Interactive flip book installation built for the Tweed Visitor Center in Smith Falls, Ontario. User interaction with the hand cranked machines showcased the growth stages of a cannabis plant, from seedling to flower. The project was part of Tweed's brand identity in educating the public about the evolving Canadian cannabis industry.










Three wooden cabinets on pedestals. Each cabinet houses 3 Large Museum Grade FlipBooks and a hand crank for activation.
Each flipbook built into a 12"x 10" metal chassis with a gear motor, hand tooled spindle assembly, position sensing components, and LED illumination.
The crank assembly includes a resistive gearing mechanism and rotational sensors.
Programming and choreography of the animations was achieved with a Micro controller with motor drivers, LED drivers, and position sensing components.
All animations were hand drawn, printed on laminated canvas cards, and the hand assembled with stainless steel posts.
