Beginner Flipbook Tutorial:

About Me:
Welcome to my channel! In addition to making flipbooks, I am a stop-motion animator and have worked on movies like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, Missing Link, and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. I fell in love with animation as a kid and have been doing it ever since.

appreciate you finding a way to share the unflippable flip books <3

He rickrolled us in the 2 seconds the video began.

I have been to this museum, they flipbooks were not on display, i never knew they had secret archives. You were very lucky to have got to see behind the scenes and given access, i do wonder what else they have hidden away.

I am so grateful to see someone share their passion with so much care with the world. Most of the time, if it is genuine and the circumstances supports, the world responds too. This response is magical. I thinks its what everyone should strive to live for. I find you very very inspirational Andy. The video where you share your first inspiration piece of flipbook with the teacher who inspired you was absolutely fantastic too.

8:37 I can see why the skeleton flipbook has survived 150+ years like that:







The skeleton has maintained his great shape with consistent jumping jacks. 💪

Not only were they the first flipbooks, but the first animations as well, that's crazy! Also, the new flipbook kit looks awesome with the new box and screws, might have to pick it up and check it out.

[vanessavaldes]

Thanks for making it possible for us to see the moving flipbook features of these artifacts! It's so great to see the museum/archive working with you to achieve something that helps this artifact come to life for the public while also preserving it as much as possible for future exhibition.

I can imagine in like 100 years some scientists are gonna be inspecting a pringles bag

"Kineograph", "Filoscope" and "Folioscope"; it looks that name the early flipbooks wasn't easy.

It's such a good thing you keep sharing with us your passion for the art of flipbooks, Andy.

[trippx]

we need more stuff like this i really found this video interesting keep up the good work 🔥🙏

[SabiduriaVirtuosa]

Wow! Old flipbooks!
And they still have they’re shape!😮

[kiwi__]

i loved visiting the media museum as a kid, it’s one of the things that got me interested in animation

[annagloria]

Looks like a full circle moment for Andy! Sometimes your efforts (for the artform), get rewarded in the most beautiful ways.

[Nir_Shachrur]

I don't know how it happened but I was moved to tears by this video, thank you Andy for sharing and for going and filming there, it's amazing and interesting content

[tiffanymilan]

This was truly amazing to be able to see. Thank you Andy

[dwerical]

So crazy to think that flipbooks have been thought of this long ago.

[gnayr]

Wow! What a great place. You must have been like a kid in a candy store. Thank you so much for sharing…and for doing the extra to show us the flicks. And thank you to Carol for showing you the depths of the archives. 🙏

[wirdthings]

Woah! I wish I could see this flipbook in person!

[poppyfairy]

He Rick rolled us faster tha I can blink

[kashigata]

Wow! This made unexpectedly emotional. My grandfather had a zoetrope of horses racing and doing jumps that I used to play with growing up. It was stolen by another relative. I have mourned the loss of that item for decades. This brought back memories of him showing me how it worked by drawing some stick figures on the edge of a paperback, animating them in a crude but miraculous way, to my young mind. At 60 I still miss my grandfather a lot. So lovely to be reminded of him in this way. Thank you!
