We had to be careful to get the whole scene in each shot and keep the iPad stillDSC_0169 DSC_0170

And to keep our fingers out of the way in-between shots.DSC_0177 DSC_0179 DSC_0182 - Version 2DSC_0185DSC_0187

We used speech bubbles to liven up the scenes and add dialogue.DSC_0195 DSC_0196 DSC_0197
