Where can I find an amateur book-trailer maker to design a trailer for free or at a low cost?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Run the OpenOffice Impress program
2. Click the File tab and then Open and select your previously created Powerpoint (.ppt) file.
3. After the ppt is opened, on the File tab click export and select the location it will be saved as on your Computer.
4. Select .swf on the export as menu and click OK
5. You can open the .swf in your Internet Explorer browser to view. If there is a yellow box warning about an activeX contol, right-click and click allow blocked content.
6. Clicking on the slide in the .swf will make it go to the next slide.
Once you create a .swf file you can upload your video (.swf file) to youtube or any other video sharing website and promote it.

M$Trailers for books can actually be created quite easily using stock photos, stock video footage, licensed music snippets, and Microsoft Movie Maker, which comes free on any PC (not Mac, sorry).
It's super easy and they are fun to create. You can use free stock photos from Stock Exchange, or you can purchased inexpensive licensed rights to use them from other stock sites.
I create trailers for books for $50-100 bucks, depending on the length of the trailer desired, how many photos I have to purchase licenses for, and how much time I expect it will take to read the book (to get a feel for the plot that goes in the trailer without giving away anything important!), etc.
It's super easy to make your own though, and then you can upload it to YouTube or Myspace or any of those other sites that take video uploads, all for free!

He is actually looking for something a little more professional, as this method did come up. Up against a lot of stiff competition with really professional trailers, he wants to go all out. Thanks for the very detailed instructions.
But you have mentioned that you want it free. If you are looking for professional trailers you will have to spend some $$$
