The Pixar Zoetrope

Wahoo! I fell in love with this at the Pixar exhibition in London! Now I don't have to explain it (although even these pics & movies still don't do it true justice - it was just incredible)

Looking through my files I stumbled upon this movie of the 3D Zoetrope from Pixar's exhibition at the NYC MoMA earlier this year, and I realized that it probably hasn't been posted anywhere. So here it is! It's a 4.2 MB mp4 movie, and of course it doesn't approximate in the least how cool this contraption looks in person. This is real 3D animation. There's plenty more information on the Zoetrope and the rest of the exhibit (which I believe is in London now) at the Luxo Blog.


You can see more of my personal photos from the exhibit here.

not to take away from pixars feat, it should be noted that burning man artist peter hudson has been making large scale, life-sized interactive 3d stroboscopic zoetropes since 2002. four years prior to pixars entry into this ffield.
