This is a tutorial on ow to make a 19th century animation device called a phenakistoscope.
It was invented in 1851 by Joseph Plateau and it is sometimes referred to as a magic disc.
This is because it is a circular disc with a series of drawings and slotss in it.
When you hold it up to a mirror, spin the disc and look through the slots the drawings
turn into an animation. Simple and fun little animation device.
In this tutorial I show you how it works and how to make one. I also have a template packet for this
so you can download it, print it and make it yourself with just a few very basic supplies. In the
packet I also give you three animation discs and a blank disc so you can make your own animation.
Want to hop directly to the animation to see what it looks like spinning? Go to 1:23 in the video.
The template is on my website here:
