Some clips appear reversed as the rig had to hold the camera upside down for certain shots so I just flipped the video after

  @barendbos Thank you! The only thing is you have to be filming it for it to be visible.. to the naked eye it just looks blurry, it animates the way it does when the speed of the wheel matches up with the frame rate you're filming at so the frames look like they are on top of each other not rotati...

About this user

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.
