Mini Mutoscope Kit - GREEN
Build your very own Mutoscope and watch the included animation come to life!
The kit comes with 1 sheet of animation frames and 1 sheet of blank frames so you can draw your own animation.
The Mutoscope is a 19th Century invention - basically it is a mechanical flipbook containing frames of animation which flip through at speed when you crank the handle. This tricks the eye into seeing motion, the same effect as a flipbook! Larger versions of these devices were sometimes installed on the pier at seaside towns, and referred to as 'What The Butler Saw' machines. You had to put a coin in to make it work.
It is a great way to show off animations and have a physical object to show other people. A great way to educate people about how animation works and it looks great on your desk if you need a bit of animated inspiration!
This Mutoscope is beautifully self referencing - the animated picture that appears when you turn the handle shows a blue bird walking along and looking into... a Mutoscope!
