Crazy Zoetrope like Creations

at 5:57 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Cool Gadgets, Crazy Hacks, What Were They Thinking

 

These three creations are not exactly Zoetrope creations. But they take the idea to the next level. The first example uses a record player to turn the work at a known rate, then by viewing the piece at a particular frame rate the background of the image appears to be static and the objects seem to interact! The videos below are Burning Man creations by Peter Hudson that use a strobe effect to freeze the image at the correct time. Using this effect there is no need for precise speed but the timing of the strobes must be exact.
