Turbulent Sea Book Trailer
About a month ago, Sheila English asked if I would be interested in directing Christine Feehan's upcoming book trailer for Turbulent Sea.
Without hesitation, I responded I would love to do it. Then she drop the really big news: it would be a music video! I immediately understood what she wanted. Turbulent Sea is based on Joley's life as a famous singer. Sheila wrote the song and when I heard it I was hooked.
My experience in producing and working on music videos matched perfectly with this request. I had worked on several of Gloria Estefan's music videos including "Turn the Beat Around", "I'm Not Giving You Up" and "Reach." I thought about Gloria's performance in the first two and knew that this was the look and feel we would go for.
As it turned out Gloria is one of Christine's favorite music artist and agreed that this was the feel that she wanted for the video. Cecilia, her daughter, would play Joley and I requested that she look at several of Gloria's videos in particular, I'm Not Giving You Up" which I coordinated (Bille Woodruff directing and Jeff Nelson producing).
I was looking for a lot of emotion which can be very hard to capture in music videos. Most of the time the music artist is "selling" to the camera too much or trying to hard, but Gloria, the pro, knows exactly how to bring it. I was a little concerned about Cecilia, because it takes years to perfect the skill of lip syncing and acting. But, Cecilia handled like she had been doing it all her life! She really just came right to it and from the first take I knew we had a natural performer in her.
The song has an emotional climax to it and Cecilia looks right into the camera and lets us see right into her soul. I was shaken when she gave the performance outside the stadium door (she takes the wig off and throws it down.)
She also was a real blast to work with. We had fun doing the explosion scene at the end and were joking and laughing around a lot right before we filmed it. I was concerned that she wasn't going to be in the right state for the scene, but as soon as we rolled camera she dropped the goofy kid act and went right to work, jumping high in the air and throwing herself down on the mat with all her energy. She is one athletic little lady!
Of course, I would be remiss not to mention Eric Holter who played Ilya, but I'm going to blog about that another time. Cheers - Victoria Arias Fraasa

Turbulent Sea - Christine Feehan Song Lyrics
It's been exciting working in the book trailer industry these last 6 years. One of the benefits to the job is that I get to read the books in advance.
One of our most popular authors that we create video and audio products for is #1 bestselling author Christine Feehan.
She has several series, each of them amazing. If you've never read her I urge you to pick up one of her books, but warn you that they are very addictive!
The Dark Series or Carpathian Series is a vampire hunter series with Carpathians who are vampire-like but not evil and who are in fact vampire hunters. These dark and brooding heroes are the stuff of legend and are, in my opinion, the reason vampire romance novels hit it so big over the last few years.
The Ghostwalker series is a military paranormal series that is a huge hit with men and with military personnel. I think the research that goes into these books is very extensive and it lends to the realism of the stories.
The Drake Sister Series is about 7 magical sisters and I have to say that I love this series so much! It is a wonderful feel good series that promotes the love of family while still bringing you action, adventure and even some scary moments.
The upcoming Drake Sister release is my favorite for many reasons. The couple in the book are hot! They conflict is believable and you spend so much of your time caught up in the romance and the intrigue it's amazing! The book trailer for the video is a music video! I wrote the script for the book trailer and I wrote the lyrics to the song.
For anyone interested in the words here they are-

Turbulent Sea lyrics by Sheila Clover English
Darkness lives inside me
A secret that I hide
The light that comes from all the rest
Is lost upon the tide
A touch of lightning – magic
Has left me marked and cold
I want…I need…I crave for me
A love that sells my soul
Pulling at me
I’m drowning in passion and fear
With all that I am – or ever will be
I must fight for what I hold dear
For what is right
But shadows follow…
Me into the night
To change an unchangeable fate
The wave crashes
In my heart
Darkness follows
Light departs
Like a turbulent sea
Pulling at me
I’m drowning
