As you know, making comics is more than just drawing and printing pretty pictures. You gotta get the word out there and promote the crap out of them! That being said, print advertising my be very effective, but nothing can beat word of mouth and the visual impact.

Last week, Charles “Zan” Christensen, writer of the up-coming Class Comics series “The Mark of Aeacus” put together a very cool promotional video for the series which he then promptly uploaded to YouTube. Zan discusses Aeacus and his thoughts on the series in an intimate and “up close and personal” way. Very cool, and very memorable!

Zan inspired Fraser and I to put together 3 clips of our own, which we uploaded to XTube for the public’s viewing pleasure. Our first 3 clips feature “In the Blink of an Eye”, “Camili-Cat” and “Captain Jung and his fellow Bounty Hunters”. Very colorful and very fun… and hopefully very effective as marketing tools! LOL!

Putting these gems together is a great deal of fun, but we are still quite new at it. We figure we will get better in time and have a few more promo videos planned for several of our other books. The music is pretty tricky to do, but you know what they say… Practice Makes Perfect! Hopefully! HA! HA! HA!

Personally, I am working on an “Art of Patrick Fillion – Portfolio video” which I plan to upload to YouTube – nothing dirty – just fun comic style art!

I know it’s not like these are “animated” or “cartoons” in the strictest sense, but they are fun pre-cursors to possible eventual animation! So take a look at the 4 existing vids and let your friends know all about them. And leave feel free to comment on them. We’d love to know what you think! Meanwhile, I will let you know the minute we post some new vids. Enjoy! ;oD
