"Fantastic Flying Books"

I was excited to see that "Fantastic Flying Books" won best animated short film at the Oscars last night.

Adam payed for a copy of this as a digital book for Elizabeth and Thomas for Christmas, and we all watched it on the Ipad in wonder and amazement.  It is a book that is also a movie which is also a video game, and in some ways it is like a pop-up book, but the "tabs" you pull are all digital. I could go on and on about how interactive this book is on the Ipad.  Completely space age when you think about it.

I have heard that Adam would very much like to produce "books" like this, and I hope he has the opportunity to do so in his career as an digital creator and artist.
