Zoetrope
A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.It consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. Beneath the slits on the inner surface of the cylinder is a band which has either individual frames from a video/film or images from a set of sequenced drawings or photographs. As the cylinder spins the user looks through the slits at the pictures on the opposite side of the cylinder's interior. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together so that the user sees a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, the equivalent of a motion picture. Cylindrical zoetropes have the property of causing the images to appear thinner than their actual sizes when viewed in motion through the slits.he zoetrope was invented in 1834 by William Horner.
I created my ZOETROPE by using a sheet of paper which had 11 boxes each box split by one line and had to make a animation, the first box and last box had to have the same picture. In the middle it had to reach the top of the page so it'll look good on either side of the middle box. On the left side of the middle box you would make sure it goes down towards the first box and for the right hand side you would do the same thing and then once it is done you would put it in the ZOETROPE and your animation would appear.
