It’s a beautiful book containing interviews with animators and many lovely images explaining their processes and of course the final works. We’re very pleased to be included in a book with so many inspirational animators we hold in high regard.

Of particular interest to him was some of the work we had produced for the small screen environment – namely mobile phones. At that stage we’d been producing animated video ringtones for the Japanese market and also some Flash-lite “apps” for the few handsets that supported it. We’re so relieved that Apple took it upon themselves to redefine the mobile device!

They had gotten my contact details from someone who had read some of the blog posts on my blog where I try to explain how to code some things up.

Well, I guess they liked what they read and they asked me to participate in a few iPhone development books.

The first of these is “iPhone Advanced Projects”, a compilation of useful iphone development stories from various professionals in the field.

My chapter is all about building particle systems in OpenGL, and there are other chapters covering a wide range of iPhone topics like utilizing wifi to talk with other iPhones, Cocoa Touch tips and tricks, GPS, porting non iPhone apps to the iPhone etc..

The whole book is great and if you are an iPhone developer of any level, you are sure to get good value out of it.

If you have any questions about my chapter specifically, do not hesitate to post here or email me directly: support@benbritten.com

Cheers!
-Ben
