Why don't flip books get much respect in the artform? It should, in theory, be considered a more advanced artform than standard 2D drawings.
>>150411137Animationfags genuinely don’t even care about their medium that much, that want to use animation purely as a cheap drug they can disassociate with
>>150411137hey faggot why do you care what other people think? If you like flip books then treat it with respect and go study the medium there's no shortage of flip book artists over the years.>>150411246it's not like OP would ever actually create anything they're just using this thread purely as a cheap drug they can disassociate with.
>>150411137There was a point where flipbooks were an equalizer of sorts, where they allowed anyone to animate without access to specialized cameras and film-making equipment. They were great at that, but that era is over. Anyone with a phone or a computer (and most kids have access to both, these days) can grab free software that supports frames/layers and start pumping out gifs after five minutes of learning. When digital offers ease of creation and ease of distribution, what's the point of working with flipbooks specifically besides the novelty of something physical? Did you gain something from printing out the sheets and flipping them by hand? What about that should still be respected?

>>150411137>takes more effort to make>can't just use any paper you want because some don't flip right>can't just use any size/shape paper you want because it might not flip right>have to flip at a good, consistent speed>hard to record for shit like Youtube>only works a limited number of times due to the bending and your skin oils, making them disposable>costs money for the paper when there's 94.5 billion apps and programs for free that can do it on both PC and mobile>if you go through all this trouble making the flipbook, you might as well just scan it into your PC and animate it digitally instead>if you go through all that trouble putting it on the PC and animating it there, you might as well have not bothered to make it IRL in the first place and just skip straight to digitalI don't think the issue is "not enough respect", it's just an obsolete method of animation.I'd say it's still a valid way for kids to animate for cheap and show their friends at school, but most kids these days have smartphones they could animate on instead and it'd be a lot easier to share with anyway.
>>150411544Because it's real. It's authentic. There is something to be said that you could have done the same thing at any point in human history vs the only thing that can be done with computers.
>>150412662There's nothing real about paper. It's an abomination. Flip rocks or kick sand.
