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.

I really love how you show all of the effort and time is put into simple flip books and how you show that sometimes you won't be able to think of anything when you sit down to draw. I feel like this video will help a lot of people who feel the need to give up just because they can't think of something to create.

After watching your videos my 2nd grade daughter decided to make a flipbook and enter it into her school art competition in both 3D art and Film categories. She won a blue ribbon for both! Thanks for being such an inspiration!

When I ordered your kit, I got so excited I couldn't wait, so I took my school chrome book, used it as a light pad, and made my first flipbook... in class. yeah I got yelled at by the teacher, but it was so fun. Thank you for making the kit, you really made animation one of my favorite hobbies!

Edit: Thank you so much for the likes and all the subs! I didn't realize that would happen.

Hey Andy, I'm not sure if you're gonna see this, but your videos really makes me feel deeply happy!! The way you give life to draws or even dots makes something inside me lights up with joy and remember old and more colorful times. I really really appreciate your videos!! You deserve all the love in the world!!

He just flew all the way to his parents house just for paper, the dedication 😳

[ryanmckenzie]

Loved this! I wasn't expecting the "primitive" tips and tricks. I've been doing digital for a while and might have to try a flipbook, for sure.

[SwtGrnEyed]

Oh my gosh. I love this so much! Great concept, I love that you included your parents. I laughed when you had to go back for the camera...twice. And I especially laughed really hard at the High Five flipbook. Genius idea from your dad with the plastic sink cover!! Might have to try that! Truly love your content, you continue to inspire me!! Thank you!! ❤

[maltipooshihtzuandme]

😂🤣I really liked those “might need the camera” times😂🤣I couldn’t stop laughing

[DiegoSanchez-ygrx]

Wow! This turned out better than expected!

[Laze-ipnf]

The way I used to make a flip book before getting your kit was to take a spiral memo the remove the round thing and use my tablet as a light pad by using a white background and putting it to the highest brightness. Was really hard but I loved after I made it. Thank you for inspiring me so much ❤️❤️❤️

[FlopyArt]

It’s Awesome how creative you were as a kid!!! I mean the plastic thing with the flash light was brilliant! Now days it makes me realize how much we have… You are one of my biggest inspirations keep it up!!!!

[yuziiiiiii]

I haven't watch you for 4 years... I still can't believe you do FlipBook... Andy deserves more!!

this dude literally bought a plane ticket to ask for paper

[ml-_-]

I love how he went 900miles just to ask for paper and a pencil XD That shows and PROVES he does hard work for his videos

[hoblob]

this proves you don't need material or any expensive stuff you just need a strong will :)

[psyberdelicxp]

The part about "trying to think of something to draw/animante is real af. As a kid we just start without any reason or idea. As an adult, we turned creativity into a product/commodity. reconnecting with the spontaneity and joy is a conscious step, and an intentional practice. I teach my students that art is the physical manifestation/leftovers of creative joy.

[chelsearussell]

Your mom did a great job flipping that flip book. As always your flip books are a lot of fun! My favorite was the high five. 🖐

[elianimated]

Awesome! This goes to show that you don’t need profesional equipment to create amazing work! 😃

When creative people are so creative they find a creative way to save money or not spend any money at all on equipment for their creative work before they even start making their creative piece.

In other words when he was a kid he was being creative before he even started making flip books and found a creative solution to solve the money problem so that he can actually make flipbooks


That's what impresses me about creative people. They are able to find creative solutions and are able to make something out of nothing and I just can't fathom how they can do that
