As some of you will know, I like playing with Lego. Given that I usually have more pressing things to do, it’s always nice to have an excuse to get the Lego out. With Please Release Me coming out on the 11th of September, I thought ‘I need a book trailer’. I can’t afford real actors, so here’s my book trailer in Lego.
I’m particularly pleased with the shot of Sally’s car accident. Playdoh may have been involved. Luckily I have kids, so there’s plenty of the stuff lying around in our house.
Incidentally, I wasn’t very keen on girl’s Lego when my daughters first started getting it. I find the idea that someone saw the need for Lego in ‘girly’ colours and themes a little patronising. I’ve got used to it now. Since no one is likely to buy the girls a Star Wars Lego set, I’ll just have to buy the Lego Stormtroopers myself.
If you want to see the trailers DD1 and I did for Doctor January, you can see them here.

Love the death scene! Oops, should I have said ‘spoiler alert’?

It’s not a death scene! It’s a horrific accident which puts her in a coma scene. (I’m quite proud of the big red Playdoh splat, actually.)

Love it, Rhoda. Inspired idea. Clever lady! The girly Lego colours are not too bad really, but I get what you mean. 🙂 xx

Very clever. Love the use of the Legos. Great music too!

The music was one of the set pieces from Animoto. I actually learned a fair bit about photo editing doing this. Took me a while to work out how to make Sally transparent in the last shot.
