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 agree, that is definitely one of the coolest flip books I’ve ever seen! I love how it’s like 3D!

[stealthpoint]

The amount of patience needed to make these is insane. I could never do this.

[nusaibaalam]

Japan is creative in even small details. That makes me love the country

Google translate has definitely gotten better since I was studying Japanese 10 years ago (back when I tried to use it to read an email from my Japanese host mom and it said she was talking about measles...D: lol), but it's still not perfect. Since I've been trying to improve my language skills this year, I thought I'd try translating the packaging for you.

Note: I’ve adapted some of the translation to make the meaning and nuances clearer to English speakers. Unfortunately, like Google, I'm not fluent. So, to anyone who knows a more accurate translation, feel free to correct me! ;)

もうひとつの研究所
パラパラブックス　Vol. 7
クリスマスの足音

Mōhitotsu no Kenkyūjo (This is the name of the flipbook maker, you could translate it to “Another Lab”.)
Flipbook Vol. 7
Christmas Footsteps (More specifically, the sound of footsteps.)

Top:



鳥の背中に生えている塔で、今日もこそこそと自分たちなり
の愉快なプレゼントを作っています。

Mōhitotsu no Kenkyūjo is one of the “Christmas present factories” run by Santa Claus, CEO.
Away from Santa’s oversight, slightly strange presents are the only things we make in this mysterious lab.
Today as well, in a tower placed in the center of a bird’s back, we’re secretly making wonderful presents. (The “tower” is referring to the company’s logo.)

Bottom:
しんしんしん
雪が降る音よりも小さな音。

あっちをフワフワ、こっちをキラキラ。
さあ今年もクリスマスが歩いてやって来たよ。

“shin-shin-shin” ( _the sound of snow falling softly_ )
A sound that is softer than the sound of falling snow...
Once you’re able to hear it, you know there’s no doubt that Christmas is nearly here.
Over there, everything is soft and fluffy! Over here, everything is sparkling!
Oh, Christmas has come again this year!

I could only see a bit of the back, but it looks like it’s mostly just the price and product details. :)

At first I thought this had transparent plastic pages that were drawn on. Have you ever seen/made something like that? Would definitely add another dimension to work with.

[chocochipcookie]

The flipbook is so creative, It definitely brought a smile to my face

[kiitkaat]

My jaw literally dropped at 0:37, thats so cool!!

[pizzatime]

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

"Christmas feet"
Dan Schneider: *I've been summoned*

[pyramix]

That is just the coolest thing. I love how it is like magical and opens a 3D door!

[zayanbari]

When will the flibbook kit be restocked I really want one please.

1:15 Oh, Google Translate! You never disappoint!

[daniellemilligan]

Omg that's so Kool, I didnt think flip books could get more innovative. People creativity will never cease to amaze me. Can't wait for flip book fest!!!

[darrylw.thomas]

What a great book! Looks like Japan is leading the way in flipbooks 👍

[Cubezid]

Hey Andymation, I have a challenge, you have to make a flipbook using a pencil. Then make the same one but with a pen. Then with a paintbrush, and any other writing (or get creative and use household items, like toothpaste :P). Do this 6 times. Then have us vote on your flipbooks. Whichever one has the most votes. You have to use the writing utensil used to make it to make your next flipbook. Please Do This. :)

[ndrito]

Im so happy you made a video about a japanese flipbook i love the laungauge and place sooo much.

[animationeers]

Wow, that is really cool. I never imagined a flipbook could contain anything besides paper and drawings!

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The West: does something
Japan: *Anything you can do, I can do better*
