zoetrope

Zoetrope animation and history.

To create my Zoetrope animation, I visited the civic where I was able to create this using instructions. I first drew 10 slightly different drawings on a long strip of paper, so that when I had finished it would create a movement.

I then had to place this in to the Zoetrope, where the images were shown through through the slits in the cylinder wheel.

Once I spun the Zoetrope in a fast motion it created a moving picture through the slits in the wheel, which I thought worked really well. I recorded this, so that you could see the movement that it created.

This is a link to my YouTube channel where you can view the video of this:

History of Zoetrope: A Zoetrope is an animated vintage toy that was originally developed in the 1830s and designed by Fred Damert and Bill Hanson in 1992 and sold by the Damert company.

I also created a stop motion animation during my time at the civic. 

This is the station where you had to create them. You were given so many props to choose from, which you could you in your animation, so I decided to use a toy car. Once you had chosen which prop(s) to use, you had to gradually move the object and take a photo of each movement on the computer so that it looked like it was moving on its own.

This shows the series of images I had taken on the computer to create this short animation. Once I had taken the images it then put them into a pattern to create the animation. I really liked this as I had never dome this before and I found It really interesting. 

This is the link to my video of the short animation:

History of stop frame animation:

This is an example of modern stop motion that was created on the set of a film, which won an award for a new way of creating an animation:

This is another stop frame animation that I have created of a clock. For this one I have came up with a little story board to show what it would be like.

This is how it looks as a finished animation:
