Creating a flipbook
1. Do some rough sketches for ideas of what you’d like animate
2. Create a storyboard. Start with the first and last frames and fill
in the middle.
3. Work only on the lower half of the page because of visibility
during flipping.
4. Start on the last page. Animation goes from back to front.
5. Animation should move in very small amounts for better
animation.
6. Have fun and be creative!
