the lego hands flipping through it was such a nice touch. much appreciated ;)
Nah the name tho😂
Agree!
Yeah, it really lets u feel the scale
yeah but on the smallest one he used an illegal lego thecnique
lol how did i not notice that the first time!?
I think it's really neat how a sheet of paper looks perfectly flat and smooth to the naked human eye, but under a microscope, it looks like a terrain map. I love looking at the microscopic world.
Same!
That’s why we get paper cuts because it’s so ragged
@@Emma_The_Tortoiseshell_Catactually it’s from the edges, not the sheet
I agree!
@@Emma_The_Tortoiseshell_Catthats like saying laying down on cloth is gonna scrap your skin off
Fun Fact: Suprisingly, the limiting factor of human fine motor skills is actually your vision, not your hands!
i love tiny art. i didn’t get into art school because i didn’t have enough in my portfolio that was large enough to show. this video makes me happy
Are you austrian by any chance?
@@DABSTABIT MY GUYS WILD,BRO GOT THE THIRD REICH FLASHBACKS 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
were you German + Austrian?
NO NO
If you love tiny art then you are going to like whats in my pants
No way he can draw on that, thats proof of his skill
Exactly!!

The earlier one was small enough, I can’t believe he was able to successfully do this
6:20 as a person who is absolutely obsessed with mini versions of things, you have no idea how much this brings me joy
sameee (btw 21 min ago!!) they’re so cute!
But the amount of pain it gave me when he put the cereal before the milk 😭😭
Right?! And the fact that they actually had contents to pour. So satisfying! 😅❤
@@derivoidalways cereal , then milk. Don’t be silly!
@@TeraGreene1Nah, then the cereal gets soggy quicker
10:35 Love the Zoolander reference 😂. “What is this, a flip book (totally not a center) for ants?”
Bru
the reason it was so hard to draw a straight line at that scale is because of the paper grain. if you want to try it again, you should try a different paper, the smoothest you can find. a higher grade copy paper is probably good enough, but if not, a lot of european and asian papers are coated, making them much smoother
You should do a REALLY REALLY big flip book
YESSSS
Maybe you want one bigger, but a few hears ago he made a huge one, its his 2nd most popular video
@@bunnniesi think he meant as in a big paper or a wall
@@mrarivaleeWAIT WHAT IF HE MAKES HIS WALL A FLIP BOOK
@@Yuxi_lixiii.that would be awesome
I hope he makes it to the Guinness World Records book of 2024, because this is so unbelievably amazing how he managed to get the results usable.
B4os
For real
Agreed.
You have to pay for that most of thr time
ye
the need to look at something huge rather than the microscopic pages was such a nice touch. like- it shows how we need a change of perspective from time to time. love the work!
14:29 I read this as "banana for sale"
Same lol
That comparison to the penny BLEW MY MIND. Great stuff man as always, thanks for still being such an inspiring creator!
wow
Bro he wants to draw smaller than that 😂😂😂, Will he stop at atomic level or will he go to quantum realm ?😂😂
Yeah
I saw u ❤ that
FINALLY, someone who puts the cereal first, not the milk. You should get an award 🥣
I agree
Fr
What is wrong with you
I’m eating cereal rn
No...whats wrong with YOU@@YourAverageGeometryDasher
Ok the flip book is impressive but the editing and video production here is genuinely phenomenal. You frame and light your shots so well.
THE TINY CEREAL!? WHAT
10:50 i thought you went to go get the milk💀💀
Lol rip💀
💀
DAAAANG the production quality of this video was insane!! Nicely done Andy!
you know its small when you have to use science to make it💀
Looks like i have to use science for bed😢
AYO WHAT
@@alex-td7on 😨
NOOO THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT😭😭😭@@alex-td7on
Bro what the heck?
Came and would have stayed for your flipbook alone, but the technicalities and the "dramatic music scene" and all other details made it SO MUCH COOLER! I love your work and your sense and your humour. This was awesome! ❤❤
This looked really hard to do. Making a straight line was probably the hardest for any of the flip books you have ever done in your life.
