Powerpoint - Flip Book Animations

What should I do? How do I do it?

You are going to create a very simple  flip book animation in Powerpoint. 

You're not going to use the built in animations. You are going to create it yourself!

What it should be about is up to you but it can take a lot of slides to animate something so keep it simple. - something like: a sun rise or sun set, a ball bouncing, etc.

  1. Watch the video below to see a demonstration on how to create flip book animation.
  2. If you want to see another example, there is one showing a stick figure doing a cartwheel on computer #6 in the computer lab for you to view.
  3. Create a new Powerpoint presentation and set up the background for your presentation.
  4. Now, either draw (using the drawing tools) what you want to animate or find clip art of something to animate and add it to the first slide in the starting position. NOTE: If you draw something and it contains more than one element, make sure to select all of the elements and group them together so you can move them all at the same time.
  5. Create a new slide as a duplicate of your first slide and move and/or rotate and/or alter your image slightly. Then create another new slide as a duplicate of your second slide and move and/or rotate and/or alter your image slightly. Continue this process until you have all the slides you need. Don't move it too far too fast.
  6. Now, in the Transitions option under Slide Show, turn off mouse click for advancing slides and add timing to advance slides and apply to all slides. NOTE: You may want to change the first and last slide back to using a mouse click to advance the slide.
