T4ANIP Ex 01: Zoetrope

University of Portsmouth - Animation Yr. 1 - Animation Principles

One of the first forms of animation was done by using a Zoetrope. 

The frames are placed inside a cylindrical device which has holes. They help in breaking every frame in order for the eye to see the animation.

Because of the size of the strip and the small number of frames I decided to make in my first attempt an animation of a shuriken (ninja star) spinning in the air. 

In my second attempt I animated a bird.
