A zoetrope is used to create a illusion from a group of static pictures. The zoetrope is a cylinder with slits cut in the sides vertically. The first Zeotrope was created in 1833.
Zeotropes use the Phi Phenomenon which is when our brains automatically group a series of images to give the illusion that they are moving.
We got to create our own zeotropes the first is a bouncing ball. We first drew in the key frames which are the beginning so when the ball was on the ground, the middle when the ball is in the air and the last one where the ball is on the ground again. Then after drew all the balls in the remaining boxes.
After creating the bouncing ball zeotrope i decided to make one with a clock and the hands changing every hour.
