Hi everyone,
I am currently working on an animation which is on 12f animation paper, but I need to create the look of a flip-book. Does anyone know the best way I could achieve this. I have tried drawing on lower-grade animation paper and scanning in as grey scale so that on playback in Flash or Premiere I get a shadow effect from the scan.
If anyone can offer suggestions I would very much appreciate it.
Many thanks

I suggest you strobe the images... By this I mean... Put drawing one for two frames, then a blank one for 1 frame, then drawing 2 for 2 frames, then a blank for 1 frame, and so on and so on.... This will give a neat effect that might resemble flipping drawings (I think). I have never done this, but it seems like something that might work in my little brain.

Thanks for that suggestion. I will try it out and let you know how it goes, I may even upload it so that you can check it out.

How do you mean? Do you want to be able to see the book itself, or your thumb flipping the pages? Why not shoot some video of a flipbook animation in action, and study it frame by frame.
Here is a collection of flipbooks, if you want some material to study.
