Marie’s Flip-books: books you’ve never seen before.
It’s time for another… Female Friday! As you might know God is a She and so is the Web is a section where I review web series and webdocs directed and/or written by women. Why?

One day, she had the – excellent – idea to use books as flip-books. And then was born “Les livres flippés” (in French, the wordplay also suggests “Crazy books”), a series of animation shorts (super shorts!) drawn directly on the pages of a book. And here I should probably let you watch one as 25 frames per second explains it better than a thousand words.

And oh, the magic of good ol’ frame by frame! Works every time. Marie puts all her new creations, as they come (there are already about 30 flip-books), on a Facebbok page where you can watch them but also share them like sophisticated emoticons.
