Dennis Woodyard’s Summary
I'm an Emmy Award nominated animation producer / director with experience in the animation field, ranging from story boarding to production supervision.
My latest project is Dragonfly Flipz™ - Animated Story Flip Books, a new, innovative book format.
For the video gaming market, Game Flipz™ books are is the creative fusion of game graphics, and the animated flip books, with a touch of comic book layout thrown in for good measure. Dragonfly Game Flipz™ brings static screenshot panels to life.
Dragonfly Flipz™ books can be a stand alone product, or bundled as a premiums with games, or gaming magazines and books, plus promotional giveaways for trade shows, like E3 or the Comic Con.
Dragonfly Flipz™ books can be viewed on my web site: www.dragonflyent.net, http://dragonflyent.blogspot.com/, gametrailers.com and Youtube.com.
To keep myself inspired, I've adopted a quote from the late actor Cornel Wilde Jr. as my motto. It says:
"It is my goal to accomplish, in my life, something of value and to do it with self respect and integrity."
Watch for Dragonfly Entertainment projects. You won't be disappointed.
