Flip Book -MiniTask

A flip book or flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change. Flip books are often illustrated books for children, but may also be geared towards adults and employ a series of photographs rather than drawings. Flip books are not always separate books, but may appear as an added feature in ordinary books or magazines, often in the page corners. Software packages and websites are also available that convert digital video files into custom-made flip books.

When researching online for examples of flip-books I struggled to find any videos of a photographic flip-book. All the videos I found where of flip-book's that have been animated. This made me think that when I come to making my own flip-book I should take my images in the studio instead of on location; meaning that there aren't ant distractions in the background. The background will just be white, as if it where a piece of paper like on the animated flip-book's.
This is my favourite example of a flip-book that I found online... 


 
I think that this flip-book was flawless, they used 120 frames per second, there's so much attention to detail.




These are the contact sheets of the photos I took in the studio today...








Looking trough these contact sheets I've figured out that I need to use _MG_9646.JPG - _MG_9719.JPG removing a few black shot images in the middle to create my flip-book. 
Here are all the images I am going to need to use to create my flip-book





Now that I know what images I need to use to create my flip-book, I need to print and cut them out so that I can attach them together at the side so you will be able to flick trough the images.
