Winsor McCay Flipbook

This flipbook features six different stories depending on the position of your thumb as well as augmented reality, viewable when scanning the slipcase with your smartphone or tablet: a 2-minutes micro-documentary about the artists life, his background and his most outstanding work.  THE GENIUS OF EARLY ANIMATION Winsor McCay (1869 – 1934) was an American cartoonist and animator. He is best known for the comic strip  Little Nemo and the animated film  Gertie the Dinosaur. Between 1911 and 1921 he self-financed and animated 10 films, some of which survive only as fragments. The first three were incorporated into his vaudeville act; Gertie the Dinosaur was an interactive routine in which McCay appeared to give orders to a trained dinosaur.
