A local Japanese newspaper based in Nagano, created a new-styled flipbook animation using a newspaper printing press for its 140th anniversary. "A Family Story" is about a young man and his parents unfold through a series of local newspaper articles. An ordinary but touching story of young man that leaves his small town for Tokyo to pursue his dream and fails to succeed but is saved by parents’ unconditional love. The story consists of 1,918 flipbook images and they were printed and shot in real time by precisely calculating the number of images per second, the frame rate of camera, and the running speed of the machine. Without any CG, the images come alive, transforming the printing press into a "Newspaper Cinematograph". A family bond is a history of little happenings in everyday life, and we connected this with the local newspaper, as its purpose is the circulation of everyday history through local articles.
