Sheryl Clark Productions LOVES working with authors...
I very much enjoy working with authors bringing their books to life with trailers or mini-movies as well as cover art design. One of the things that helps me the most is reading the entire book. I know some trailer makers just read the synopsis, but for me reading the entire book gives me the best sense of the mood and characters of the book.
I like to have personal connection with the author and have them be part of my creative process. Everyone interprets books differently, so I feel best when I get to work closely with the author to make sure that I have understood what they intended the book to be. We also talk in detail about what the author wants to portray in the trailer...what elements the author doesn't want revealed...which elements or characters the author wants to highlight.
This is just a taste of the experience I provide with working with authors whether it be the cover art design or their trailer.

Want a Unique Book Cover....I Gotta Ya Covered
One of the benefits of being a photographer myself is that I can shoot the cover image.
The unique thing about what I do is that I use a special type of screen and projector...NOT a green screen...much higher technology than green screen. It's called Virtual Backgrounds. It allows me to place a model in front of any scene possible WITHOUT having to extract the person as in green screen. It makes a much cleaner and realistic image for your cover.
Say... you want a girl looking at the ocean, but don't have the budget to get to the ocean...I can use an image of the ocean and photograph the girl as though she was at the ocean. Pretty neat, huh??
Of course, I am always willing to travel to the ocean to take the picture....hahaha.
Contact me and we can chat about all the possibilities available for your book cover.
