Nope. A zoetrope is a drum with frames on the inside with slits cut in it that you look through to create a strobe effect. This is more like a phenakistoscope which uses the shutter speed of the camera to create the strobe effect instead of the slits.

This channel has been set up to showcase some of the work from my CSM final year dissertation on physical animation.I wanted to see if it was possible to involve the viewer in the process of animation and allow people into the techniques and craftsmanship that goes into making pictures move.
This animation is not visible to the naked eye, you need a camera operating at a high shutter speed to be able to see this as an animation and not just a massive blur. Basically the camera, when filming, takes 25 photographs every second, so when the wheel rotates say 30 degrees each time the frame is replaced by the frame that occurred previously. The degree of rotation necessary is dependent on the number of frames you have around the wheel.
Zoetropes, phantakistoscopes and the like (there are many names) have seen a recent surge in popularity with brilliant works made by directors such as Jim le Fevre and later by David Wilson using record players record players and mechanised rotation.
With my work I wanted to take it to the point where the whole animation, including the mechanism was all human driven. In such I hope to share with the viewer the exciting technical aspects of animation, that magical moment where we see something come to life for the first time, an experience usually limited to animators alone.
hey yeah I put a couple up on my esty shop listed above
