Flip Books

This video is of my first flip book. The assignment was to show a transformation. For some reason I really hate seafood and sea creatures, but they also intrigue me, so I consider them for my art quite often. What happens basically in this book is that the character is eating calamari and then turns into a squid. I guess the moral of the story is: You are what you eat! Har har har!



This video is the second flip book. The assignment for this one was to use inspiration from Einstein's Dreams, and base the book off of that. I decided that it would be hard to convey one of those stories in a three second flip book, so the best way to show a story was to use both books in tandem. This book is the "alternate universe," so to speak, of the first book. The character starts out by eating the calamari, but I guess it doesn't agree with him, so he throws up everywhere.



Critique encouraged!!! Not only of the flip books themselves, but also of the videos. I was thinking abou re-shooting them in natural light and with a black background instead of the boring tiled floor. What do you think?
