Blog Tour: 'Split' Video and Giveaway! Swati Avasthi

Please welcome Swati Avasthi, author of Split!

Techno-God

Making an animated scene is hard work. I ought to know. This is how it got made:

Me (while watching a vid and munching on popcorn): Hey, honey, can we do something like this for the blog tour?

Hubby: Probably. What software are they using?

Me: …

Him: Oh, I see. It’s moviestorm. Is it free?

Me: (munch, munch, munch) …

Him: (working on his computer) Yeah, I can download it. Do you know what scene to animate?

Me: (munch, munch) …

Him: I’ll poke around.

A week later…

Him: It would be great if we could use a real voice over. Like from the audio book.

Me: (writing an email) I’ll see if we can get permission.

Him: How long do you want it?

Me: …

Him: I can’t figure out the camera angles

Me: …

A week later:

Him: See?

Impressive, huh? Clearly, I’m a techno-God.

The scene that “we” chose to animate is about 2/3 of the way through the book right. Jace comes into this scene after hitting a white-hot point of fury with everything that has been building up. He rages about, just barely on the edge of control. In response, Christian tells him to get dressed in running shorts and drags him out the door.
