Zoetrope ?!

A Zoetrope is a device used since the 1800. It creates an illusion from a rapid series of static pictures in order to create moving images. The Zoetrope is shaped like a barrel with slits cut vertically on the sides going around it, inside, is a strip of images which are divided into individual frames, these can easily be changed according to the persons desire. As the device spins the user looks through the slits and sees a rapid series of images producing the illusion of motion.
