up the ghost". Well done!!!!!!!

I'm glad Anna bumped this to the top, because I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and wouldn't have read the story. Thanks for pointing me to the story, which I'm loving. Also, thanks for introducing me to E.S. Posthumus! I'm going to buy their CD.  --Jude
