The Flip Book.


Also known as a flick book, it uses the persistence of vision, as the book works like animation, by drawing multiple sketches in a blank page book, the pictures must be somewhat linear in that you've traced them from the previous page, now using your thumb, scroll through the pages by flipping it.






Flipbooks can take allot of time to make and requires patience. Now this opens up the possibility to make more of them and sell them. John Branes Linnett created the flipbook in 1868, it was known as the Kineograph, which meant moving picture. Aside from this version of the flip book, there is a similar device in the form of a contraption known as a Mutoscope. Which is a giant looping flip book inside a tombola, with a visor so you can see the flipbook play out like a film, the down side is, to get it to work you must crack a lever on the side.
