Description
This is a preview!
Animation is here: [link] I wasn't sure if this should go under Flash at all, seeing as it's a flipbook rather than anything done in that program. Either way, I've seen a couple flipbook animations floating around DA under this heading, so I'll keep it here until I'm told otherwise.
Anyways! That 580-page flipbook I've been talking about for the past month or so.
Finally found a place that could host it's gigantic 79 MB file size! It makes it look a bit grainy around the edges of the lines, but I guess that's to be expected...looks pretty much as it should, comparing the hosted place to when I play the original file on my computer. x3 I really really like how the music (quite unexpectedly) synched up with what was going on. 
I mean, this isn't even the original music I was gonna USE. It was just something a guy at my apprenticeship class had on his iPod. But it fits a billion times better than my music woulda, so woot. 
Life's funny like that. :BAnyways, enjoy what is basically the reason I uploaded so little in January.
EDIT: Just found out now that the music is Celtic Moon, theme music from Final Fantasy IV. Thanks, ~CrimsonHellkite !

awwwa! ^__________^ Your proportions in your flip book are just so accurate! And the movements are very well done! They just match up so straightly with the others when the oage turns, and doesn't squiggle in different places all over the page when you make another copy of it. I'm actually doing one of these myself now, ^_^ So I know what ya went through. But god, yours is just so exact!! TT__TT I should have done a simpler movie...

I thought about going over it in highlighters (if they made ever made a peach highlighter for skin xP) but the thought of even TOUCHING those cards again (they're in a box, in envelopes, in a closet at the moment xD) is wince-worthy enough for me. >.o (Heaven forbid the thought of EFFORT!

Well, before this, we'd done some quick full-page flipbooks in an electronic art/animation class at school, and in this extracurricular class, we'd done one 3-second flipbook as well.
