[Animation work1]Redchasesblue

Inspiration

Marty Cooper who is one of my favorite animator, although he is not famous, but his ideal and handdraw are very interesting and perfect.
I often watch many works on his tumblr.
Marty Cooper creates brief animated shorts by blending traditional cel animation with photos he takes with his iPhone. By using transparent layers he’s able to create characters that interact with other objects in the background and foreground in a method similar to stop motion.
we called “An Ingenious Fusion of Traditional Cel Animation and Photography”
Of course, it’s seems like COMIC STRIPS

FLIP BOOKS

Flip books are essentially a primitive form of animation. It is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate. It is called “persistence of vision” 

At first, people used flip books to check is this animation could move fluency.

But for some sellers，they considered flip books as a toy or novelty for children. And flip books are not always separate books, but may appear as an added feature in ordinary books or magazines, often in the page corners.

Flip books like how to repeat these motion and easy to understand. 

For example, in animation,people draw motion on these picture and make a flip book to let them move.

The horse always running and the girl always dancing. They all repeat these motion.

360° Flipbook by Yusuke Oono

Japanese architect Yusuke Oono creates this amazing 360° flipbook. It is a really amazing work and very beautiful!!

This flip book is a Fairy tale book “Snow white”

He laser cut the designs. When closed, the small booklet appears like an ordinary palm-sized book, but when you open it and flip the pages around, every direction reveals new details within the tiny carvings, creating an entirely 3-dimensional world.
