Have you checked out OUR dedicated YouTube channel?
Andy created a channel just for the Flipbook of the Rings project and he wants it to be OUR channel!
If you’ve edited your own video about your journey with this project, Andy will consider adding it to our official channel! Just send a link to [email protected] with a note that says, “For consideration for the Flipbook of the Rings channel”.
Here is some of the content Andy’s been adding to the channel recently:
📯 Opening and blowing the Horn of Gondor gift you guys sent him.
📮 His biggest flipbook haul so far (so big the post office sent him home with a dolly!)
📆 “Which Shot Will It Be” Shorts where Andy opens your packages and reveals the latest finished clip.
Some fun stats!
Andy has received and logged 665 flipbooks, 43.1% of the flipbooks needed to recreate the entire movie! That’s roughly 74 minutes of flipbook or around 53,000 individual drawings!
If we line all these flipbooks up in a row, they’re 311.7 feet long! That’s almost the length of an American Football field! 🏈
Or to put it in a nerdier way 🤓, these flipbooks are the length of 249 copies of the hobbit sword Sting! 🗡️ And 62% of the length needed to equal the height of Saruman’s tower Orthanc!
Once Andy receives just 401 more flipbooks, we’ll reach Orthanc level.
