Toy Story Zoetope



The first zoetope was designed in AD 180 by Ting Huan. By pasting a succession of images onto the inside of a cylinder with vertical slits in it, a spinning zoetope gives the illusion of action. This one for Toy Story however, uses strobes to pick out the necessary frames from a spinning 3D model. And it looks awesome. The technique is sure to be used somewhere in adland soon.
