Successful Replications: theEnoch (gpsmacy): https://youtu.be/OOG1NYHr4eI History and Today: The Phenakistoscope, an early animation device, uses the Persistence of Vision principle to create a motion illusion. This innovative technology paved the way for future motion picture and film industries. Despite earlier recognition by Greek mathematician Euclid and Newton's experiments, it wasn't until 1829 that Joseph Plateau firmly established this principle in Belgium. The Special Honorary Joseph Plateau Award, a replica of Plateau's original Phenakistoscope, is presented annually to a special guest at the Flanders International Film Festival for outstanding achievements in international film making history. Usage: Users spin the disc and look through moving slits at its reflection in a mirror. The scanning of slits across reflected images prevents blurring, creating a rapid succession of images that appear as a single moving picture. Printing: Using different colors on top/middle/bottom discs is crucial; otherwise, the effect will be lost. The more diverse the colors, the better the outcome.
