Behind the Scenes: Crucible of Gold Trailer


To celebrate the forthcoming release of the new Temeraire novel, Crucible of Gold, Naomi has authorized the creation of a new book trailer!

The website will feature a Behind the Scenes look at the creation of the book trailer, this being the first post of several. If you look below, you will see the very beginning stages, along with commentary from Lim, the artist responsible for creating the book trailer. I particularly like the third image—the rendering of a dragon!

More soon!

Behind the Scenes: Making the Crucible of Gold Book Trailer



Sneak peek of Temeraire storyboard. Page one (of three), sketching out colours, textures, and six shots. These six shots will be built and rendered out during the first week of February.

Here’s a look at one of the shots being built.
