I’ve enjoyed seeing Ben Z.’s flip books on youtube. It’s nice to see others who like to make them. I also do a version of flip books in an, new, innovative multi-panel format. My Dragonfly Flipz books can be seen on YouTube.com and Gametrailers.com (key work: flip books) as well as my own website. Take a peek I think you’ll find them interesting.
I’ve posted a free (downloadable PDF) “Halo 3 – Flame thrower” sample Dragonfly Game Flipz on my web site.

In the mean time, best of everything to Ben, and please keep up the good work.

I remember doing this with matchstick figures when i was VERY young………it probably engendered more genuine creativity and happiness than if i were to sit in front of thousands of dollars of worth of hi-tech gear now. INTRUIGING how such a pre-historic, but still workable idea can still make an impact in the 21ST CENTURY.

Jerry had a good post a while back about “real-time” animation at the Asian Cup ceremonies. Someone mentioned flipbooks as another example, and I was glad he did. Another of course is the zoetrope.

Gregory Barsamian is an artist that makes sculptures move in real-time using large-scale zoetropes that work with strobes. He had an exhibit at the CAC in Cincinnati almost a decade ago, and I was blown away by it.

Nothing like the back-to-basics thrill of holding moving drawings in one’s hand.

It’s nice to see some good, old fashioned, pen and paper art.
