I want to just share my story of how I made the animation short film into a digital book. I hope this story will inspire you to pursue a career in animation or other creative fields.

After my animation short film gained some attention at various film festivals, I was contacted by a mobile publisher called Storypanda.

I worked with them to turn my short into an interactive kid's book app.

For the book, I did not have to create any new animation. I did, however, have to separate all the animation from the composite I created when I made my short animation.

All layers were labeled and I used a field guide delivered by Storypanda to ensure none of the artwork was lost when you view the book on the iPad.

As an animator, I was thrilled to see my work move on the iPad.

I think digital is truly a new source of opportunity for the creative industry.
