This was a fun project. When I was in college there was a comedian that did mock movie trailer skits with a deep voice. My room mates would have fun with it.
I decided to do something similar for my audiobook trailer. I took excerpts of the audio from the audiobook and wrote the movie trailer narration around it. Then I filmed myself miming the audiobook narration first. When I added that in I copied the deep voice one too many times and I couldn’t help laughing.
So I put that into the video and filmed myself repeating the title 3 times in a row at the end, as if competing with the British accent. I filmed myself miming that one too in order to show that I was the one who did it, and because it didn’t take away but maybe added to the humor. I had fun editing it too. The footage was from B-roll I found.

The entire ball threatened with destruction

Dare Mr. Mosquito go to the rescue? Might he have a special talent that will make
him a hero?
