But if I did it I would either make friends with a film geek, or pay someone the big bucks to do it right! And that would be a few years down the road, assuming my sales velocity continues.

That's what I mean by professional. Honestly, how many writers have that kind of time or talent? I want to make a slide show, I'll submit a flash add to an ad network.

And OMG I SO agree with you about 99% of people should not be making book trailers. I saw an amazing book trailer while researching for this Monday's Indie Reader blog posts (which no surprise are about book trailers, with less of my crazy thrown in), and I found a great book trailer. I mention it here on today's blog: <a href="http://zoewinters.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/book-trailer-redux/" target="_blank">http://zoewinters.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/book-t...</a> If I could have something like THAT, I would do a book trailer. But I can't. Unless I paid big money. And I don't have that kind of budget right now. Basically I think book trailers are okay for people with MAJOR skillz or the big dogs with a big budget, and maybe I'll meet a film geek friend who is so geeked out by my work they want to make a book trailer... but... for most indies, it's just going to be fail.
