	Zoetrope, Top View
		The zoetrope was invented in 1834 by William Horner, who originally called it a Daedalum ("wheel of the Devil").
		The zoetrope is the third major optical toy, after the thaumatrope and phenakistoscope, that uses the persistence of motion principle to create an illusion of motion.
		Whereas zoetrope picture strips were limited to about 15 pictures per strip, devices using reels of the new flexible film could present longer animations to viewers.

		The praxinoscope was an improvement on the zoetrope that became popular toward the end of the nineteenth century.
		Zoetrope development continues into the twenty-first century, primarily with the "Linear zoetrope." A linear zoetrope consists of an opaque linear screen with thin vertical slits in it.

		This is the document of the construction of the first prototype Zoetrope, constructed from CAD models of a mathematical metamorphosis.
		The physical installation of the Zoetrope began with a 22-inch steel bicycle rear wheel, purchased surplus from Arizona State University Physical Plant, and a portion of the frame of the bicycle from which the wheel came.
		A 555 timer circuit is used to shorten the pulse considerably, to sharpen the image of the Zoetrope.

	Filming A Zoetrope
		Put the Zoetrope on top, and you have a turn table that is crystal-synced (the one we used was, at least) at 33 rpm and 45 rpm.
		If the shot is intended to simulate what a real Zoetrope looks like when spun, then you need to avoid the phasing in just the same way as you try to avoid rolling bars when filming TV sets.
		It's true the zoetrope would have been run "free", but if it was run at - say - 12 fps, I'd be shooting at 24, giving 2 film frames per zoetrope image, and a suitable amount of non-persistence of vision flicker.

		In this zoetrope, sixty phases of the object which transforms are attached to the edge of a wheel.
		The rotation of the wheel is "frozen" using a stroboscopic light, optically synchronized to the "spokes" of the wheel where the objects project from its edge.
		The proposed subject for this zoetrope is the homotopy or metamorphosis from a simple torus to Costa's Minimal Surface.

		A zoetrope, according to Webster's Dictionary, is "an optical toy, in which figures made to revolve on the inside of a cylinder, and viewed through slits in its circumference, appear like a single figure passing through a series of natural motions as if animated or mechanically moved."
		In 3-D Zoetrope, 60 phases of the torus-Costa surface transformation are attached to the edge of a wheel.

	Animation Devices
		The major difference between the type of animation that can be done with a phenakistoscope and a flipbook is that the phenakistoscope has only a small number of drawings (usually eight or 12), and the movement of the sketch has to begin and end in the same position to form a smooth repeating cyclic motion.
		Zoetropes are very similar to phenakistoscopes except that you make a slotted cylinder rather than a slotted disk.
		One nice thing about constructing your zoetrope from fl cardstock is that you can make your drawings on small pieces of white paper and attach them to the zoetrope.

		Zoetrope would be a wonderful environment for a lot of brands and yet there's almost no advertising in it.

	RANDOM MOTION: Zoetrope Animation by Ruth Hayes
		If, when you spin the zoetrope, you look over the top of the drum at the drawings instead of looking through the slots all you will see is a blur.
		The zoetrope and other nineteenth century animation devices such as the flipbook, thaumatrope, praxinoscope and mutoscope were steps in the development of film and television.
		When the zoetrope slows down so that each image is seen for a tenth of a second or more, the illusion of movement begins to break down and the strobe is more obvious.

	The Zoetrope Becomes a Movie Podcast : Today's Podcast By Scott Brenner.
		The zoetrope, originally called the "daedalum" or "daedatelum," was invented in the first half of 19th century by George Horner.
		But it was promoted in the US by William F. Lincoln as a "zoetrope." The first half of the 19th century saw a great many inventions designed to create moving images including the thaumatrope, the zoetrope, praxinoscope, the phenakistoscope and flip books.
		The name zoetrope was created by combining two greek words- "zoe" and "trope." Zoe means life and trope means turn or wheel.

	Patrick Lichty Artworks -8bol zoetrope
		One of the early toys illustrating the principles of motion imagery was the Zoetrope, which consisted of a slotted drum into which strips of serial imagery were inserted and then spun in a way so that the slots would reveal images like a cinema projector shutter, and producing a motion loop.
		In the 8 Bits or Less Zoetrope, twelve sets of serial imagery taken from the database of videos obtained over the years with the Casio Wristcam were printed on strips which are compatible with the zoetrope seen here.
		The result is more or less successful motion taken from experimental digital cinema which is placed within the format of this historical form of viewer.

		To view the zoetrope movie, the viewer looks through slots on the outside of the drum while it rotates.

		In the Zoetrope, a series of images is viewed, one after another, though slits in a drum.
		The vertical viewing slits are in the upper edges of the drum, and the pictures are placed on a band of paper inside the lower portion of the drum.
		The Praxinoscope uses essentially the same geometry, except that the vertical slit is replaced by an internal, multiple-sided mirror that is used to view the pictures.

	What is zoetrope? - a definition from Whatis.com
		Like other motion simulation devices, the zoetrope depends on the fact that the human retina retains an image for about a tenth-of-a-second so that if a new image appears in that time, the sequence was seem to be uninterrupted and continuous.
		It also depends on what is referred to as the Phi phenomenon, which observes that we try to make sense out of any sequence of impressions, continuously relating them to each other.
		The visual effect created by a zoetrope (or zoopraxiscope) is still used today to create animated GIFs and video display technologies such as streaming video, which essentially create an effect of motion by presenting discrete but closely-related images one after the other.

		But, she adds, publishers are "hyperconscious that you never know where the next wonderful voice is going to originate." Lodge agrees, pointing to the example of J.K. Rowling, who essentially emerged from nowhere with the first installment of the Harry Potter series.
		The Virtual Studio, which debuted in 2000 and has more than 86,000 members, is now a forum primarily devoted to screenwriters and filmmakers, but it also allows writers to post their short stories and novellas and to critique one another's work.
