The challenge was to be able to efficiently process the frames from a 3-5 second clip, have them printed by a photography shop, and assemble them as easily as possible. As a heavy After Effects user, I wanted to create a project template (flipbook_template.zip) that would input video from my camera and quickly export out a sequence of frames for print.

I usually send my digi-pics to Ritz Photo, but any photo shop will work. A 4×6 print is the cheapest format I could choose, so that became my output size. One thing to keep in mind when setting up your video in After Effects are the parts of the frame that will be hidden by the spine.
