The Lumière Brothers Flipbook

The Lumière Brothers flip book is part of the Pioneers collection from Spanish flip book experts, Flipboku. A tribute to the pioneers of early filmmaking, this is one of ten "cinemagic" flip books, each triggering 6 different animations depending on the position of your thumb!

Each edition also features a two-minutes augmented reality micro-documentary with more information about each artist's life, their background and their most outstanding works, which can be viewed through your personal smartphone or tablet (instructions on the box).

Auguste Lumière (1862 – 1954) and Louis Lumière (1864 – 1948), were among the earliest manufacturers of photography equipment, best known for their Cinématographe motion picture system and the short films they produced between 1895 and 1905. Their screening of a film lasting just 46 seconds on 22 March 1895 at the Society for the Development of National Industry in Paris was the first presentation of a projected film and is widely regarded as the birth of cinema. The flip book comes with an Augmented Reality feature, that you can visualise when scanning the front cover with your smartphone or tablet: a 3 minutes mini-documentary about the Lumière brother's life, their background and their most outstanding work.
