Flipbook

      Just like ComicMaster, I rated Flipbook using four different categories. In simplicity, Flipbook earned itself the full five points out of five. The actual creating of a Flipbook is so easy it can take less than five minutes to make just a simple one. Another thing that helped it earn its points, was that it goes from one still frame to the next giving it a movie-like look that is almost effortless. It is so simple that I'm sure pretty much anyone can go to the website, click "make", and create their own Flipbook. There is no way it is beyond someones understanding of how to make one. I am confident enough to say that this tool may be fool-proof.
     The next category it was rated on was color. Once again Flipbook recieves a five out of five rating. Even though the only thing that is actually provided for you is the colors, there is a large aray of them to choose from. These colors are all bright and vibrant for the most part, but like everyhting else in life, there are a few exceptions. The thing I like most about this is that you actually get the choice of what colors you want to use, when you want to use them, and where you want to use them.
     After rating the color, we rate the characters. I rated this a two out of five. I gave that rating for one main reason, the characters were not provided by the Flipbook tool. Unlikes ComicMaster, you are not given a set of characters to choose from. This has both its pros and cons. The downside to this is that you have to use some of your time to think of what characters you are actually going to create. On the other hand though, this is a good thing because you can really let your creativity be shown through the creation of your Flipbook.
     The final category is backgrounds. In this occassion, Flipbook  received  two points out of the five possible. The reason for this is that you have to decide where in the world or universe your story/comic/movie is going to take place. In many situations this is a cause for time ticking away and you not getting your work done because you're still thinking of a setting. It's kind of bittersweet because it is a good thing as well as a bad one. The good thing IS that it can take place WHEREVER you wish for it to take place, while the downside is you actually have to draaw it yourself. You will have to rely on your creativity a lot more. As a total, Flipnook recieved a rating of fourteen out of the twenty possible points.
