Futuristic Flip Books

Preserve Your Favorite Memories Using an Avant-Garde Flip Book Maker

— August 21, 2013 — TH Video
While flip books might seem passe and pre-technology, some exciting and sleek new flip book makers have been recently released, bringing flip books into the present in a big way.

Trend Hunter's Vice President Shelby Lee Walsh believes that flip books can preserve memories in ways that other gadgets simply can't, leading to her picking out five fantastic flip book creations that prove that flip books are a thing of the past, present and future.

One of Shelby's favorite flip book creations is an online service called FlipClips. Users simply upload a short video, and the site sends them a little flip book that allows them to relive happy memories with the flick of a few pages. As Shelby points out, this service is perfect for everything from weddings to baby showers.

Similarly, Shelby's top pick is Party Impressions, which also provides party-goers with personalized flip books. However, Party Impressions comes directly to your party with a photo booth, lets party-goers take videos of themselves using fun props, like feather boas, then prints the photos and makes a flip book right then and there. Trend Hunter actually hired Party Impressions for its 1 billion-view party. Each employee left the event with their very own flip book, holding a ton of memories of an unforgettable evening.

Flip books make for the perfect party favors, letting party guests relive their magical nights while also acting as neat takes on family photo albums and home videos. With their customizability and quirky function, these five flip book creations prove that flip books will never go out of style.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Flip Books - The rise of personalized flip book creations presents an opportunity for businesses to offer unique and customized party favors and keepsakes.
2. Digital Flip Book Services - The emergence of online services like FlipClips allows users to easily transform their videos into flip books, creating new opportunities for preserving memories in a tangible format.
3. Flip Books for Events and Celebrations - The use of flip books as party favors and event souvenirs offers a fun and interactive way for guests to capture and relive their memorable experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Event Planning - The event planning industry can incorporate personalized flip books and digital flip book services to enhance the experience of guests and offer unique event souvenirs.
2. Photography and Printing - Photography and printing businesses have the opportunity to provide on-site flip book creation services at events, catering to the demand for instant tangible memories.
3. Digital Media and Entertainment - The digital media and entertainment industry can explore partnerships with online flip book services, offering consumers a new way to transform their videos into interactive flip books.
