"Digital storytelling and interactive graphic novels generate a massive amount of interest and excitement among artists, animators and fans," said Steve Yatson, vice president of operations for Smith Micro, Productivity and Graphics Group. "The integration of content creation applications and web distribution tools allows any graphic artist to produce and publish their work. With MotionArtist, we made it easy for digital artists to add motion to their comics and photos. Now, using the power of HTML5, MotionArtistTV enables all users to create interactive stories and engage audiences with unequaled control and clarity."
Free and open to the public, MotionArtistTV allows budding artists to join an open-submission community for animated HTML5 graphics. Once community members create a login ID, they receive a personalized profile for posting their own content and following favorite artists. All members can view, like and comment on other members' work, as well as create watch-lists of their favorite episodes and series.
"Having worked extensively with interactive graphic novels, I see great value in Smith Micro's new MotionArtistTV platform," said Brian Haberlin, co-artist and co-writer of the multimedia, sci-fi adventure saga, Anomaly. "As the artist community continues to grow, having a free, convenient resource for posting your content is invaluable. The ability to 'like,' 'comment' and follow other members is extremely beneficial, empowering artists to build a professional network, gain feedback, and discuss trends in the innovative multimedia space."
MotionArtistTV is the perfect channel for sharing projects created with MotionArtist, a software program that enables users to add motion to comic creations, create HTML5 presentations, and make animated photo shows with ease.
