A note from Jenn: This whole project makes me giddy. I'm not sure what else I can say about it. It was a dream come true, which seems to be happening often these days as crazy as that sounds. I adore Karl, he is an absolute natural and wonderful to work with. I adore Pamela, she is a dear friend and we have had so much fun working together on this little project it's really ridiculous. It should be illegal. As for Benjamin, the director and editor and writer and all around amazing filmmaker, and absolutely believe he is going to go far and I can't WAIT to ride his skirt tails. Er...shirt tails. Coat tails? Maybe he won't read this.
Eh hem. SO here is a second post about the amazingness that was the Defiant trailer shoot. Because it's just too amazing to be contained in one...

| And again... |
| Awesome! That's a wrap :) |
Oh, you wanted some of the sexy? How about this?

Or this?

Ooo...or this:
DEFIANT:
Genre: Historical RomanceConnect with Pamela: Author Site | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads | Blog
Length: 384 pages
Publisher: Berkley (July 3, 2012)
Major Connor MacKinnon despises his commander, Lord William Wentworth, beyond all other men. Ordered to rescue Wentworth's niece after the Shawnee take her captive, he expects Lady Sarah Woodville to be every bit as contemptible as her uncle. Instead, he finds a brave and beautiful lass in desperate peril. But the only way to free Sarah is for Connor to defeat the Shawnee warrior who kidnapped her—and claim her himself.
Torn by tragedy from her sheltered life in London, Lady Sarah is unprepared for the harshness of the frontier-or for the attraction she feels toward Connor. When they reach civilization, however, it is she who must protect him. For if her uncle knew all that Connor had done to save her, he would surely kill him.
But the flames of passion, once kindled, are difficult to deny. As desire transforms into love, Connor will have to defy an empire to keep Sarah at his side.

The love, care, and attention to details authors like Pamela Clare put in the creative process of book writing and marketing is awe-inspiring. Photo-shoot and video clip are simply awesome!

This is one of the reasons I love her, Mina, the fact that she doesn't have any simple characters, that they're ALL fleshed out and whole. It's an amazing reading experience.
Deletegood luck!

Oh my...Not sure Lisa, you'll have to get through me to get to him, and that would rob the world of his smeariness because I couldn't shoot him anymore!! :(
DeleteHee hee
I just love Studio Smexy Saturdays! Thanks for sharing your behind-the-scenes world with us... seriously reading has never been this much fun before, but with all that can be done now to entice the reader like with live action book trailers, I know I'm having a great time:) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I'm glad it's making the reading experience more fun, that's what we're aiming for!!
DeleteI love Pamela Clare's stories of early America. It's a story line that get's ignored by most historical writers and I am glad Ms. Clare works her writing magic on this time and place.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the giveaway. Thank you.

It's so true Fuzzy. Most pubs shy away from this time period, so I'm over-the-moon happy that Pamela was even able to get them published!

I can't wait to read Defiant! The first two in this series were awesome! I love the behind the scenes photos from the trailer shoot. Looks like you had so much fun! The end product was great! I hope someone will pick this series up for a feature film! Karl on the big screen?! Oh, yeah!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be FUN!!! We have talked about the possibility, I would definitely go see it!! I mean LAST OF THE MOHICANS was a huge success, so why not?!?
DeleteJ
The trailer looks fantastic! Well done! I can't wait to read Defiant. I've been waiting ages for that book! :)

When Pamela had visited Studio Smexy Satrudays at Roamancing Rakes For The Love of Romance I was fascinated by the post so I visited her website and the Book Trailers and Video were fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI sent her a short email letting her know how much I loved her books and how impressed I was with her website.
She sent me an email back! Now that's one classy lady as well as terrific author!
Remember that there were two books that came before Defiant in The MacKinnon's Rangers Trilogy! If you haven't already read Surrender and Untamed be sure to pick them up now as well as a copy of Defiant because you'r going to want to read all three books in the series!
Pamela, I have to remark that you do have some fine cover art! It makes me want to read and re-read your books!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Pamela's books yet. Oh yeah, the covers are fantastic. I also really liked the trailer. My laptop screen is still wet!

That poor man! What happened to his shirt. And then he had to run through all those trees and possible scratch up his shirtless chest. I was glad to see that no actors were harmed in the filming of that trialer. I liked it but I couldn't resist commenting on his shirtlessness! jepebATverizonDOTnet
