this is shyness book trailer
Thanks to Paul from All Things Considered for adding to my collection of book trailers with this new one for Leanne Halls‘ novel This is Shyness, which launched a few weeks ago at Readings in Carlton.
The combination of stylised visuals, music and text really delivers an emotional punch and perfectly suits the young adult genre (This is Shyness won the 2009 Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing). The lines helps to set up an intriguing proposition and offer a compelling reason to read more. I like it.

A very smooth video. And also, an interesting Easter Egg for you: in the first few second when the camera pans across the telephone pole, there is an advertisement for ‘The Long Blinks’ which also happens to be a blog that Leanne maintained (maintains? I’m not sure, it hasn’t been updated in a while) here:
http://thelongblinks.blogspot.com/
in which she dresses up in a bunch of different awesome costumes in a battle between them.
The things you learn, eh?
Nice pick up Phill. How good are her pictures? Pity that she gave up a while ago, would be great to see more of them.
They are pretty freaking ace. I kind of really want a greyhound now. :X
I heard about This is Shyness over at YA author Fiona Wood’s blog (http://fionawood.com/blog) – *such* a cool premise. And a great trailer to boot.
Nice pick up indeed Phil, The Long Blinks is actually a double easter-egg from the book.
Thanks for the props people.
P.S. I’m tipping Leanne stopped the photos, to focus on writing her novel. Perhaps the series will start up again one day.
