Digital technology has been used creatively for many years now to create new kinds of entertaining content, but still new formats and distribution models continue to appear. This talk looks at apps and storybooks related to animated content, exploring the new opportunities on these platforms for animators, writers and illustrators, and examines how existing content can be given an extended life on these interactive platforms.
