Album trailer-ing!!

Bon journo! I have posted several things on here about photography and album cover design, but nothing much about album trailer design... I intend to correct that short fall! haha

So, I don't really know if many people know about album trailers, but to give you the sum-up, it's basically a commercial for the album in anticipation of and upon its release. Album trailers have been playing on the music channels such as MTV, MTV2, VH1, FUSE, CMT, and GAC for years.

I have always had an interest in these but always felt that this sort of thing was out of reach for someone like me and I would never get the opportunity... Well, it just so happens that I ended up getting a job at the most awesome company ever that just so happens to have a record label. They didn't offer album trailers at first, but at the beginning of 2010, we were able to start designing these for our music artists.

I have done my research, watching tutorials, trailers from other record labels, etc. Along with help from my good friend Chris, I have been able to get into a pretty sweet groove and improving with each trailer I make!

I say that to say this: I have had the opportunity of a lifetime! I designed a trailer for a really awesome band out of California called Hands Like Glass! They are a great band with a great future ahead of them! I had a blast working on this trailer!
