Animation on the go

Remember when you were a little kid and you would get a small blank notebook and make a series of similar drawings to then flip the pages at a rapid rate and make it seem as if you just drew a cartoon. Well, you no longer need a pencil to do so. FlipClip allows you to create a short 30 second video, upload it to their site and for a nominal fee, they will send you a book with each page representing a frame of your video.

This is revolutionary as it allows you to design any kind of video, be it something you record or something you draw in a computer. The limitations are the 30 seconds. You can now illustrate and animate in flash, send out your movie to this folks and have that converted to a flip book for you to entertain your kids and family.

The bottom line is that these folks are capitalizing on an old idea by using the power of the computer. It is amazing the ideas that some come up with, I can only wish I was this creative. To find out more about flip book and flip clip, visit www.flipclips.com
