Denisovan
Heather D. Freeman
"Denisovan" is a fictional imagining of a girl who died 40,000 years ago, published as an animated and interactive artist's book for iPhone/iPad and Android mobile devices. The story was inspired by the genomic mapping of a contemporary of early humans and Neanderthal, the denisovan hominin. A tooth and finger bone from a single individual were found in a cave in Siberia, and paleogeneticists were able to determine that they had discovered a whole new hominid. We know that the denisovan girl had brown hair and eyes, but we can only speculate about her relationship to her family members, and how parent child relationships may have evolved in the last 40,000 years. Available for free on iOS and Android mobile devices through iTunes and Google Play.

Moving Image Workshop: Moving Image Workshop: Introducing animation, motion graphics and visual effects in 45 practical projects
Fairchild Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing
Introductory level textbook on animation, motion graphics and visual effects. "If you need a fun, hands-on introduction to core animation techniques - then look no further! Heather Freeman guides you through a wide range of practical projects, helping you establish and build skills in narrative animation, motion graphics and visual effects. Each chapter begins by summarizing historical and theoretical concerns and connecting them with current practice and applications - all beautifully illustrated with stills from classic commercial and independent films, as well as contemporary examples from student work. Having established this context, the remainder of the chapter focuses on walking readers through their own creative projects. Topics covered include early animation technologies and techniques, scenes and staging, character animation, animated type, visual effects and motion graphics, pre- through post-production and experimental approaches to motion graphics. Dozens of sample files are available online, for experimentation and to get readers started on each exercise. The companion website also includes example animations as well as links to recommended software tutorials, recommended artist websites, blogs and animation channels."
