My second foray into video booktalks and trailers…
Jane Austen’s classic text (well…85% classic text) with some added zombie mayhem – including a plague of undead terrorizing Hertfordshire, Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s ninjas terrorizing Elizabeth Bennett, and the Bennett sisters fighting back against all this with their finely honed combat skills.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Regency England like you’ve never seen it before.

Wow- great job!
What software did you use to make your trailer?
There’s been so many YA zombie books lately that a group of book bloggers are hosting a YA Zombie Week in September:

Thanks!
I used HandBrake (an open source video transcosder) to convert the P & P and Night of the Living Dead video clips into an appropriate format (mp4) – which I then imported into imovie on my Mac.
And then I used a few audio clips from my itunes library (and, yes, embarrassing as it is to admit, I have the BBC Pride and Prejudice soundtrack in my itunes library).
That convention in LA sounds so cool! Zombies really do seem to be becoming almost the new ‘vampires’ for literature.
Awesome job!! I’m reading this now :)
