Flip BookCreating a Flip Book will count towards

meeting Outcome 2 of the Unit: Creating basic animation effects in traditional formats.

Flip BookIt will also help to developing your understanding of using sequential images in the creation of animation

and the principles of persistence of vision. This should make understanding more advanced animation

techniques easier.

computer animation.

Flip BookThe simplest way of making an animation

without using a camera.

Flip BookLandscape format is best (better for digitising

later).

Flip BookBegin drawing your character on the last

page of the flip book (this will be the start of the animation).

Flip BookIdeally your paper will be thin enough that when you move onto the next page you can see through to the

position of the character on the first page and draw it again with a slight adjustment. This is frame two of

your animation.

Flip BookAnd so on… the distance between drawings

will determine the rate your animation “plays” at. The greater the distance the

quicker the action.

Flip BookKeep your drawing simple – remember this is a simple experiment in animation timing, not

design.
