A Phenakistoscope is an animation device from around the 1830s, where spinning a piece of paper with slits in front of a mirror created the illusion of movement. Due to this being digital, these slits did not appear in my version.

Unfortunately, the static looking image in the center breaks the illusion a bit. On the other hand, I am proud of how the heart and the fire turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my Animation class, I was tasked to create a Phenakistoscope.
