Step one, write a software program in code. Step two, select your GIF. Step three, print out GIF. Step four, cut it up and glue it into a flip book.

StupotMcDoodlepip makes it seem easy in this video, where he shows us how he "printed" a GIF, and made it into a flip book. The biggest thing we learn from this, other than the fact that it's pretty cool, is that printing a gif actually takes a lot of work, time and coding skills. But if you think you have what it takes to do this yourself, Stupot has generously shared his software code on GitHub for anyone to use.

If you want to see more of his work, you are in luck. Here is a follow up video of him showing a flip book he made of a GIF of him flipping through a GIF flip book. Inception, for short.

Do you take requests, Stupot? Because we have some favorite gifs we would like printed.
