Studio Brief 1 - Process and Production - Flip book Animation

Flip book animation is a simple and fairly easy way to create moving images. The classic flip book consists of paper and pen, but in recent years it has evolved into an even more creative practice.

Here, this artist instead of building on top of the paper, he has taken away in order to create optical illusions.

Colibri

This is one of my favourite animations because it is a continuous movement of a humming bird using bright colours. This artist took the idea of the flip book, and modernised it to fit in with society. The human aspect is only played out through the drawing itself, and the actual moving of the paper is left to the machine. I really love the speed which the machine flips to paper to create this fast illusion of the bird hovering.
