Do you know what a zoetrope is?
A zoetrope is animation devices that using an afterimage. I made that with LEGO.
Usually, ‘LEGO Animation’ means a stop motion animation, but this is a ‘Real’ 3D Animation! :-)
The figure seems to be jumping!
Prototype
I made an octagon cylinder, and I arranged the 8 mini-figures with a different pose.![写真 2013-06-29 10 07 07](https://i1.wp.com/www.kohsukeslab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/写真-2013-06-29-10-07-07.jpg?resize=300%2C225)

But this prototype was not so good.
This animation is not smooth because there are not enough frames.
I thought the octagon weren’t enough…
Smooth Animation
So I made a dodecagon cylinder.![写真 2013-06-29 11 20 32](https://i1.wp.com/www.kohsukeslab.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/写真-2013-06-29-11-20-32.jpg?resize=474%2C632)
