Exploring Youtube II
... and flipbook-online.de
At least it was youtube, but at first it was another forum I discovered on animation. Its speciality is that it is in German. This is outstanding, because most of the information on animation available are shared in English (which is good because it reaches as many people as possible. Although I think Mandarin would be great as well... ) But there are a lot of students and kids who are not good with English and this may be helpful to them... So, here it is: the tiny German animation forum, flipbook-online.de where I found the artist who did the youtube animation below. Her name is Sandra Bahr and I really like her style and way of working. It's not a very narrative story, but I found it very inspiring:
The flipbook forum is very small but the guys there try to answer every post. It's a small community with about 250 members. But I like the idea of networking not only worldwide but in small groups as well.
