Scanimation is the art of real-life animated pictures, based on tricking our brain to give an illusion of movement. Art pieces of similar directions were being created for a long time, but only recently the term "scanimation" was introduced by an amazing artist, Rufus Butler Seder.

This is how Television works. Absolutely genius idea to apply those principals to a real-life 2D image.

I am wanting to create tattoos like this and then have an app on a phone that can be used to see the image. I assume it would have to be written down as size of phone screen correct!? And also when I go to press scanimate I can’t because it’s not green it’s still Grey🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@FaberBurgosSarmiento]

I need to contact you !! i want to do a video talking about this !

LO LOGRÉ, en el caso de usar illustratrator 2021 exporta A4 en 3508x2482 en vez de 2480 por eso la página no reconoce la medida, usen recorte en photoshop para eliminar esos dos pixeles y listo.

[@tomokos1120]

Can you produce the scanimation effect by moving viewer instead of moving the grid? For instance, while viewer is moving as on a bicycle and keeping the image and grid stationary?

[@WispYart]

yes, to do that, you have to put grid on glass and have a gap between grid and the scanimation, so that when passing by, the grid shifts visually

[@tomokos1120]

@@WispYart thank you for the response. That makes sense. I am a bicycle advocate and am running a group called Climate Revolutions by Bike. We are a group to encourage people to ride bikes as their main mode of transportation. And now especially with Covid, I am focusing on enticing people to ride by putting eye grabbing art installations on bike paths. I think i can accomplish the animation effect by using wooden slats as grid in front of the picture image. Thank you for all your good information on the video and in this response. I'll try to make a mock up of it.

@@tomokos1120 You may be interested in watching this video about the history of scanimation, at time 14:02 there is a whole segment of the video that talks about murals to walk/run by to see the animation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH3JfYagl9JnqZo

@@dianetrauzzi8500 Thank you! It's just what I needed. I'm hoping to develop a grant proposal for a mural using this technique. I'll let you know how the prototype works when I get started on it.

[@clayslayyy]

woah! is that transparent paper?! How am I going to get that? plz help me

[@CraftConnectionwithJilesha]

You can use copier paper and cut the white lines with cutter, that will result in paper grid instead of transparent one and it works as good as transparent one

Thank you for this tool, but I am using your tool and have uploaded 6 frames of black silhouette on a white background and it is not generating an image for the scanimation - here is the info - 6 jpgs size of page is 2550 x 1650. The app tool shows me the animation - and it all looks good, but when I try to download or play the scanimation - the image is just a blank white page - pls advise, your assistance is greatly appreciated

[@WispYart]

That's not supposed to happen, you should be able to see the scanimation on the preview. I may help you with your issue if you don't mind sending me the source files to [e-mail]

[@44monarch]

@@WispYart I can see it in preview, but nothing shows on the download. I will send along the files - thank you so much!

[@FilleChaat]

It's a shame but I have exactly the same problem with any image and even on different computers, is there a way to solve this bug ? Even with the images of the tutorial it's the same, Thank you for your reply

[@maspape-lito7410]

Excelente sistema de animación con movimiento. Desearía tener la traducción en español, de este y otros videos, sobre este interesante tema. Muchas gracias! Espero su respuesta!

[@WispYart]

You could access the transcript of the video and run it though the translator. I don't speak Spanish myself, so that would be the best we can do.

ps esta bastante claro. crea tus framse de animatin y la webapp te hace la rejilla y la imagen para imprimir

[@itzellopez4138]

Hi, please help me, I want to know if that transparent paper is acetate ?? can you give us a link for transparent paper? thanks

[@WispYart]

I am sure any transparent paper will work for scanimation, so if you can find non-acetate transparency, then it will do

Just normal printer ink

I have tried also using pngs as well, nothing happens - no image. I also tried with your images and again -just a plain white page - no scanimate image?

It should work with tutorial images, I just tested it myself. Which OS/browser are you using?
