Made a zoetrope that’ll be showcased on the vinyl soundtrack for the animated short-film Forevergreen.
The video shows some behind-the-scenes tests, in-progress animation, and the final zoetrope design.
The designs are based on Don Clark/Invisible Creature’s graphic art style seen in the short-film’s end credits.
I had never made a zoetrope before, let alone one on a vinyl record, so it was fun figuring out the math. This 12” vinyl plays at 33.3 rpm on the turntable so I knew the rate of spin, and for the zoetrope “shutter”, I chose a 30fps “shutter” to make it easier if viewed through a phone since most smart phone cameras record video at 30fps by default.
With that information, I knew I would be animating at 30fps, and I found that playing with the number of sub-divisions on the disc could give the illusion that the cycled animation appears stationary (54 subd) or travels clockwise (55 or greater) or counter-clockwise (53 or less). The factors of that subdivision number inform the frames of the cycled animation. For example, at 52 subdivisions, the animation cycle could be either 4, 13, or 26 frames long, and it’ll appear to travel counter-clockwise.
Using After Effects, I created a series of nested comps for different subdivisions so all I had to do was drop the animation file in the desired premade comp and it would output the subdivided disc layout.
From there, the process resembled a standard animation production of planning out the scenes, laying out the composition, and animating. Character animation cycles were done in TV Paint and Callipeg, and for the areas involving paths across subdivisions, they were keyed in After Effects.

Re-installed the old version of rough animator cuz the newer version was indeed laggy on me
Which is sad, I rlly liked the additional features in the update but I can't with the pen response 😔
Heres one with callipeg, callipeg is also great but lag for days, I don't think the ios deals with this I think it's because they're still tryna integrate it for android
So I will be patient XD
My stuff still does look pretty decent even if I have to fight it, like a lot
This short I’ve made using Callipeg showcases the first 2D animated media depiction ever made of a scientifically up-to-date Muttaburrasaurus langdoni!
this was done with Callipeg, it was my first time using it and oh my god it’s a BEAUTIFUL and such a comfortable app! And it only cost £15?! It’s craaazzzyyyyy! I’m so happy I picked it up, 10/10 would recommend
