LCD zoetrope tests

A test using a circular array of smartphones - to find out if zoetropic motion is possible with LCD screens. Findings:

• It works
• The limited viewing angle doesn't seem to be a problem
• When viewed in the dark the screens seem to 'float' mid-circle
• The screens reflect into each other, better use non-or-less-reflective ones
• In a dark environment the screens cast beams of light on the surroundings
• As with a regular zoetrope, images get slightly squished horizontally
• This test should be repeated with just iPhones, set on the same brightness, and using thinner slits.

Shadowplay tests

Makeshift setup:

Narrative / non-narrative

Reference: Jonas Odell - Här Är Karusellen - an animation structured around looped scenes
