As part of my light animation test I have decided to invest some time into harking back to the original means of creating film through craft & light: the era of Zoetropes, Kinetoscopes & Zoopraxinoscopes!!
With the weather turning beautifully snowy I decided I wanted to make the most of the white background & reflective surfaces. as well as normal light painting I wanted something that would look organic & magical.
I have decided to create an approximation of a zoetrope. I will project light through a spinning disk of cut out images - (for example a walking cycle of a man). With the spinning motion of the disk of cut out shapes, the light will luminate through and project the images onto a canvas, the canvas in this case will be the white & reflective snow!!
I will build the zoetrope and the spinning mechanism out of household items, use LED/torch lights for my projector light, and if needed I will salvage an old canon 55mm lens to project the light source.
I will then add this to my final light animation test.
