Animated Books

OK, I didn't get an idea for a blog today until about 5:00pm, when I decided to read what I had recommended to other bloggers, as good blog topic material and it worked!! I keyed in "video of the day" and was directed to Mashable.com - a site that I usually find very interesting. Fortunately it didn't let me down today.

Since I have been talking a bit about books lately, I was drawn to this animated video in stop motion photography about a book store coming to life.


It's quite short, but very engaging. I'm not sure that you would get the same effect with a collection of e-books on a reader. Alas, too many book stores have been closing. We may have gained the convenience of immediate downloads, but I think that we have lost a lot of the entertainment that comes with browsing through book shelves and stacks of books!!

Have an animated day!!

    I think you can make an animation IN your eBook- and then get the same result. (OK, probably need to aim the book's audience to the younger set...)

    Cool video. I, also, am sad to see bookstores closing, but to my opinion many of the ones that are being forced out deserve their fate due to a loss of focus on what their customers want.

    Cool video! I used to dislike ebooks until I realised that the pleasure to read was exactly the same. Now, I am getting into it!
