Flipbook number 1

I was going through a book that had a flipbook as one of it’s exercises. I decided since I was going digital i’d do it with a tablet and a piece of software, DrPetter’s program to be exact. So to keep in the mode of a real flipbook I decided no onion skinning (if you’re doing the edge of a phone book or whatever, you’re not necessarily going to see the images below) and straight ahead animation. What results is something that looks like a grade-schooler did it. But I think it’s fun. Note the video may be a bit hard to see as it was just on white background and I sized the video to be a quarter size to upload to youtube.

    I don’t have any graphic animation experience, only a little drafting background, so I don’t know why I keep coming back. Must be something magic in the water.

    Anyway, I watched your casual animation three times in a row and couldn’t stop laughing. Cute little squishy blob gets munched by second blob that falls from the sky!

    Thanks :-) Everyone likes animation I think. It’s just fun to watch, even obviously lame excuses for animations like mr squishy blob there :-)

    I’m not much more than a glorified animation fan myself.

    I’ll keep posting my little experiments and things, and you can watch if you have nothing better to do.
