The book trailer of the fantasy novel Fernik by Alexis Saints features the events from the book’s prelude. The animations focuses on a story taking place in an ancient era full of magical worlds and creatures.
The trailer was made in a motion graphics 2.5D environment that simulates the overlapping of cardboard shapes, allowing the viewers to immerse themselves among the pages of Fernik.
The pervasiveness of magic in this fictional world is represented by golden veins running throughout the animation and giving life to the objects and creatures they touch.
The video ends by connecting the magical world of the prelude to the present day setting of the novel. The otherworldly sceneries that characterized the first part of the trailer seamlessly blend into current day, familiar environments.
