Zoetrope - William George Horner


Zoetrope

The zoetrope is a turning object that uses persistence of motion to create the illusion that the images are moving around in a circle. I found the zoetrope interesting because it was originally called the wheel of devil and the images that are making the illusion of motion have nothing to do with the devil, and that that images are of a person riding a horse. The zoetrope was created by William George Horner in 1834 and it was important in the creation of stop motion because it introduced a possibility of animation of more complex animation in the future.
