I’m looking for a motion designer to create a short, high-quality trailer (20-30 seconds) for a literary novel publishing in September 2026.
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I’m looking for a motion designer to create a short, high-quality trailer (20-30 seconds) for a literary novel publishing in September 2026. This is not a slideshow or a standard book trailer. It needs to feel like a premium, editorial piece of work, bold, provoking and must-want.
The trailer should be driven by the line: “The weird thing is, I’m more interested in my mother now she’s dead.” This line should sit at the centre of the piece. The tone should be restrained rather than dramatic, with a focus on pacing and typography. You will work from the artwork on the attached file.
The novel follows a daughter in Los Angeles uncovering the hidden past of her Iranian mother after her death. What begins as grief becomes an unsettling investigation into identity, inheritance, and a life she never knew existed. It combines dark humour with emotional tension and should feel layered rather than explained.
