Andymation Flipbook Kit is very nice product. The joy on my ten year old daughter’s face, when she rushed in to me with her first flip book, was worth every penny I paid.
Bought for her birthday because she has started to enjoy drawing, I thought this would be a great introduction to animation and story telling, and would be fun. As she was tracing over the running figure example in the pack, I wasn’t convinced she was sold on it.
But once she’d coloured in each of the 24 images and bound them together, she was blown away by the result. Everyone has seen it. We’ve since been talking about ideas she has, we’re looking at YouTube channels for what’s possible and for tips on techniques, and this is doing exactly what I hoped it would.
Everything in the kit is top quality. The binding screws are solid, the paper is a lovely weight and the light is great. I have a 2m usb extension cable and I’d recommend a long cable so that proximity to power and a flat surface isn’t an issue.
