Flipbook Cartoon

A flip book is a collection of a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are flipped, the pictures appear to animate. This is one of the animation methods.

A flip book cartoon is a type of animation made using the piled up papers, where the picture appears to animate. There are various types of flip book including the preparation by individuals at the end of the note or book by scribbling for playing purpose, to the books that are supplied in printed form. There are various flip books, starting from the simple animation of moving points and lines to the elaborate animation using the images. Though both are primitive animations, the improvement made in these simple animations are called as cartoon film.
The flipbook animation film “Pendulum” created for the comical character Tekken (Japanese name for the term “Iron Fist”) was released as an official video clip of the rock band and MUSE of Britain. 


 
This flipbook cartoon was originally produced for the television program, and after the program was broadcast the emotional story becomes a talk of the town. Once the animation was uploaded to the YouTube it becomes the popular animation all over the world immediately. By using the music “Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption)” of the same band as the BGM for this work, it is said that the rumor of animation will reach the band artists soon.




The MUSE band after actually seeing the work in youtube got the impression of the height of perfection, and came to the idea of releasing is as an official video clip of this musical composition. This band was very glad that they made this wonderful video of Tekken (Japanese name for the term “Iron Fist”) that arouses the imagination. They thought it was very wonderful to see their music interpreted in such a wonderful way, and have commented to collaboration again if there is a chance. It was decided that the video clip will be distributed all over the world including North America and Europe from 31st. 




It is said that a new animation for about 1 min 30 sec was drawn for Tekken (Japanese name for the term “Iron Fist”) when making the official video clip. It will be soon officially announced that the complete version of "Pendulum" was produced using 1620 frames of the original image and took about 60 days. The Tekken “(Pendulum)” is the work that depicts the life of a man and women, containing various elements such as love, youth, frustration, suffering etc. 



During the creation of this flipbook cartoon, lot of music was listened to find which one will match for the BGM. And finally the MUSE (Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3) met the fate! When they first listened this, they thought “This is it!” and “Only this is!”, and then decided. After that become the fan, and listening to MUSE nearly every day till now! The Flipbook cartoon “Pendulum” using the BGM of this MUSE has become one of the treasures for me now. Please listen to this by all means.
