D is for Dream Cast
Posted in:
The "Dream Cast" are the people, usually well known, that writers visualize, either as they write or when their book is finished. For me, they're more like the people I could see acting the roles in the book if it ever makes it to the screen. The original idea for a book trailer was to use a variety of actors, and then I came across a picture from the photoshoot done by E4PR, a management company, and it was fixed. They were happy to let me use their pictures, and you'll be seeing more in the course of this month, as I introduce the cast, and my characters individually.

I like this. Love visualization of things. Keep going strong :)
ReplyDeleteRather like the dream actor Tom Hanks who perfectly plays Dan Brown's Robert Langdon!

the choice of actors in this video is great. Love Desmond Elliot
ReplyDeleteYour novel sounds fascinating! Great trainer, Myne!
ReplyDeleteLove this.. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI like. U made a good choice of actors :)
ReplyDeleteHi Blog sis, I tried getting my copy of ALR but i couldn't find the ebook, is there any way u can be of help please? Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat Great picks. I love!
ReplyDeleteI hope it makes it to Nollywood. One can picture it already, as the video shows. Well done, Myne.
ReplyDeleteSuperb!

Excellent trailer!
ReplyDeleteThank you all,
ReplyDelete@Shorty, you can get the eBook either on Kindle or B&N Nook. More formats are available from Smashwords.com. Thanks.
It's so cool when you can see it all come to life! Great trailer ~ :)
ReplyDeleteI'm probably one of the few writers who doesn't visualize actors in the roles of her characters. If my novels became tv shows or movies, I'd probably just be excited ANYONE would be involved!
ReplyDeleteGreat trailer! I love casting my books as I create them...I always think, "Who do I see who looks like this character?" and try to find a picture so I have something concrete to visualize. It's a lot of fun!
ReplyDeletexoxo Sarah
it ewould make a lovely movie!..i hope jeta amata sees this *hint hint* :p
ReplyDeletevisualization gives more life or should I say form to characters....when you read a book, you have an imagination of the characters in your head..then when you see it in pictures, it kinda makes it more real...good stuff Myne :)
ReplyDeleteI love making book trailers. So satisfying.
ReplyDeleteOh, how great to have such a solid match for your characters. I think only about 20% of my characters ever find a good match, but that may be because I prefer to leave them just a little hazy so people's imaginations can fill in how THEY picture them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful choice of actors and images. You're one step closer to fame and fortune with this trailer.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a new follower from the A-Z challenge - - nice to meet you! :)
ReplyDeleteSecond Naijalines - I also hope it makes it to Nollywood.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if and when it does, please make sure you retain some creative control over the movie script/acting before they throw in - fake accents,
- cackling witches,
- a native doctor story line
- a lame ending....
- the ubiquitous 'To God be the Glory' at the end
- and a promise of 'Part 2 coming soon' LOL...
Seriously, guard your story line...
Myne, this looked like an actual trailer to me. You are definitely going higher. No doubts!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely. yeah, like a trailer! It's great you got these stars to collab :D
ReplyDeleteAdiya
I love to visualize too! I usually got hunting around on the Internet for pictures when I'm plotting a new book.
ReplyDeleteI love it when I find a pic that matches my characters :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all, it was really fulfilling working on the trailer.
ReplyDelete@Naijamum, LOL...that is so funny!
I saw this at Tessa's character interview post! :) Totally loved it. I always like to imagine what it would be like if my book was turned into a movie...usually I imagine my friends taking on the roles of my characters haha.

The song in your book trailer is beautiful. Really sets the mood of the novel. Good luck with the challenge!
ReplyDelete@TRA, that would be lovely, right. At the beginning too, it is my friends I see as I write.
ReplyDelete@Laura, thanks a lot!
I really love the trailer, Myne. Wow. It surpasses the one for "A Heart to Mend," showing you've grown in strength as well. Lovely, really lovely. And I see the great possibility of your Dream Cast actually acting in the "A Love Rekindled" movie.
ReplyDelete...ingenious idea for the word of the day.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success:)
