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

No way he can draw on that, thats proof of his skill

[BoogerDad]

the lego hands flipping through it was such a nice touch. much appreciated ;)

[InnocentDoodles]

Fun Fact: Suprisingly, the limiting factor of human fine motor skills is actually your vision, not your hands!

[cowboybarbaryn]

Ok the flip book is impressive but the editing and video production here is genuinely phenomenal. You frame and light your shots so well.

I think it's really neat how a sheet of paper looks perfectly flat and smooth to the naked human eye, but under a microscope, it looks like a terrain map. I love looking at the microscopic world.

You should do a REALLY REALLY big flip book

[Danny.._]

the reason it was so hard to draw a straight line at that scale is because of the paper grain. if you want to try it again, you should try a different paper, the smoothest you can find. a higher grade copy paper is probably good enough, but if not, a lot of european and asian papers are coated, making them much smoother

1:37 "I am a perfectionist." *puts the tie on to the side*

Edit: ty for the likes

I hope he makes it to the Guinness World Records book of 2024, because this is so unbelievably amazing how he managed to get the results usable.

[SpaceMothMars]

6:20 as a person who is absolutely obsessed with mini versions of things, you have no idea how much this brings me joy

[yeorose]

Damn my eyes hurts by seeing how tiny that paper is😭how can he draw that...much appreciated his hard work lmao ...salute to u bro 🎉🫡

[tailslegendAnimations]

He makes these kind of “how I made this” videos so much more entertaining with all his expression (the talking tree was peak entertainment)

[treyg]

That comparison to the penny BLEW MY MIND. Great stuff man as always, thanks for still being such an inspiring creator!

[Eclipse]

FINALLY, someone who puts the cereal first, not the milk. You should get an award 🥣

[Captainjack]

Ay brodda i feel ya perfectionist-ic effects brodda.

[ducktaledudette]

DAAAANG the production quality of this video was insane!! Nicely done Andy!

[eddychim]

You have inspired so many people to become animators by making them create flip books of their own, flip books are the form of traditional hand drawn animation in books without the need of cameras, one of the oldest forms of animation along with Stop-Motion, right before computers created animation softwares like Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, Krita, Source Film Maker, Blender, etc.

Is it just me or is this something you’d make on the toilet out of toilet paper

[naturequeene]

This is awesome and adorable. And I could FEEL the intense frustration through the screen. Almost like a sensation of bugs crawling on me and a desire to scream. The dedication is unreal.

10:35 Love the Zoolander reference 😂. “What is this, a flip book (totally not a center) for ants?”
