To make a flick
book take a sheet of A4 and fold it four times. Then open it up and
carefully cut it along the lines into sixteen pieces.
Draw a face with
the facial expressions changing over the sixteen pieces or alternatively
the path of a ball or an object. Then staple the sixteen drawings together
along one edge. You now have a flick book. This is very crude but serves
to show exactly how cell frame animation works.
The
next step is to look at how this process can be adapted for computer
animation using graphic files.
