What a Groovy Book
Posted by Missy W. @ 12:26 PM
Jenny spied this book the other day. Gallop! is a book about animals in motion, but with a twist.
The author, artist and inventor Rufus Seder, used a newly patented technology called Scanimation. Scanimation (and I quote from the editorial review) is “a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the “persistence of vision” principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. So in other words, if you wiggle the pages, the illustrations look like they are moving. A flip book sans flipping.
I figured it would be expensive with all the new fangled technology packed inside, but it retails for $12.95 or less on Amazon. I can’t wait to see it in action.
