Flipin' for Flip books

A flip book is basically a series of related pictures that vary gradually from one to the next. Alone, each picture is just that, a picture...but when they are put together in the right order they become legit animation and can be pretty awesome and creative. Check this out...

The first known flip book was created by a guy named John Barnes Linnett. He patented his creation under the name kineograph, or "moving picture." While flip books are mainly items that you might make in elementary school, they can be elaborate and amazing (like the one shown above), and they do have an important place in the history of cinema. So how do we make one?
