In the past when producing animated work, we have just published them on YouTube. While this works well and is financially sensible, it doesn't make much sense when trying to earn money from a comic. Over the course of the project, I will need to find or develop a way to host the animated parts of the comic in a way that only people who have purchased the book can access them.
One way to do this would be building a website with a password to enter (that would be included inside the book). This is fairly simple and very accessible, but the fact that the password could be shared causes some issues. It could also be harder to navigate, as the reader would have to find each animation on the website as they were reading the book.
Another way is having QR codes on each animated panel that, when scanned, would bring up the corresponding animation. This is a very clean and clear way to approach this for the reader, but would require either the addition of a random third party app, or us building our own app. Because of this possibility, I looked into app creation online. The pages I found most helpful can be found in my Useful Links post.
