El Fenaquistiscopio de Plateau.

Phenakistiscope, from the Greek illusory spectator, a toy invented by Joseph-Antoine Ferdinand Plateau to demonstrate his theory of retinal persistence in 1829.

It consists of several drawings of the same object, in slightly different positions, distributed by a smooth circular plate. When that plate is rotated in front of a mirror, the illusion of a moving image is created.

Shortly after its invention, Plateau discovered that the number of images to achieve an optimal illusion of movement was sixteen, which would later be applied by early filmmakers using sixteen frames per second for early films.

In this breakthrough for animation, I developed some glass supports on this very important invention. To have something cool while talking a little about design history or whatever you want.
I hope you like it.
