Tech Talk Thursday on Friday

Yesterday's Tech Talk Thursday post was delayed due to my I5 drive from LA to SFO.  

The 6 hour imposed mediation session inspired me to post about a fabulous company, in a shameless plug, for TouchPress apps, a wonderful app, technology and educational creator located in London, home of the new Christmas hamper at Fortnum & Mason's of course!  Yes, they spell favorite with a "u" too!

The team at TouchPress has created some lovely apps that inspire and educate.  The first and obvious one to chat about, that aligns with this blog, is TouchPress's DISNEY inspired animation app that educates young and old alike on how Disney creates its beautiful animation and tells its story.  See link below.

Your favourite Disney characters & filmsAccess an astonishing amount of material from all eras, beginning with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and continuing through an exclusive first look of concept art, animation tests and visual effects from upcoming films.

From the company's website:

We’re thrilled to announce that our app Disney Animated was voted the top interactive project at Sheffield Doc/Fest in the 2015 Audience Awards.

Sheffield Doc/Fest is the UK's premier documentary and digital media festival. It is the place to see world and UK premieres of the best creative documentaries from the cinema, television and online arenas.
Audiences who attended the hugely successful 2015 edition of Sheffield Doc/Fest had the chance to vote for their favourite projects. Out of all the interactive projects on display at the popular Interactive Exhibition in the Millennium Gallery, the audience voted Disney Animated as the best, despite fierce competition from Universe Within: Digital Lives in the Global Highrise, 1979 Revolution, The Boat and others.
