How It All Began
As a kid, Andy fell in love with the magic of animation so, he started animating from an early age. He was specifically interested in flipbook animation and stop-motion. In fact, as a kid, he had made tons of flipbooks and experimented with stop-motion. When he grew up, he studied filmmaking and began working professionally as a stop-motion animator. With such remarkable skills, he got the opportunity to work with LAIKA.
In addition to that, Andy Bailey’s wife Laurie Bailey was the one with the idea of creating a kit for creating flipbook animation. Andy loved the idea and started off by creating some samples of it. His sample spread like fire, and soon, he created more of them. Now he is selling his kit on his personal website.

Andy says that flipbook animation is so simple that anyone can do it. You make a few drawings flip the paper, and your picture comes to life right there in front of your eyes, it’s magic says, Andy. Before finding the perfect paper, he tried a lot of light pad for tracing. Finally, after a lot of trial and error, he finally found the ideal tracing paper. After his kit was finally ready, Andy and his lovely wife ran a successful campaign on Kickstarter.

He has generated over $75K from selling his kit to over a thousand people.
