Zoetrope example


Untitled from Oyinkan Adeshoye on Vimeo.

Zoetrope is like a little cinema, which is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. It consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides.

  • 32 frames a second,  looks like the image is going through.
  • As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the picture on the opposite side of the cylinder interior.
Back in the olden days they had to pay $2 to experience moving images through a zoetrope. 
The master spin was invented in 1834 by William Horner who called it a "daedalum"(meaning wheel of devil), the faster the rate of spin, the smoother the progression of images, because of its design, more than one person could use the zoetrope at the same time.
The zoetrope works down to persistence of vision, first noted in 1820 by Peter Mark which works like a projector. If we see a light flash every tenth of a second or less, we perceive it as continuous. The impression of each flash of light remains in the retina for at least one-tenth of a second.
  • When you spin the zoetrope you look over the top of the drum at the drawings,  the illusion of the motion is gone.
  • Persistence of vision is a strobospic effect.
  • Images we see must be interrupted by moments of darkness in order for the illusion to work.
The slits in the side of the zoetrope acts like a shutter on a cinema projector.
The Phi Phenomenon is a result of human instinct. Our brains strive to make/give meaning from what we perceive. Movies are composed of images of characters taken from different angles of a variety of distance and shot sizes.
When creating your own zoetrope think of simple shapes to draw, draw it in pencil first just incase you ruin or mess it up then go back over your lines with a dark pen. Use the frames in between one and seven to draw the gradual changes of the metamorphis.

What is the purpose of Pre-Production?

Pre-production is for preparing and planning for the production of our project Les Mort Films which is also our production group.
We signed a group contract which held responsibilities in our group that we had to stick with once signed and agreed on.
My responsibility and job for the production was Director and Scriptwriter.
My individual action plan was with more details about my roles.
The minutes of all meetings we’ve had are all about 20-30 minutes.
The entire script was written by myself; I had to adjust and change some bits because locations etc. The costumes were not hard to decide/get out.
Locations were all decided by each member of the group in the end.
Costumes were all from each members own.
