607 flipbooks

We had a blast at Maker Faire the weekend of May 3rd and 4th.

18,000 pages in two days! We recorded and printed 607 flipbooks in two days. That's over an hour of video, recorded in six second chunks. 607 flipbooks means people cut out and assembled over 18,000 individual flipbook pages, an impressive display of dexterity and patience.

thanks The response to F2F has been gratifying. It was fun seeing people get goofy in front of a camera. Several have emailed kind words since Maker Faire. Thank you all. We are glad so many enthusiastic makers stopped by to record a video clip and even stuck around to cut and assemble their flipbooks. a couple nice pages of fellow makers: ARTOO-DETOO Flickr photos

print more copies of your Maker Faire flipbook We hope to soon make color copies of the flipbooks recorded at Maker Faire available for purchase online so that people can print more copies at home. Once we get that ready, we will email those who signed up to be notified.

flipbook software Many have asked if they can get a copy of the software. The F2F software was designed more for an exhibit setting, not so much for personal use. It also requires a lot of tender care to get it to work right. We don't have plans to make the software available to individuals. However, there are several good options for you to make more of your own flipbooks: FlipBook for Macintosh - prints QuickTime files as flipbook sheets motionbox - online service to print flipbooks flipclips - another online service more flipbook sites: Fliptomania Flippies
