probably not worth the manufacturing effort, but if you could make a book that flips on both sides, with different clips, that would potentially be novel enough to pass virality coefficients.
You'd need some radically different zig-zag binding process ... sounds like a lot of effort but might pay off.
Just to be clear I'm not saying duplex print, I'm saying flip right and flip left, same side up
- kamens 2y agoFun idea! Building on that: there's a common children's magic trick involving a flip book that magically "colors" its pages (https://www.magicinc.net/products/fun-magic-coloring-book?variant=31790913880112&gQT=2 https://www.magicinc.net/products/fun-magic-coloring-book?va...) It works by moving your thumb to a different position while flipping the pages -- every Xth page is cut at slightly different lengths, so when you move your thumb to the next position, different pages become visible during the flip Using this trick you could show multiple different video clips in the flipbook just by moving your thumb to a different spot
- waltbosz 2y agoI love that magic trick, but wouldn't that significantly thicken the cardstock flipbook ?
- kristopolous 2y agowould it? I assume the trick is the sheets are slightly trapezoidal. Shouldn't that be enough? Of course you're doubling the page count regardless of the approach ... that's likely unavoidable.
- apparent 2y agoThis sounds like a Svengali deck, which just has every other card slightly shorter. Then when you flip from one direction it seems like all of the cards are different, and from the other direction, all of the cards appear the same. Would be easy to do, but in one direction your hand would tend to block the view of the cards.
