Through this project, I wanted to capture the essence of the novel in a way that the traditional bibliography can not. I thought that a great way to do this would be to somehow give readers a taste of the language and feel of the literal text. To do this, I compiled a list of the ten most frequently used words in the novel, as well as picked three lines from the novel, one from the beginning, middle, and end. I then created a stop motion video, making it appear as though the words themselves were coming out of the book. Through this animation I "brought the book to life" in order to give readers a better sense of the novel that can not be obtained from the fact-based traditional bibliography.

This stop motion video features ten of the most frequently used words in the novel Memoirs of the Countess D'Anois, and three lines from various parts of the novel, in order to give readers a sense of the language of the novel, as well as animate or bring the novel to life in a way that the traditional bibliography is unable to do.
