What is a Zoetrope?
A device designed in the 19th Century which revolutionised the way animation was perceived in its early days and in the modern world. It's a optical toy which consists of a spinning cylinder which when placing a piece of paper on the inner layer of the cylinder with drawing designs intended for animation on the paper, when spinning we are able to see the drawing coming to life and moving through the slits in the cylinder's design, which is known as the 'Phi Phenomenon' or 'persistence of vision'.
What is 'Phi Phenomenon'?
Phi Phenomenon is an optical illusion caused by the human brain perceiving the movement of separate objects rapidly and in quick succession so our eyes aren't quick enough to see the brief gaps in the animation, depending on the amount of frames used. Therefore it seems as if the drawing is coming to life and moving.
