As a book loving family we are always on the look out for new things to read. The other night I stumbled across a really interesting video about a new book that had just hit number one in the ipad app store.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
“Morris Lessmore loved words. He loved stories. He loved books”
It's based on the book by William Joyce and has been developed by Moonbot Studios. It’s not really an app- more an interactive book. The story in itself is just delightful - it is about people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favour. But its the actual animation and what you cab do using the app which adds such a dimension to the story. This is what I imagined books would be like on the Ipad and now they are.
At $5.49 it will be the best dollars you will ever spend. Now I will apologise in advance because I am totally smitten with this story and beautiful app so this post is filled with every link I can find to share with you.
Here is the promo video :-)
and then I found these little videos on vimeo which goes through the making process You must watch !
There are nine parts in planned apparently ( but for the life of me I can't find where I read that ) but only four are up so far . Here is part one.
The Making Of Morris: Part 1 (The Power of Story) from Moonbot Studios on Vimeo.
