my only guess is the camera isn't the best quality, that or the light flashing timing is off. i've seen other vids like this, but you can't actually see the light, so no idea what's up with this
This is one of my most favorite things ever. I miss my incredible privilege of having an Annual Passport and being able to see it basically whenever I wanted to. Thanks for the upload 😊👍🏼💖💖💖
My imaginations suspect that this zoetrope should have been placed in the Sensory Funhouse at Wonders of Life (okay, so I never actually been to Epcot ever, but it interests me!)... its just fascinating to look at! Excellent video capture!
+EgAnimatiOn no, not really. what the lights is this: you look at a sculpture going up. after you watch the sculpture going up, the lights tun off to leave you blind for a fraction of a second. then it lights on again to show you the next sculpture and it creates the illusion of movement. the human eye is estimated to see thing at 24 fps. and....well, go to disney land and see if your eyes can catch the movement of the sculptures with out the light.

or maybe just alot of reasonably big wheels that replace each other ? It would be awesome, maybe just to do a short 10 minute film or something like that if thatd be possible.
Possibly discontinued, due to the risk of the strobe FX light triggering an epileptic seizure in some unfortunate guest. All it takes is one, to trigger a lawsuit feeding frenzy. 3D zoetropes still exist; there's one featured in an "Animation Academy" exhibit, currently at the Mobile Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Museum.
