Contentertainment 2012

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.

A panel of experienced content creators share their stories of working with these blossoming digital platforms, discussing both previous experiences and future plans.

The Panel:

Matt Wasser is owner of Frosby, a company creating learning apps for children and original e-books for the iPad, iPhone, Android devices and Amazon's Kindle Fire.
