Phenakistoscopes!

On Friday, the last day, Animators made their own phenakistoscopes.  Here's a picture of one.

 We were so busy helping the Animators make theirs that we forgot to take pictures of them.

Below is how to use the phenakistoscope.  You need to look at one spot on the wheel in the mirror and not at the whole spiraling pattern.


We only did simple images of a ball bouncing.

We also made a second flipbook, but this time each Animator was much more confident in what they were doing and aware of what they needed to draw to make for smooth motion.

Here is a link to how to make a phenakistoscope.
