Tangible animation



A trip to the national media museum reminded me of how I liked tangible animation. Moving image that can be viewed with the turn of a crank rather than electrical technology. The only limitation is that it would need to be short but I think that its a great tool for showing the simplicity of creating moving image. I was once put off making moving image as I thought it would be too complicated but this medium I feel concentrates on the construction of sequential images to create movement. This could have been my problem before, I never thought of moving image as separate images.



BBC have used this idea to create an indent, I thought it was a good demonstation of how looking in a zoetrope feels like you looking 'behind the scenes' but is rather more elegant than looking at final cut pro.
