Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:12:53 +0000 @DavidBFox I'd say yes, any on-screen movement counts as animation, IMHO 2.60187E+17 brooks_jones #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:13:15 +0000 What about full character animation with a cat walking across the screen and 2.60187E+17 DavidBFox jumping up on a table? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:13:17 +0000

#storyappchat has anyone combined the "read to me concept" with touch. ie 2.60187E+17 DanaSchlingman touch the word and it's read aloud or it activates some animation Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:14:04 +0000 @kindoma full character animation (either hand-drawn or CG) can be really 2.60187E+17 DavidBFox expensive. Moving a ball across the screen is cheap. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:14:48 +0000 @kindoma taps can make things appear & disappear, sounds, change light 2.60187E+17 cynthianugent colour.can be from gesture or begin as screen opens. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:14:50 +0000 @kindoma Some interactions, like sound effects or words highlighting when 2.60187E+17 iPad_storytime touched, aren't really animation, but many do both. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:14:59 +0000 So the level of animation is going to be determined in part by your budget (or if 2.60188E+17 DavidBFox you can do it yourself). #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:15:20 +0000 @DanaSchlingman Oceanhouse apps have words pronounced and highlight 2.60188E+17 cynthianugent when you touch them #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:15:31 +0000 I know of apps that had $100K budgets because of so much animation included. 2.60188E+17 DavidBFox Much more difficult to get your investment back. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:15:50 +0000 RT @cynthianugent: @DanaSchlingman Oceanhouse apps have words 2.60188E+17 DanaSchlingman pronounced and highlight when you touch them #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:16:43 +0000 @DanaSchlingman There's 'touch-to-hear' & even 'touch-to-spell' for 2.60188E+17 iPad_storytime words in a book - try Kiwa (QBooks), Oceanhouse, Auryn ... #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:17:04 +0000 animation can show arc of action rather than a slice as in illustration. eg object 2.60188E+17 cynthianugent falling, moving across scene, stars twinkle #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:17:19 +0000 RT @cynthianugent: @DanaSchlingman @OceanhouseMedia apps have words 2.60188E+17 brooks_jones pronounced and highlight when you touch them #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:17:32 +0000 2.60188E+17 DanaSchlingman #storyappchat thanks @cynthianugent I'll have to check that out Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:17:43 +0000 Important warning! MT: @DavidBFox I know of apps that had $100K budgets 2.60188E+17 iPad_storytime b/c of animation. Difficult to get investment back. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:18:21 +0000 simple animatns aren't hard. think of a flip book. Make a short series of pngs eg. 2.60189E+17 cynthianugent a bird pecking only needs 3 diff pngs #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:19:21 +0000 We created our animations first and built stories around them. We wanted to 2.60189E+17 bnemedia tell stories with animation. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:20:08 +0000 a great software is anime studio pro. you can import psd layers to Make a little 2.60189E+17 cynthianugent animatn then export it as pngs for app #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:20:29 +0000 #storyappchat @cynthianugent our local library wants to create a literacy 2.60189E+17 DanaSchlingman program for special needs adults - that feature would be great Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:20:30 +0000 @DanaSchlingman @cynthianugent Here's a sample of some that have 'touch- 2.60189E+17 iPad_storytime to-spell' ... http://t.co/ROqtcEnd #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:21:25 +0000 @DanaSchlingman also check out toon boom. they have lots of sales, lots of ed 2.60189E+17 cynthianugent support and v cheap starter softwares. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:21:56 +0000 2.60189E+17 DanaSchlingman #storyappchat @iPad_storytime thanks that's great - I'll check it out :^ ) Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:22:16 +0000 MT @DanaSchlingman: #storyappchat Our local library wants to create a 2.60189E+17 brooks_jones literacy program for special needs adults, that feature would be great Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:22:16 +0000 2.6019E+17 ruBORED @brooks_jones #storyappchat hi everybody. Interesting topic tonight Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:23:22 +0000 @bnemedia I think a story app should v short animatns that integrate with the 2.6019E+17 cynthianugent words, pictures, animations on each screen. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:23:44 +0000 @cynthianugent @danaschlingman Our animation guru uses toon boom. Loves 2.6019E+17 bnemedia it, she says wouldn't use anything else. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:23:57 +0000 As with sound and music, I think people have high standards for art and 2.6019E+17 DavidBFox animation. Maybe kids don't see the difference. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:24:07 +0000 @cynthianugent We want to do that, but the file size gets out of control! 2.6019E+17 bnemedia Animations are insanely big. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:24:55 +0000 Here's a v simple cut-out animated book trailer made with anime studio 2.6019E+17 cynthianugent http://t.co/0DLoTTHb #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:25:45 +0000 #storyappchat @cynthianugent Does toon boom create the animation for you 2.60191E+17 DanaSchlingman or is it a software package that allows you to do it yourself?

