Special Interest Video

[Zoetrope]


 
 Zoetrope

The Zoetrope was invented by William Horner in 1834. The cylinder is spun. As it is spinning, the viewer looks through the small slots on the outside of the Zoetrope. With the illusion of motion, the slots become one slot, and the drawings inside become a smooth movement.

The Zoopraxiscope was invented by British photographer Eadweard Muybridge and first shown in 1879. The Zoopraxiscope was a primitive motion picture device that worked by showing a sequence of still photographs in rapid succession. Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) shows motion pictures produced with the zoopraxiscope.

Zoetrope Virtual Studio Home
For more than 30 years American Zoetrope has been producing some of the most challenging and inspiring films in American cinema. Motion picture production and post-production company founded by Francis Coppola.
