Video Transcript

"In our flip books we've created a number of frames and we'd like to check and see how we're doing. So, it's a simple as picking up a stack of cards and flipping through it. Looking for a consistency and checking for speed. If, you see that the speed is too fast, one shape all the sudden turns to the next without a smooth transition, you may want to add more frames. By adding more frames you'll need to draw more in betweens. Stack your cards, your first and your subsequent frames on a light table or a light source. Add a blank frame and interpolate between the two. This will continue for quite some time. Periodically you can put the new frame in and check again."