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:27:52 +0000 @bnemedia animatn big if u put video files in an app but if you use sprites (png 2.60191E+17 cynthianugent files)much smaller. too,cant interact w/video #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:28:12 +0000 @bnemedia Good point about file size. I delete a lot animated books to make 2.60191E+17 iPad_storytime room on my iPad. How big is too big an app, in MB? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:28:52 +0000 @DanaSchlingman software for making yourself.

@cynthianugent I disagree about interacting with video--someone just hasn't found how to do it yet. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:30:01 +0000 @iPad_storytime apps are getting huge - 450 MB is not unusual #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:30:06 +0000 RT @cynthianugent: Here's a v simple cut-out animated book trailer made with 2.60191E+17 brooks_jones anime studio http://t.co/9scWiEBx #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:30:08 +0000 Yep, too bad, IMHO RT @cynthianugent: @iPad_storytime apps are getting 2.60192E+17 brooks_jones huge - 450 MB is not unusual #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:31:32 +0000 @iPad_storytime Ours is 100mb and I think it's huge. If I can't download on 3G, 2.60192E+17 bnemedia it's too big. (Sad for our app.) #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:32:02 +0000 @brooks_jones #storyappchat thanks. Enjoying the topic. I am really interested 2.60192E+17 ruBORED in animation Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:33:04 +0000 @bnemedia u'll be waiting a long time. interactns are w/ objects on screen. film 2.60192E+17 cynthianugent is a whole layer & u can't tap on bits of it #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:33:04 +0000 @bnemedia the Morris Lessmore app is essentially interacting with video. They 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox just cut it up into segments that you trigger... #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:35:01 +0000 #storyappchat is there a way to host animations on a server outside the app and 2.60193E+17 DanaSchlingman load them into the app as needed? Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:35:13 +0000 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox ...as you touch or swipe. So it feels interactive. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:35:20 +0000 I think under 100 is good, over 200 is too big, yet we have apps I've reviewed 2.60193E+17 iPad_storytime that are well over 300 or 400 MB. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:36:17 +0000 @cynthianugent I believe in ML, they stop the animation and let you 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox touch/swipe/tap to continue to the next segment #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:36:20 +0000 @DavidBFox that's the case w/ feature films but small animatns in apps r 2.60193E+17 cynthianugent charming.see v start of http://t.co/uhCdCrqC #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:36:34 +0000 2.60193E+17 cynthianugent @DavidBFox what is ML? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:37:00 +0000 @DavidBFox That's what I was thinking of. And there's this Xmas hedgehog 2.60193E+17 bnemedia YouTube "choose your own adventure" video. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:37:03 +0000 @cynthianugent but there's no reason you couldn't have another layer w/hot 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox spots that was also animated to track objs in video #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:37:04 +0000 @DavidBFox I'd definitely put the Morris Lessmore app in the heavy animation 2.60193E+17 brooks_jones category. Nicely integrated #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:37:45 +0000 @DanaSchlingman you could host movies outside the app. Problem is that 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox you'd then only be able to use the app while online #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:38:04 +0000 @DavidBFox oh really? do you have a link explaining how this works? 2.60193E+17 cynthianugent #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:38:15 +0000 @DavidBFox @bnemedia It is technically challenged but possible to have a 2.60193E+17 kindoma video and interaction done together. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:38:18 +0000 MT @iPad_storytime: I think < 100 is good, > 200 is too big, yet we have 2.60193E+17 brooks_jones apps I've reviewed that are well over 300 or 400 MB. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:38:24 +0000 @DanaSchlingman and the delay to download anything is going to make it not 2.60193E+17 DavidBFox feel interactive.

CD-ROMS 2.60198E+17 Annie_Fox were my starting place in the industry. Good times! Mon, 22 Oct 2012 01:56:15 +0000 In children stories, animations & interactivity need to be a part of the 2.60198E+17 violenoet narrative.
