Kraak & Smaak’s Flipbook Video
April 11, 2008 5:38 pm
Just when you think everything that could possibly be done with old-school flipbooks has been done, along comes a refreshing example of the technique’s versatility. The new Kraak & Smack music video, “Squeeze Me”, is directed by Dutch filmmakers André Maat and Superelectric. |
I’m not sure which one came first but have you seen the new Presidents of the United States video? http://www.vimeo.com/751184
I’d really hate to think of Weird Al as a thief.
Whichever came first, it’s hard to get Second-Person movies to work as well as these are.
There was a super-awesome flipbook film like this at the Ottawa festival last September… I forget the name of it. Is it by the same folks? It was really impressive.
There’s something similar in Adjustement by Ian McKinnon (http://ianmackinnon.co.uk/adjustment).
Lots of great flipbook things in this shortfilm, my eyes are still flickering.
YES! Adjustment was exactly the one I was talking about. How impressive. Thanks!
