A 17-year-old British teenager has made a Guinness World Record by hand-drawing a 1,300-page-long flip-book.
Max Budgen of Petersfield, Hampshire, told Guinness World Records that his flip-book, Thunder Strikes, was drawn by him over the course of several days.
“The record attempt itself took place over a number of days. I’d sit down on my desk, at school, on trains and I’d draw,” he said.
“Some of the toughest moments that I encountered whilst attempting this record, I think, is the fact that flip books usually are meant to be short, snappy and interesting narratives,” he said.
“By the time I was on page 500 or so, I was getting rather bored and running out of ideas. Nevertheless, I reminded myself that world records aren’t meant to be easy. So I persevered and carried on.”
