Awesome Andymation

As we’ve seen before, Andymation is an expert at making flipbook animations. To make One Flipbook to Rule Them All, he’s collaborating with his community to create a hand-drawn version of Fellowship of the Ring. The three-hour-long movie will require more than 100,000 individual frames, created by roughly 1600 fans. Want to help? Sign up for the project here.

Andymation is known for his creative flipbook animations. He once created a flipbook smaller than a penny, but that wasn’t good enough for Andy, so he made an even smaller one. It took some work to get the camera and lens setup right; then, he got to work drawing each tiny frame with a sharp pencil. After that came the challenge of stacking them.
