Handmade Flipbooks

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

UPDATED, August 26, 2008. After all the great feedback and general interest in the making of these flipbooks, I thought I’d answer some questions and present more detail with the process. The following is the original post with added details and other thoughts.

I can’t quite remember how I got the idea, but I thought it would be fun to create some flipbooks based off of video I had shot. The challenge was to be able to efficiently process the frames from a 3-5 second clip, have them printed by a photography shop, and assemble them as easily as possible.

As a heavy After Effects user, I wanted to create a project template that would input video from my camera and quickly export out a sequence of frames for print. I didn’t have a decent office printer at the time, plus I like the quality of a professionally developed print, so my output would need to be in a format that a photography shop could handle. I usually send my digi-pics to Ritz Photo, but any photo shop will work.

A 4×6 print is the cheapest format I could choose, so that became my output size. However, I felt a full 4×6 flipbook would be a little too big and clunky – plus pricey when you’re getting 100 or so prints made per book. I played around in Photoshop and created a template that fit 4 frames of 640×480 video (from my Panasonic Lumix digicam) per sheet. Unless I had an HD camera, the scaled down frame also made for a better quality shot.

With the crop marks created in Photoshop, I produced a template within After Effects that takes a video as input, and through some expressions I wrote, seperates and numbers each frame to a specific quadrant on the 4×6 print, and then outputs a sequence of JPGs. The following is a sample of one such print:

One thing to keep in mind when setting up your video in After Effects are the parts of the frame that will be hidden by the spine. As you can see below, the viewable area for the final flipbook is smaller than the full video frame. So if there is important action on the left side of the frame, it might be obscured by the spine and the fact you’re never really opening up the book – just flipping through it quickly. I added a layer in the project which estimates the viewable area, as seen in the lower right photo.

In the AE project, I have setup two output comps, one for a 15fps export and a 30fps export. Both export about 25 high-quality 4×6 prints, meaning the final flipbook will be about 100 pages long – a good size without feeling too thick. This means the 15fps comp will export a 6.6 second long book while the 30fps comp will get you a little over 3 seconds.  Of course you can edit the comp as you please and make it longer or shorter, creating a thicker or thinner book.

I chose a matte finish for the prints – I felt the glossy finish would pick up too many finger prints, as this is an interactive object. Of course, if you print your own at home, there are a slew of other options, such and double sided printing, so you could potentially have two flipbooks in one.

Once the prints are made, the next step is to cut out the four frames from each print, a bit of a time-consuming process involving an exacto knife and ruler. I’m sure there are better ways to cut up the book, and any ideas are appreciated. If you have access to a paper guillotine, it might speed things up a lot.

Once you have your stack, the final step is to bind the book. Clamping the pages together, I drove two holes with an electric hand drill, which turns out not to be as easy as I thought – it takes a lot of finesse (and a file) to make a clean cut. One reader wrote in a suggestion to use a specialty paper drill, which has a hollow tube and sharp edge to make a clean hole. If you have access to one of those, that would be highly recommended.

I found some discarded leather at a second-hand shop that worked well as a wrap around the spine, and ordered some 1″ length brass Chicago screws (also called screw posts) online. Steel, or another hard metal will also work – I would just stay away from the aluminum kind, as they strip easily when tightening. If you make your book longer or shorter, you’ll need to make sure you have the proper length screws – a tight fit is necessary.

After making a few, I would probably consider adding to the template a version that uses two frames per print, so the final book is more horizontal. You would have to double the amount of prints to be made, but this would be the way to go for HD or widescreen footage, or in SD footage where you need to see the entire frame.

Here’s a few final products I made for friends and family:

And here’s the AfterEffects project file (CS3) if you want to try creating your own (UPDATED August 18, 2008. It was missing the PSD containing the cropmarks. Thanks for letting me know.): flipbook_template.zip

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. Keep them coming and send me photos of the ones you’ve created!

Several readers mentioned using Photoshop CS3 to create a flipbook since it now has video capabilities. This is a great idea, especially if an action or script can be created to speed up the process. I just chose After Effects since I’m familiar with it.

  11. I really like this effect and idea. Why not just print to a stock size photograph instead of doing all the cuts? It seems that an online printer could do 3-5 seconds for less than $20. Then you only need to convert the video frame-by-frame, print and bind.

  41. A few questions if you don’t mind sharing:

    1. Are the images you use in these examples on actual photo paper or printed to a heavy stock paper?

    2. How many sheets are you using per flipbook? (Did you learn trial/error that X was too few and Y was too many?)

    3. A few of the samples look like non-glossy finish – is that preferred?

    4. What method did you use to cut them (I’m making the assumption here that your photos are full size (3×5 or 4×6) and must be cut to those dimensions shown (and what are they?).

    THANKS!

  43. One more question: Assuming video is 30 fps, what did you code for your video grab – every 5 frames, every 10? 5 seconds of video would equal 150 pictures and your stacks don’t look to be that thick. Thanks again for any answers you can provide!

  63. I did one after seeing your examples as a test and was happy with it. My video was about 10 second long, and ended up with about 95 pages.

