For my research into flip-book animation, I decided to look into Colibri by Juan Fontanive. He is an artist known for centring his work around humming birds.
Personally, I think that he has challenged the typical idea of what a flip book is by spreading the image over two pages, and creating a machine that mechanically moves the image instead of having the element of human interaction to create moving image.
Fontanive creates a smooth moving image, which clearly was extremely time consuming. The bright colours, and movement captures the image of the humming bird well. The starting point for flip-book animation is creating a simple moving image to fully understand the principles of animation, before moving onto more complicated flip-books like this one. I feel like I would be comfortable creating longer animations using flip-books if I was given the time, and opportunity to.
If I was to apply flip-book animation to one of my projects, I would probably use it for my initial animation. This would help me get more of a feel and see what my animation will look like.
