Animated Flip Book — A Loop You Can Hold

Animated flip books: a seamless loop bound as twenty-four registered pages you turn by hand. Slower than a video and far more memorable.

Slower than a video, and harder to forget

An animated flip book is a seamless loop bound as pages. It is not trying to be a video: it is trying to be an object with a motion inside it. People flip it twice — once to see what happens, and once to check that it really does.

Where it beats a clip

  • It can be read one still at a time, which a clip cannot
  • It stops, so you can hold a frame and look at it
  • It can be flipped backwards as the motion reversed
  • It lives at its own address, so it can be sent as a link

The five books on the shelf are all loops — start anywhere and riffle through.
