Skunk and Badger book trailer

In this animated book trailer, young readers meet Skunk and Badger, an unlikely set of roommates.

Algonquin Young Readers came to me seeking a treatment for a video to promote their title new"Skunk and Badger", a chapter book by Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake. Based on original illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, I created an animated book trailer to promote the launch of the series.

Two years later, when Algonquin released the sequel, "Egg Marks the Spot", they returned to ask me to create another trailer. I wrote a script for the trailer, hired and directed voiceover talent to read the script, animated the video, and created the sound design.
