I'm so happy that you noticed these in particular, r1015bill! I had those custom scenes with "230208" all finished ages ago -- remembering the scene where Josef finds the report of 230208's death in the file, I had made up a version of that report and put it in the video. Then (and you know how this goes!) while re-reading, I discovered something that I'd forgotten -- that Josef later on reads that report again and the exact wording is right there in the story! So I had to go back and redo the report to include the proper wording, and change all of those scenes at the last minute. (r1015bill wrote:I particularly liked the custom scenes with the 230208 highlighted. And I really liked the effect where you made the video images look like they were drawings. That really fit in well with Lilith's drawings!
And that part of the document shows up for about half a second. I'd think "aw, no one will notice" except that Newborn readers notice everything . . .)I'm really pleased you liked the "drawing" effects too. I had never before used drawings in a video and was wondering how to transition through them smoothly, and after experimenting with that effect it seemed like the best way.
OMG Amy you are freaking amazing! I have not read this story and now I SO Have TOO! If the story is even a 10th of what you have just put together I know I'm gonna love it too. Lilith just got the best trailer for her story ever!!!
Kath, you've totally made my day!!!! I had really hoped that this video might intrigue someone who didn't know the story enough that they'd want to go and read it. And oh, Kath, this story is SO amazing; I can't even express how much more/better it is than this video can show. Newborn is sixty wonderful chapters long, so I've got only got about one minute per ten chapters here . . . . I had to leave SO much out. ( 
... Newborn and Blood of the Lily would make a blockbuster movie!
