Frequently asked questions

Clear answers so authors know what to expect.

What if I don’t have footage?
That’s normal. Most authors don’t. I build your trailer using curated stock footage and visual storytelling that’s tailored to your hook, genre, and tone—then reinforce the message with on-screen text, pacing, and music.
Do you use AI?
No. I don’t use AI to generate your trailer or story beats. Storytelling needs intention—pacing, emotion, and clear messaging—so everything is edited and designed with a human-led process.
How do revisions work?
Each package includes 2 revision rounds. Revisions are for refining the story direction: tone, emphasis, pacing, text, and visuals—so the final result matches what you want readers to feel. If you decide you want a totally different concept after approving a direction, that’s treated as a new direction.
Can you match my cover style?
Yes. Share your cover (and any references you like) and tell me what you want the trailer to feel like—dark and cinematic, romantic and warm, epic and intense, etc. I’ll match the visual language so your brand feels consistent.
Do you provide voiceover?
Yes—voiceover can be included. Tell me the vibe (calm, intense, mysterious, etc.) and whether you already have a script or want help shaping the lines.
Not sure which package fits? Tell me your genre + goal and I’ll recommend the best option.
