I Couldn't Help Myself...

Catherine J. Gardner mentioned making a trailer for a piece of flash fiction...so I took my favorite short-short ("The Ox-Cart Man", a 700 worder from Northern Haunts) and made this "trailer":

    WOW! That is far too cool and far too professional. I am in awe.

    Samantha - thanks...I've been a big computer nerd for too long

    Cate - thanks...years of wasting time with video and music mixing software, I'm afraid.

    Great job. the images worked really well with the darkness of the narrator's tone. Also, I believe the Ox Cart Man is in my 10 Favorite NH stories.

    I want to do one of those! But I can barely answer emails, let alone make pretty movies ; )

    Sooo awesome. Yet another reason why I wish I didn't sound like a 12year old when I talk.

    Oh, Natalie - you could easily master the art of the slide show.

    Carrie - the beauty of the 'net: no one has to ever know.

    K.C. - thanks. I like creepy.

    Very cool. Amazing we have more computing power at our fingertips than was used to put a man on the moon.

    Brendan - that is a very scary thought.
