Ben Zwycky Report post Posted January 12, 2018 Here's another promo video I did (must have taken me about 40 hours of work to put it together), this time for an awesome collection of stories I helped to edit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Zwycky Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks, Sho, Mars is up next in just over two weeks, really need to get to work on that one so it's suitably epic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted April 2, 2018 I forgot to post the Mars video. Here it is (took a lot more work that I thought, and ended up being a couple of weeks late): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Zwycky Report post Posted June 1, 2018 Earth is coming out in 4 days, in the meantime, here's another promo video I did for a fun an unique book that combines 1001 Nights with A Princess of Mars (and starts with a modified shot from the above Mars video): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoHashi Report post Posted June 5, 2018 Another great one, Ben! Love watching your videos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks, I'm trying to make them good enough to somehow go viral, but no such luck so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted December 5, 2018 This one is not related to the planetary series, but is a fun crowdfunding promo for a new space opera series (books and a card game ). There are two days left to get in on it for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI7ZLryA57E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted February 23, 2019 Another one unrelated to the planetary series, but went on sale today (used a ton of different tools and libraries in this one, my first video since getting a dedicated rendering rig (a second-hand workstation): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoHashi Report post Posted February 24, 2019 You did this by yourself, Ben? That's pretty amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks, and I did, on a micro budget, too. The music is public domain, though I added some additional bass drops and effects in appropriate places. I've built up a very large library of stock effects, footage and images that I tapped, added to some 3d modelling in three different applications (blender, daz studio, hitfilm pro). The voice actor doing the audiobook version supplied the voiceover, the author supplied a couple of images from shutterstock, and I blended in some template animations from viddyoze, a model and couple of animations from mixamo and a bunch of images from pixabay and footagecrate. My most complex video to date. The client is very happy with this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Zwycky Report post Posted June 26, 2019 Those awesome public domain images from the Juno mission were just begging to be used like this, I couldn't help myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted December 12, 2019 The planetary anthologies series has been transferred to a different publisher, so I won't be making any more promo videos for those, but I've had an epic time gate-themed poem accepted into Saturn, so watch out for that when it comes out. A new multi-planetary trilogy that I edited went on sale today (book 1 did, pre-orders opened on the other two), and I made a promo video for that which starts with a scene from the Jupiter video (my wife said the trailer makes her want to read the book, even though she knows it's not her kind of book, so I'd call that an advertising win): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoHashi Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Another great video, Ben! You've been quite talented with those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Zwycky Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Thanks, this one took a long time to make (I first wrote the song over 2 and a half years ago, there was a very long delay in getting the music for it and hundreds of hours of rendering time for the various sequences) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
