Cat Scratch

“Cat Scratch” is a tablet based interactive e-book experience. Digital elements such as animation, sound, parallax images, and light interaction are used to support the story of young Summer Ripley and the flying cats brought to life through her imagination.

The goal of this project was to explore new ways to take advantage of the digital platform to enhance e-book reading without detracting from the core elements of a traditional reading experience.

ActionScript code excerpt.
This script was used to prototype an automated animation style (crossfading between frames) in Flash. The code then served as a reference for the final script in Unity.