    I actually liked the size better when you have 2 per 4×6. It’s the perfect size for a flipbook. Also the trick with drilling nice holes is to drill them in a piece of wood first, then clamp the wood around the pictures. As long as both front and back have wood supporting it then the holes end up nice and clean. (The first set I tried came out terrible before I did that)

    I’m using CS2 so couldn’t use your template, so I ended up doing it all by hand with Windows Movie Maker and CS2. Very long and tedious. I think I need to write some automated tasks to make it quicker.

    Thanks for the examples, they are awesome and I’m already planning out a bunch of little gifts!

  84. For you folks that don’t have AE, you can use PS CS3. Go to File_Import_Video Frames to Layers. From there, you can choose to limit the amount of frames to import. Looks like every 3-5 frames should work. This will import each frame into a layer. Then you can take it from there on the way you want to size it and print.

  93. Easy way to get this set up to print in PS CS3: (after you have a video saved to your computer

    1.File -> Import -> Video Frames to Layers. Open your video. The more detailed you want your flipbook to be, the higher the frames should be set at. Now each frame of your flipbook is a separate layer.

    2. Switch the workspace to video/film. Now (in the little animation pane) you can see what your flipbook will look like finished when you press play. (I suggest switching all the times to .1 for it to seem realistic.)

    3.Switch back to normal workspace. Make sure that your layers are all in the size you want them to be in when you print them. If not, fix them.

    4. File -> Scripts -> Export Layers to Files. Save them somewhere handy. Make them jpeg.

    This will save each layer (each frame of your flipbook) as a separate image to whatever location you specify. You now have your flipbook all framed out, previewed, and ready to print.

  95. Oooo, this is such a cool idea. VirtualDub will make a jpeg sequence out of an AVI file. And then you could use Photo Quality paper in your printer I have an HP that does “borderless” printing and it cost me less than $100. No cropping means there’d be very minimal errors in image alignment.

    I’ve got to try this! Thanks for posting.

    Comment by Servant — August 21, 2008 @ 1:13 pm

  97. Also you can get special drills for paper that look more like a hollow tube with a sharp edge. Mount that in a drill press and you should get the most beautiful holes. That ought to work better than a helical wood drill.

    Comment by TheOctopus — August 21, 2008 @ 1:18 pm

  98. Got a little tired of waiting for answers (no offense – impatient maker here) so I went ahead and did one using my best-guess attack – I used my Pinnacle 12 software to grab individual frames for 4 seconds of video – 120 frames. I’m not a graphic artist but I have an old version of Flash that I’m familiar with so I created 2 layers – one to hold the photo and one to build a frame around it with guidelines for cutting that extend to the edge (just in case the photo development has the photo slightly off balance). I export the image as a jpeg and move on to the next one. Took about 30 minutes to grab the video frames and about 1 hour to convert all to jpegs using my Flash template. I printed them out today and they look great – gonna drill and bind this weekend. I had the pictures developed as 4×6 with only 1 picture per photo but my images are slightly larger, maybe 3×4 inches? As it is right now, the stack of 120 photos works great… but I imagine it’ll look better cut and bound.

  145. This is an awesome tutorial – thanks!

    I wanted to add that I’ve made flipbooks in the past (used flipbook software that I bought somewhere) and then bound them with zip-ties. You make a rectangle out of 4 zip-ties, and then tighten around one end. See an example here: http://flickr.com/photos/invalt/399498424/

    The zip-ties hold the pages securely, and it’s faster and cleaner than drilling. Not quite as nice an appearance as the Chicago posts, but does the trick…

I tried a couple of test punches using a standard hole puncher but the hole was bigger than the diameter of the screw posts – not a big deal if you clamp down hard with the screw posts on the pictures after squaring them up, but over time (as more people flip the book), the pictures will become misaligned.

  212. Excellent idea. I still maintain my sanity at boring meeting by drawing moving cannonballs, walking stick-men etc on successive post-it sheets but your version takes it to a much more imaginative and rewarding level.

  213. For anyone that can’t be bothered with the DIY option, I run a company called “Flickaclip” in the UK that will take your video clip and post you a printed flicker (flip) book.

  217. Thanks so much for the idea. Been brainstorming, assembling the parts, and working on it off and on for weeks now and I’m finally done!
    I used quicktime pro to break a roughly 5 second video down into about 170 pics, of which I used 100. Resized the pics so that I could print onto 4×6, 2 frames per page with a bit of the left hand side reserved for the binding. Came out with more of a widescreen feel this way though I’ll be interested to see if the paper becomes more “bent” over time given the extra length.
    I purchased the screw posts and leather at Michael’s, and brought the screw posts with me for reference to a Sir Speedy’s print shop to have them drill the holes. They only charged $2.00!
    Again, thanks a bunch. This is going to make an excellent gift.

  223. My girlfriend showed me your site about a year ago and I was so inspired by it. I’ve made a couple of flipbooks for her and friends and family and they’ve been such a hit! It takes me about a couple of hours to make but they’re worth it for all the amazed reactions and big smiles. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

  224. Paper stacks will drill better if they are clamped between two wood scraps- drills as if it were a solid piece, without ragging the edges- or disasters!

  225. Haha, I see that you attended that Sasquatch music festival. Great call on the flipbooks!

  228. I loved this, so I made my own with my home printer. http://www.iheartswitch.com/blog/holiday-photo-flip-book#comment-786 Instead of using a drill, I suggest using a hole punch, especially if all your pictures are perfectly cut. It takes a wee bit longer, but I found it really accurate.
