Zoetrope 3D - The Rooster March

Zoetrope made by Damien Monteillard.
I use Blender to make the rooster 3D animation and printed with Resin printer Elegoo Mars 3 Pro

I think i understand the concept and process, it's technically an optical illusion, much like a cartoon, but I'm still blown away. Can't stop watching this, and the music gives the roosters purpose! LOL Bravo!

[@77thTrombone]

The roosters have purpose until you recognize this is a metaphor for life. Then it just looks like a bunch of chickens following each other around in a circle.

[@suspiciousminds1750]

Good point!@@77thTrombone

[@fist-of-doom487]

I forget the actual term but for a lack of better words our brains cap out at 60 FPS, once it reaches past that it all blends together, so when it spins fast enough we stop perceiving it spinning and instead start seeing movement. Some animals see more “frames” than people for example during the age of analog dogs couldn’t see what was happening on TV it just looked like a bunch of static but as we got better definition TV they started being able to see what we saw and some dogs who noticed for the first time got really scared and confused. Flies see in even more “frames” they see with such clarity that if you move slow enough a fly won’t even notice you’re moving, it’d be like just trying to see grass grow.

[@77thTrombone]

its sucks that it only works thru the magic of "cameras" but it is very cool

Big deal. He somehow DNA-spliced and mutated a bunch of identical tiny chicken-people in his lab and got them to walk in place to music. Anyone can do that with enough genetics training.

Same here and watching this one, I tried watching one bird. The fact that it looks like they are going backwards at one point and that you figure out you are not just watching a single bird like you think you are! Just amazing!!!!!

[@plaztik767]

A three-dimensional zoetrope is an ingenious idea. The animation of the figurines looks silky, smooth the persistence of movement effect is amazing. 👍🏻

This is brilliant! The bobbing head is what really makes it.

This is so amazing to watch. Not only do they seem to be walking but actually moving forward. I love it.

[@27122712ful]

But at the beginning it seems that they are walking backward :0

[@briangandee8149]

The direction of they're walking is dependent on the speed of the turntable.. adjust the speed and you could have them going backwards.. great work..👍

[@ntilewills5679]

The shadows moving is the greatest thing adding to the effect of actual movement. That is a crazy effect

[@AXE668]

Just love the whole weight-shifting/inertia/momentum of the movement right down to the comb waving. Excellent job.

[@PhilJonesIII]

Agreed, I'm still lifting my jaw off the table.

[@user-rx6zi4ui9y]

Good work! The music is also really fitting!

[@TruthSurge]

it's the flip-the-pages cartoon idea which is the same as the common "movie" concept of taking a picture 24 times a second so that you record the events over time then play those pictures back and it looks a lot like the things when they were actually moving. Doing it in 3D is just a bit cooler. Wow, you had to to create the model, create the walk sequence, export all the frames as printable objects, print them all, affix them in perfect alignment to the circle center.... this took a lot of work! very cool.

Love that this zoetrope is made with 3d models instead of just drawings on an outer wall.

[@randomname1251]

Kinda weird watching this as a video, since cameras themselves are basically advanced zoetrope creators

[@webgpu]

and i think this effect only works because of the 30fps limit on this youtube video. If we were seeing it in person, we'd just see a blurred circle (formed by the characters)

[@alexubel]

@@webgpu KZbin videos are not limited to 30fps. Also, you would see them walking if you were to view the Zoetrope from the right angle in person. Here is one to watch that explains how it works. Zoetropes Create 3D Illusions Using Light.

[@thomasparkerculver709]

Me too!

[@webgpu]

@@alexubel i said youtube limits videos to 30fps, but i didn't say it 'only" limits it to 30fps (im sure everyone watched yt's 60fps videos already) -- so i meant that "this" video above was limited by the standard 30fps. I just read this videos author replied to one of my comments saying the blurring in person doesn't happen because of Strobe lights. Thanks for your explanation! ☺️

[@christopherpardell4418]

@@alexubelBecause of persistence of vision, In person You would not see the effect unless it was lit with a light that flashed at the right speed. In the US incandescent lights flash at 60 hz. So under an incandescent light you will see the effect is each rooster sculpture advance 1/60th of the circumference of the wheel, or some even multiple of that time. This appears to be shot under sunlight ( although the apparent window could just be a prop with an artificial light source behind it. ) If this is actually lit by sunlight, then the motor had to spin the table at a speed synchronous to the frame rate of the camera shooting the shot. It’s why wagon wheels in old westerns can appear to spin backwards or stay still, but you never see that effect thru your own eyes looking at an actual wagon wheel... Because the frame rate of the film camera is some multiple of the number of spokes. On an original zoetrope, the images are viewed thru the outside of the paper cylinder, thru slots. This creates a flashing effect in perfect synchrony as you can only see the image for that instant that the slot lines up with the image on the opposite side. When watching an old Tube television you could see the approximately 30 frame flashing rate if you made a raspberry sound thru your lips. This would vibrate you eyeballs at a speed similar to the frame rate of the TV and the screen image would suddenly look all wavy and rubbery. What I am curious about is if it this was shot with a camera with rolling shutter?

Brilliant. The intelligence to pan around the entire display and show from every eerie and amazingly lifelike angle. This looks better than any computer graphics because it’s real/ a practical effect

[@christophercooper6731]

Statements like _not an artist, not a musician, not a writer_ are utterly meaningless.

[@starlucanyaart]

@@christophercooper6731 Do you mean that they are meaningless, because finally they want to express the contrary? Because they know others would say, "but yes you're an artist!". When someone says "i"m not an artist (or something else)", it's a way to provoke others to tell them that they are. And make them say exactly what they need to hear. And it work, because people rush to affirm their devotion and to reassure them, while they already know what they are.

My dad bought a zoetrope for my brother in the early 70s, it came with a few different long inserts my dad would wrap it around inside and it had a wooden handle to hold had slits all around it. You hold it up to your eyes and use your hand to spin it. I was about six years old and it was so fascinating. I haven’t seen a zoetrope till a couple of years ago I looked it up but I didn’t know what they were called. This one is absolutely amazing and so cool! I love the music, it goes perfectly well with the walking roosters. 😁

[@yonkel]

[@mikethespike7579]

This is amazing! I've seen this kind of machine in museums for film technology but never in 3D. The music to it is great BTW.

[@PhilJonesIII]

The principle has been around since forever but, you have done it in 3d and with physical models. Hats off to you! This blows me away. I've done some very basic cartoons with my kids and that was difficult enough. I'm guessing it took a good while to design and create those models. Please, please, a video on how it was done.

Passion about 3D modeling, animation, 3D printing, all combined into such a delightful creation. Thank you. P.P.S. Instead of the round base under the figurine's feet, a disc sector, which combined would create a continuous circular band, would make the movement more believable.
