A Digital Ficton Factory Prototype

Developed in partnership with Gospelware & the Digital Fiction Factory.

The motion graphic novel is the second in a series of prototypes from the digital fiction factory created in partnership with members of the Creative Network.

Nine companies, from across the north were invited to a creative briefing; all specialists in developing applications for mobile.

The team from Gospelware in Newcastle were eventually awarded the contract to develop the motion graphic novel using assets from Melvin Burgess’ multi-award winning BBC project The Well.

We can’t show you any of the project right now, as it’s still under wraps but we’ll be posting details very soon!
