I’ve had an excellent experience working with Storybook Reels on my book trailers. They have produced all of my trailers so far, and every time, they’ve managed to capture the exact feel, tone, and visual style I was hoping for.
Their communication has been outstanding throughout the process, and I’ve been very impressed by both the quality of their work and their reasonable pricing. They truly understand how to bring a story’s atmosphere to life in a cinematic and professional way.
I’m very pleased with the results and hope to continue utilizing their services for future projects. Highly recommended!

Be very clear not to use real images of actors.
Story Reel Studios completed a thirty-second trailer for me for $199, plus $99 for the transcript. I have used the service twice before, and there’s an understanding that they should use actors’ likenesses, but not something obvious. The video is awesome. I make it look like Ana de Armas, Taylor Lautner, and Ryan Guzman are going to be in a crime thriller together. Sad, the video will never see the light of day. They wanted me to pay $149 to fix their mistake. I paid $500 for the full trailer for my two other books. Stay clear of the thirty-second trailer because you’ll end up paying the same amount for a short video. In my case, I would be sued into oblivion if the actors ever saw it. Yes, I consulted with my lawyer, and it’s a gray area because of AI. On May 8th, the company owner refunded my money. The overall experience was worth the effort, and I would use their services again.

Hi Alexander,
This is Robert Hicks, founder of StoryReel Studios. I’m truly sorry that your experience with your trailer for Thunderhead Wash fell short of what you expected, especially after working with us on previous projects.
I understand your concern about the actor likenesses used in the trailer and how that made the final video feel unusable for you. That is not the outcome we want for any author.
Because of this, we are refunding your entire order. Please note that it typically takes 3–5 business days for the funds to be returned to your card, depending on your bank or card provider.
I’ll also be personally reviewing this project with our team so we can better understand what happened and improve how we handle visual references, likeness concerns, and revision expectations moving forward.
We appreciate that you gave us another opportunity to work with you, and I’m sorry we didn’t deliver the experience you deserved this time. We truly wish you and *Thunderhead Wash* great success.
Low advertised price drew me in, with the expectation that the first draft would reflect my brief. It didn’t. The video missed the tone and message entirely, and the ending even showed a dying scene, which was completely antithetical to the purpose of my project.
When I asked for corrections, I was told I’d need to pay additional fees for revisions. That felt misleading given how the service was presented. A refund was eventually issued, but only after several follow-ups.
Be very clear up front about what the advertised low price actually covers.
Reply from StoryReel Studios2026-05-28
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the first draft missed the mark and that the revision process left you feeling misled or frustrated. That is never the experience we want anyone to have with our service.
We also want to apologize for the delay in getting your refund resolved. We understand how frustrating that must have been.
At the moment, we’re not sure who you are because we’re unable to find your name in our customer database, and we don’t have your contact information from this review. However, we would love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so we can confirm the project details and issue a 100% refund if that has not already been fully processed.
We also want to assure you that we are taking this feedback seriously. We’re reviewing how we present our promotional pricing, what is included in the first draft, and how revisions are communicated so expectations are much clearer moving forward.
Again, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I have to say that I was pleased that StoryReels refunded me in full because I was not satisfied with the video they created for me. I was quite impressed with their response.

Hi Randy,
This is Robert Hicks, founder of StoryReel Studios. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience with us felt mediocre. That is never the standard we want to deliver.
We want every author to receive a book trailer they can be excited about and proud to share. Unfortunately, it sounds like we missed the mark with yours, and I sincerely apologize for that.
Because of this, we are refunding your entire order.
I also want you to know that I’ll be personally reviewing this project with the editor who worked on your trailer so we can identify where we fell short and create a clear improvement plan. Our goal is to continue raising the quality of our work and provide authors with exceptional marketing materials that help them grow their impact and sell more books.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work on *Life at the Lake*. We truly wish you and your book great success.

Singularity Drift - Techno-thriller
The team worked with my script and character renderings to create a perfect 1-minute video with the cliff hanger I prescribed. It was way better than I expected.

Hi Joel, we’re really glad to hear you loved the final video and that it’s getting such a great response. It’s awesome that people are reaching out to learn more that’s exactly what we hope for!
I am creating book trailers for an 8 novel series. StoryReel Studios has done an excellent job of exciting story rendition and character continuity throughout the series. They have been responsive to adjustments to the visuals to be true to the story and sensitive to avoid spoilers in the sequential trailers. A job very well done which brings my story to life!

Hi Stephen, Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s been an absolute pleasure bringing your story to life and working alongside you to make each trailer feel just right. We’re really glad you felt the continuity and care throughout the series that means a lot to us. Excited to keep creating with you!
They do an amazing job. I credit them with helping my book become an International best seller!
Reply from StoryReel Studios2026-03-30
That means so much to us Kevin! 😊 We’re incredibly honored to have been part of your journey, and huge congratulations on becoming an international bestseller that’s amazing! It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re so glad we could help bring your book to a wider audience.
I asked for some changes to be made, where the figure had a weird shape (fat with boobs), they just made the screen black. The narrator's voice is not at all consistent with the concept and the dragon's voice makes him sound unintelligent. There are a couple of things that are excellent, so I know you have the technology and skill to do a great job, this isn't it. I asked for the final line of dialogue to be changed because it says epic proportion and the mythic proportion was too much together. I asked for it to be changed to friends forever or something generic like that. That wasn't changed. I'm disappointed because the opening is great, the landing on the cliff is great, then the water and swimming is wonderful. There is the face of a dragon that isn't even the face of Sparke and I sent a lot of images for you to use. Some things were done really well, but the things that are not make it unusable as far as I'm concerned. I'm sorry because I was very excited to use it as a promo. Will not use it as it stands.

I’m so sorry about that, Donald. We always aim to get every detail right, and we apologize for missing the mark here.
The book trailer turned out to be more like a movie trailer! We have gotten over 50 offers for interviews, TV spots and magazine offers just since we launched the story reel. It was so good, and so affordable, we bought a 2nd one! And that one was just as dynamic! Five stars just isnt high enough! The team keeps in close communication and from the time you pay til the completion of the reel is no longer than 5 days!
Reply from StoryReel Studios2026-03-25
Wow this absolutely made our day! 🤩 Thank you so much Julie! We’re so excited to hear about all the buzz your trailer is getting that’s exactly what we love to see. And doing a second one with you? That means everything.
Thanks for trusting us, we can’t wait to keep creating more magic together!
