I honestly can't right now but that doesn't mean there isn't anything beyond stories. Someone mentioned comics--and I think that would be a good idea, but I think the comic industry is past that. Motion comics basically do the exact same thing but in a much more fluid/better way.

Here's an example of a Motion comic (from 2009 too) from Marvel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAUAC0RzMis

I dunno if I can agree with the "exact same […] but […] much more fluid/better". I think the motion comics came about because some comic exec though they needed to put their wares on Youtube or something like that, whereas I started with faux-3D/parallax as a neat way to show a lot of information in a limited space. My inspiration is pop-up books, theirs is movies/storyboards.

I don't think you can compare them qualitatively as directly as you've done is what I am saying. Their end product is a movie, mine is a website.

Fair enough, I can see what you're saying. I don't think there's a lot of difference here but as you said there is a difference and that's all that matters. At it's core it's the same, but it was probably a bad choice of words to say exact.

Also--Don't get me wrong, I really like what you've done, and really enjoyed the story.
