Features and benefits of the digital video, animation and audio products
announced today by StudioNow for the book publishing community include:
- Author Profile Interview Video: Using the author's own words a
StudioNow videographer shoots on-location interview footage, adds music and
then edits the piece to provide a first cut for review and approval.
Authors and publishers may also upload still images, additional video
footage or music tracks directly to StudioNow for inclusion into the
finished video.
- Book Promo Video Trailer: Authors and marketing professionals can
create a video teaser by simply providing an ISBN and uploading still
images or footage directly to StudioNow for editing and incorporation of
animated graphics, text, music and a custom voiceover.
- Children's Animated Books: Content owners of children's books can
create an additional format and revenue stream for their books by uploading
the interior images directly to StudioNow for image animation and the
addition of music along with a professional voiceover and sound effects.
- Audiobook Reading and Production: Audiobooks can be created by
uploading a PDF or electronic copy to StudioNow, which will then select an
appropriate reader from its network of voice talent to record the book in
its entirety. StudioNow then edits, masters and delivers the finished read
in high-quality digital format to the appropriate destination.
The StudioNow production platform provides dynamic management of the entire
content development and production process from start to finish, connecting
the customer with thousands of expert videographers, editors, directors,
producers, animators and voiceover artists. StudioNow quickly and
