A flipbook is the simplest form of all animation techniques. It consists of a sequence of drawings that when “flipped” through by the viewer will create the illusion of motion. Flipbooks allow us to explore the elements of time and sequence as well as the chance to quickly test our ideas. All students and fans of cartoons, television or film will develop a greater understanding and appreciation of what it means to bring your images to life.

Animation Inspiration is offering students and fans the ability to purchase or download flipbook scenes created by professional animators (currently working at the top of their field for studios such as Disney, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon etc.)  These scenes give you the unique opportunity to follow how these pros approach their work taking into account all the principles of animation. Visually study how to apply all the standard techniques such as:

Stretch and squash
Follow through
Overlap
Pose to pose vs. straight ahead
Balance,timing etc.

Even in this multimedia, interactive world, flipbooks are an important tool for anyone interested in bringing still images into a moving narrative. Still widely used throughout animation teaching institutions and film schools they are the magic seeds of movie making.
