Yes, we specialize exclusively in creating trailers for children’s picture books.

The unique nature of picture books relies heavily on visual elements, particularly illustrations of the characters, which are essential for animation. Since our trailers are designed to be vibrant and engaging, having high-quality images of the characters is crucial.

Other book formats, such as chapter books or novels, typically don’t provide the same level of visual content needed for animation. By focusing solely on children’s picture books, we ensure that our trailers capture the whimsical and colorful essence that appeals to young readers and their families.

Creating a Pixar-style animated book trailer is a multi-step process that combines creativity and technology to bring your story to life. Here’s how it works:

1. Character Animation: We start by taking the character images you provide and animating them to create dynamic movements and expressions. This involves using professional animation software to breathe life into your characters, making them relatable and engaging for the audience.

2. Scriptwriting: Our team crafts a compelling script that highlights the key elements of your story. This script serves as the backbone of the trailer, guiding the animation and ensuring that it effectively conveys the book’s themes, mood, and overall message.

3. Setting the Background: Once the characters and script are ready, we design the backgrounds that complement the story. These backgrounds are carefully chosen or created to match the tone of your book, enhancing the visual experience and immersing viewers in the world of your story.

4. Voice-Over Integration: If you’ve opted for our Voice-Over Add-On, we incorporate a suitable narration that aligns with the script. This voice-over adds an emotional layer to the trailer, capturing the attention of young audiences and drawing them into the narrative.

5. Combining Elements: Finally, we blend all these components—animated characters, script, backgrounds, and voice-over—into a seamless animated trailer. This process involves careful editing and synchronization to ensure that everything flows smoothly and engages viewers effectively.

By combining animation, storytelling, and audio elements, we create a vibrant, Pixar-style animated book trailer that captivates young readers and their families, encouraging them to explore your picture book further.

To create an engaging children’s picture book trailer, we need specific visual elements from you. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you’ll need to provide:

1. Character Images: We require clear images of the characters featured in your book. These images are essential for animation, as they allow us to bring your characters to life on screen. You can submit images of main characters, side characters, or any other relevant figures that play a role in your story.

2. Scene Images (Optional): If you’d like to include specific scenes from your book in the trailer, you can provide images that represent these moments. These could be backgrounds or key visuals that enhance the storytelling aspect of the trailer and give viewers a glimpse into the world you’ve created.

3. Image Format: It’s important to submit your character images in PNG format, which means the images should have a transparent background. This format allows for clean integration into the animated trailer, ensuring that the focus remains on your characters without any distracting backgrounds. PNG files work best because they maintain the quality and integrity of the images during the animation process.

4. Submission Guidelines: You can submit up to 20 images through the provided forms. Make sure the images are high-quality and accurately represent your characters and scenes. Clear and detailed images will lead to a more polished final trailer, as they give us the best resources to work with.

No problem at all! If you don’t have transparent background images of your characters, you can still submit the images you currently have. Our team will take care of converting these images into PNG format with transparent backgrounds.

However, please keep in mind that this process may take a bit more time than usual, as we need to ensure the images are properly edited to achieve a clean, professional look. This involves removing the background while preserving the quality and details of your characters, which is essential for effective animation.

Our standard package includes the landscape format for your book trailer. If you’d like additional formats, our Multi-Format Add-On provides Square (1:1) for Instagram posts and Portrait (9:16) for Reels and TikTok. This ensures your trailer is optimized for all major social media platforms.
