Smith Micro Software, Inc. Productivity and Graphics group today announced the launch of its social multimedia platform MotionArtistTV, targeted for artists, animators and graphic art enthusiasts. MotionArtistTV combines the open, interactive canvas of HTML5 with convenient content sharing through a social portal. It allows users to view interactive, animated content, connect with fellow artists and users, and share their HTML5 graphics, animations, and multimedia comics created with MotionArtist software.
“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.
With the increasing popularity of interactive graphic novels, and wide-spread growth of transmedia projects that take advantage of storytelling using online tools, there is great potential for this community platform to grow, while being focused for uses of the MotionArtist software.
MotionArtistTV is a free web portal, immediately available to the public. Users can register for membership at MotionArtistTV. MotionArtist software is currently available for $49.99. For more detailed product, pricing and upgrade information, please visit the MotionArtist website.
