Here’s a little change of pace. I ran across this little gem of a book at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum in New York City last week. Despite how it might look on video, this is a completely low-tech mechanical system, comprised of an acetate layer moving over a photo created from cut-up frames of motion.

The concept is so utterly simple, yet the resulting animation is surprisingly fluid.
