Book Trailers

For my class we created different book trailers for a specific age group.  I decided to create book trailers for middle school age kids.  I used 2 different softwares to create the trailers: Animoto and iMovie.  The new iMovie software has the option to create trailers within it.  The free Animoto software only allows videos that are 30 seconds long, forcing much shorter trailers.