You have inspired so many people to become animators by making them create flip books of their own, flip books are the form of traditional hand drawn animation in books without the need of cameras, one of the oldest forms of animation along with Stop-Motion, right before computers created animation softwares like Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, Krita, Source Film Maker, Blender, etc.
“I am a perfectionist” 😂😂 *his tie is crooked* 😂
Thanks for the like!
The reason I subscribed lmao
This is awesome and adorable. And I could FEEL the intense frustration through the screen. Almost like a sensation of bugs crawling on me and a desire to scream. The dedication is unreal.
@andymation i know how much work you gave for our entertainment and delight... not only for making that micro flipbook but the production of the video itself.... the editing, animation, lighting and mostly the "acting" :) Thank you!
Not only one. But TWO microscopic flip books!! 😱HOW?!
😱😱😱😱😱😱???????????
as soon as i saw that he could accualy flip it i was blown away
+
What do you mean??
𝓐𝓵𝓼𝓸 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓰𝓸
You deserve more views, the reasearch you did to find the right camera gigs, explaining it to us and the flipbooks, all in all a perfect masterpiece....
I can’t believe his dedication for the flip books, he’s very talented and passionate about it and it shows!! This is amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️
The "cereal break" was so tiny like the flipbook😂😂😂❤❤❤
He drunk a glass of oj in 1 sip
Good observation familytimewithzoey5321! 😄👍
Hahha
Are you a therian? I support
@@preppygirl2000slaystherunway yes I am! Ty for the support!
10:05 had me dying especially when the tree called him dramatic 😂
11:00 you mean
Being near the giant tree was chef's kiss wonderful. 😂❤
@mahdi786003 The dramatic music started around 10 and ended with the tree just after 11. It was sweet little detour, lol.
Plz just don't really pray to trees, ppl. 😁🙏☝
dude I used to watch this guy years ago. my guy’s still on the grind, appreciate it.
This was SUCH a creative video! Not only is the content presented really amazing but even the video itself with the fourth wall break haha. Thank you for sharing!!
This has got to be one of my new favorite Andymation videos. I love the dramatic part.
your patience is insane I could never do this great job
Seeing the Lego guy actually able to flip the book himself made me so happy.
‘’I am a perfectionist” the tie lol 😂
Make the worlds largest flip book 🌝
Edit : Thanks for 5 likes...

7:36 His skill to draw tiny got better and better till the end frame.
You are my OFFICIAL my favorite TH-camr now, you have quite a passion for Flip books, you did an awesome job on animating for our favorite Laika movies, Boxtrolls, Paranorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and The Missing Link, it is a shame you are not a part of Coraline, but that film is still amazing, and I just found out that you were also interested in film making, I watched through all of your short films, they are all amazing, my favorites might be "Toast", "Watched Pot", "Cookie", "Mustache", "Weird Ribs Are Swell", and even "Butterfly" which literally has awesome stop-motion in it, they all have awesome stories!!!
I always used to watch this channel when i was younger because i thought it was really cool, i forgot about and stumbled upon this video; its nice to know this channel is still going.
BRO IM SO SURPRISED HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT!
The music vibe is always crucial! Kudos on nailing that flipbook-serious skills!
Zooming on the crooked tie was the most perfectionist trait ever
seeing a minifigure with a working flipbook was the perfect thing to brighten my day :D
This Lego figure can flip a flip book better than I can 13:56
AHHHH the cereal break is SOOO CUTE🥹❤
i got to that part when i read this comment and IKR!!
The Lego man flippin the flip book is so iconic.
I think the reason the lines didn't work out will be the paper's grain direction 9:21
1:39 as a perfectionist, this p!ssed me off
the amount of skills and patience you have doing this is admirable. i appreciate the Zoolander reference.
😁
It's 4 AM and TH-cam knows exactly what kinda stuff to recommend.
I used to watch this TH-camr years ago and was obsessed with flip books. I'd make my sticky notes into flip books in class and now I'm learning animation in various ways and got this on my home page on TH-cam, watching it makes me so inspired to animate
I've been watching you for a few years now and I recently bought your flipbook kit and some of your printed flipbooks. You have really inspired me a lot so thank you and keep up the great work!
the reason for being able to draw smoothly one way and not the other has to do with the grain of the paper. if you try to tear paper, you will find that one direction tears more cleanly than the other; the smoother tear is along the grain, the rough tear is against it that is, perpendicular.
