Image - Flip Book

Photobucket



EVALUATION
Looking at the idea of shape and form, I began by investigating natural forms until I decided on the shape of a leaf. The decision for the flip book was because I wanted to create something that represented a life cycle. In the animation the leafs veins are slowly constructed and the leaf turns green and becomes whole. The leaf then fades to brown and deconstructs. The animation was created in After Effects and outputted as a Jpeg Sequence. These were then printed onto trace as acetate was not available at the time. If I were to create another flipper I’d probably look into trace however the costing of the material is quite high, around ten times that of trace.
