This was my first flip-book. The hardest part i discovered was figuring out how many increment pages to do for transitions. If i could redo it i would have made certain parts transition slower, so in effect it could be flipped faster or at a more natural pace, i feel like now you have to slow the flipping down to understand it. coming up with the concept of what to draw wasn't that hard, even though i changed it slightly as i began to practice drawing in another book. I was originally gonna start with a rain drop, then zoom out in effect and then see the ocean. but in my practicing it was too difficult/ i don't have the patience. I used adobe Flash in the very beginning. i made about 40 blank keyframes, and went through and drew out the random changes. it was crude, with barely no transitions but helped me form ideas. i hope it wasn't too confusing that you had to flip the book half way through. but the boat worked better the long way and the tree the tall way. probably wouldn't do i tree if i knew how hard it would be, through i used the help of a tree cutout which i made so the consistency would remain somewhat intact. overall i felt pretty confident of the final result, and happy for it being my first one.
Comments
Dylan Villiati : I Like the idea of the helicopter. words are good, but i think maybe it would be more interesting if he made the words do something like the FREE balloons thats was fun. i like the pen for the beginning. very primitive feeling. would have been cool if there was color slowly added as he landed on the island or something. some of the words get lost in the page folds.
Andrea Boltwood : The small paper makes the flipbook limiting in space. the idea and transitions are good. i love the bird nest with eggs into the frying pan with the eggs. its mean but creative.
Cheryl Gibbins: simple but good. looks good fast. wish it went longer. like the color
Greg Cochiaro: Love the idea of something escaping the page. fist very impressive. i love how the lighting and the pushing is so simple but very well done the little guy suddenly was confusing. i wished you kept it in the escaping perspective.
Ellery McCardle: has a title which gives an understanding: Trees against the Forces of Nature. very consistent, and the repetition never gets old because its always different. love the color. nothing is disappearing in the cracks or anything, very clear. happy ending . i like how you have the tree grow every time, rather than say just appearing again.
Kasey: took a second to get it but after that i loved the movement of the little ant. speed of flipping doesn't really matter. well executed.
Gina Moccio: loved the pinnochio- excellently drawn. wished there was more of an expression change on the face. and maybe more clarity as to what was going on later. took me awhile to figure out which way to start. bird seemed random didn't interact with the nose.
Brian: confusing what way to flip it. i like THE END animation. good job.
Maria Cano: the photos give it a new feeling, and almost changed the assignment. loved the subject matter regardless.
Michael: Love the cutting through the page. i love the varied subject matter. certain transition could use some work, like the seahorse into the eye, though the concept is interesting. the gun into flower was so creative and very well done. overall great job.
Jessica: Awesome drawings and use of color. used the whole page which worked well. character is amazing. the transitions were slow enough that you didn't have to make it artificially slow.
Cara: love the color, and the fact that you use the whole page. the scale could maybe be changed for visibility but overall good. the balls when together look like a butterfly, could have been cool transition if you made it so. like how the beginning and end are similar.
