You can add a script for the rotation in After Effects so you don't have to put the numbers in manually. Click the stopwatch and paste this on the rotation: i = (index-1); value + [i*11.25]
I just discovered your channel because I'm in the process of building a multi-plane animation stand for a project and started to watch more of your videos. First of all, THANK YOU! You enlightened me. Secondly, I really appreciate that you are showing a different way to make animation be part of something outside cinema. Animation is so flexible and multipurpose!
Brilliant! Thanks. I’ve just discovered the world of record player / iPhone phenakistoscopes. Here’s a simpler version of the math though: Frames per rotation = video frames per second x 60 / record player RPM Eg: 24 x 60 / 45 = 32
Well, it depends what you mean. If you mean literally the naked eye looking at a spinning disc, then no, our eyes see too much. That's why everything looks blurry. You can try it yourself and see. That's why you need something that breaks it up (video camera, phone, strobe light). Toys like thaumatropes, zoetropes and phenakistoscopes are designed to be used with the naked eye, but the way they are designed, they break up the visuals for us so our brain has time to process the images.
@@TessMartinArt Thank you for the answer. How about a slotted paper? I'm trying to think of a way to achieve that effect without technology (other than a spinning record).. I know that when you play 33 or 45 rpm on a record player that has side dots on the wheels, they apperar not to move.. That's why I'm asking about simpler animations..
The dots on the side of the record player work because of the little light that shines on them! That works like a strobe, which is one of the ways to 'break up' the movement for our eyes. A slotted paper sounds along the same lines as a zoetrope, where you have to look through passing slots. Another option is barrier-grid drawings, which are also analog, and are basically the same principle.

You can't imagine how hopeless I would've been without this. Thank you!
THANK YOU! Amazing work!
I love this! Takes a smart head to break it down to such a simple explaination. Thank you very much!

Thank you this is great!
Thank you Tess for the great tutorial!! Can't wait to try this again now that I know the Math
I saw Orbit in Rotterdam yesterday. I think it's very cool and geeky indeed!
Glad you likes it, such a beautiful screen!
I wanted to shoot with my reflex camera (settings:1920x1080, 24fps) but the images are dizzy/ blurry .. idk what went wrong. Do you have any idea?
Very helpful! Thanks
Is it possible to get a similar effect while looking with the naked eye if the animation is more simple? For example lines or geometric shapes?

@@TessMartinArt Thank you so much! ❤
Is there a way to watch the full film, Orbit, online?
This was a very interesting video.
Sorry for the late replY! It's here: th-cam.com/video/RoVoSSb1zvM/w-d-xo.html
Can this be done using a cd player?
you can try, but then you have to know the rotation speed of your player :)
hi can I draw the animation digital in photoshop ? and how big has to be the file in photoshop ? thaanks I really love your work
I'd like to use a cell phone to record the animarion...how to know its record speed(frames by second recorsing)?
Every phone is different, you have to check your phone video settings!
@@TessMartinArt oh, ok. I thought it was the same to all cell phones. Thank you and Success to you!!
