Our team will create an animated video of your picture book with professional narration, music and sound effects. It's an "enhanced audiobook" that can also be personalized!
You can sell your videobook on Amazon Prime Video, Fire TV (yes, on TV!) and from your website through the Vimeo streaming service. Click here for a sample!
Professional Narration
Your book will be narrated by one of Audible's top narrators OR we will arrange for you narrate it yourself!
Pan & Zoom Animation
Your illustrations will flow with the narration and music.
Captions
The videobooks are closed and/or open captioned to make it easy for children to read along, even if the text would be on a different page.
FAQ
What are children's videobooks?
Audiobook Revolution Productions, LLC, has created many children's picture book audiobooks, but they are sometimes "clunky," because listeners have to download an accompanying PDF of the illustrations or also buy the Kindle version to read along. We are creating a better way to experience your books - as "videobooks" with narration, animation, music and sound effects. Basically, enhanced audiobooks, and we handle the publishing.
What do I need to provide?
A PDF of the illustrated children's book. Original TIF format illustrations will be higher quality, if available. An author photo, if desired. Royalty free music, if you have a choice.
Can I choose the narrator and the music?
Yes, we will send you audition audio clips to make sure you're happy with the narrator. Or, we provide the option of narrating it yourself, provided you have a good microphone and recording environment. We provide guidance.
You can also provide royalty-free music clips, or we will add music from our collection.
