mutoscope (simple kinetoscope)

Mutoscope low-tech and high-tech at the same time:

Low-tech: the very basic way to mechanically run an animation (Like Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope,)

but made with very last high-tech 3d printing.

my first full project in solidworks from scratch!!

now i can enjoy my granddaughter Neomi's first smiles over and over...

Post-Printing

for printing the 24 frames (one second) i used Photoshop and Premiere. but there are online places that can convert video to gif and separate images:

like ezgif.com

each frame is a printed in 250gr paper 12cm X10 cm and has holes, punched with a standard office hole puncher. (8cm apart) that keeps the frames in place and registered

the photo holder has pegs at the same distance.

I added the template i used to print the frames a4.pdf which has the center mark for punching the holes and for printing 4 frames in a4 page.