Incredible! Your flipbooks are wonderful, but so is the storytelling! I love the humor, the drama, and the banana for scale lol!
14:07 the Lego holding the flip book was everything.
This is so cool! I am amazed by how much skill and time that took! And getting the lego person to flip it? That's crazy
you always impress me! can’t wait to see more videos like this amazing!
Came for the animation, stayed for the humor and editing. Great video!
6:31 ty for putting cereal first 😔 😅
soggy
That is just absolutely mind blowing to me.
the production of the video was epic! that tiny flipbook was so impressive
imagine doctors doing operation on such small scales.
Amazing work! I wonder if there's a different medium you could draw on that wouldn't have as much texture to give you the straight lines you were trying for.
8:55 It might be the grain of the paper
Yes!! I was looking for this comment! The drawing is so small that the paper texture its just more noticeable, even with the most steady hand
14:36 secret QR code video here "July 26 2059"
thanks, I knew there was something weird lol
Probably his predicted death date
wonder if this will be another interesting youtube mystery
@@mindustrymasterlike bo burnham
It’s the dramatic part lol I was going to call film theory 14:36
ur actually an INCREDIBLE filmmaker and storyteller. such an enjoyable watch and so much effort was put into each frame
This is crazy. Loved the Lego man flipping at the end. Really fun. :)
12:42 it’s smaller than what I expected
That coem must be FKING MASSIVE
the production quality in just the first two minutes is insane
@ 1:36 That moment of imperfection was perfect, so your statement still stands. Awesome. Subbed.
2:25 bro became a teacher💀
6:20 was my favourite part tbh🤷🏾♀️🥹
As if the tiny flipbooks weren't cool enough, this man went extra-extra on the editting, too.
Damn my eyes hurts by seeing how tiny that paper is😭how can he draw that...much appreciated his hard work lmao ...salute to u bro 🎉🫡
THIS IS TALENT
13:38 the reveal
I remember being like 9 and watching you make the tiny flip book. I was so impressed and subbed to you immediately. 5 years later, I’m almost 14, I’ve got a new account, but somehow this video somehow still ended up on my recommended.
I can't believe I was so fool to let pass two weeks to see this.
It's a video full of humor, skills and dedication; surely you invested a good amount of money and time to do this.
This is one of your best videos until now, Andy 😊👍.
6:41 Thats not milk lmao
that's my milk wdym
9 months later...
2:50 I really like Fuji kit.
That was excellent!❤ You have patience!
I think the squizzly line on the mouth actually looked great.
Andy remembers what it's like being a beginner artist again
"I just wanna draw a straight line!"
8:29 As a perfectionist as well, I know the pain. It hurts internally throughout my soul.
10:44 me be like😢
The amount of effort you put in that is crazy
OMG THE SWEATING FOR THE FLIPBOOK ASSEMBLY KILLED ME 😭
10:21 woaw he sweated allot right in just a short span of time lol
1:22 I feel ya, brother 🤜🤜✌
I’ve never been so impressed in my life.
I'm the same way for the wabbly lines, when I animated the intro to my music video I wanted it perfect but was animating on a Chromebook with a mouse. Which I had no idea how to do it neatly so I settled for wabble and it turned out pretty good! Loved the animation book btw!
2:05 had me scared there
Though I was the only one sweeting pebbles
10:29 stacking a tiny flip book with bennet foddy?
This is awesome. Everything about this is a masterpiece, from the flipbook itself to the video editing and presentation. Amazing work man!
Wow i havent watched your channel in a while, well i watched a few videos that were sort of old, but it's so amazing that there's even like mini cinematic films inbetween the main point of the video, it's just so ENTERTAINING!!!, even if it's exaggerated.
14:28 i thought it said banana for sale
my dumbass THOUGTH this was a lightsaber for some reason...1:59
Your tiny drawings look better than my normal ones dude. You are an amazing artist!
I just added this to my 6 year old’s playlist. He made his first flip book last year and is now really getting into Lego, so I think this will be a great watch with him. Thank you!
That’ll do, Andy, that’ll do. 😊❤
8:36 what is this from 😂
