Exploration 5 - Animation

Picture

Interested in exploring animation? That is great! 

There are a few things you can do in the animation station. Let's take a look at them!


1. The Praxinoscope

Picture
The praxinoscope you see in this station is a real museum quality replica of an antique praxinoscope! 

How to use it? Simply take one of the strips of paper and design your animation.

​Make sure it is a loop -- that is, the end of your animation should connect with the beginning. You can use some transparency paper to help you move your images and get them to be just so! The light tables really help too. 

After you are done, you will record your video and share with me, show friends and family, and of course keep it forever! 

2. The anamorphic art

Interested in something a little wacky? Try an anamorphic illusion art!
