Animation booklets (Flip-books) were one of the first methods for creating animation. They started out in the pre-cinema era as an entertaining toy in games held by illustrators and comic book artists. Other toys such as praxinoscopes and zoetropes from the same period played with the vision continuity principle and used rotation to create a motion cycle. Flip-books naturally evolved from books, which were already very ubiquitous since the advent of the printing press. There were also devices that mechanically flipped through images inspired by the idea of flipping through a book\u2019s pages to create motion.<\/span>

Maybe you remember how delightful drawing on the corner of a textbook in elementary school can be. If you draw a bouncing ball on the corner of the page and flip through the pages quickly, the drawing seems to come alive. Unfortunately,\u00a0 learning is so digital today that few kids experience the joy of \u201cdestructing\u201d textbooks in this way.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Around 35 years ago, I came across a flipbook in a museum store in New York. It was full of printed images from <\/span>Muybridge\u2019s book, and I thought about how it was the perfect culmination of matter, culture and animation. The matter, in this case, is the product \/ book which can be held in your hand, and the entire wonderful experience can be flipped through in 2 seconds!<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>The booklet, the size of a notepad (around 6 * 10 cm) is quite thick with a softcover. <\/span>
<\/span>I have printed quite a lot of flip-books throughout the years.<\/span><\/p>

Here I will flip through some of the flip-books I made and at the end of the page you\u2019ll find my insights and advice about how to successfully make your own.<\/span><\/p>

The first series I created was for a children\u2019s toy store. They commissioned the drawings and produced the flip-books. We printed five different flip-books in color. Each flip-book contained about 25 relatively easy-to-flip thick pages. We chose to deal with \u201ccool\u201d characters that spring into action when pages are flipped.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>One drummed until a monster materialized from his drum, the other was riding a skateboard and suddenly took flight, a guitar player broke his guitar at the end of a performance, a creature listened to psychedelic music with headphones and one character drew graffiti with spray paint onto the \u201cscreen\u201d until the whole frame was covered.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
