Phenakistoscopes

This week in Stop Motion class we learned how to make phenakistoscopes. It's hard to explain, but we've all see them. In short, they were one of the first forms of animation. I feel like it lends to many possibilities for installations or collaborations. This video is great example:

Saw a cool Toy Story animation in this fashion at Disneyland a few weeks ago! You should check it out when you're out here this summer *wink*wink*

Yeah! We watched that in class too. I'd love to check it out in person. :)
