This is genius, the way you approached this project and solved problems as you went produced amazing results! I can’t wait to see your next, more sophisticated project!
The Ghibli museum in Japan has a fantastic one that is highly detailed and intricate. One of the "tricks" is actually to place the models farther apart, so the viewer doesn't get distracted with seeing so many of the same models moving around. You really only need the animation at around 10 to 15 fps to see the nice effects.
You could put a tube inside of the ring of cubes so the viewer is only able to see the cubes in the front... then the animation will be a little more focused. Also, an animation without jumping (so the support on the cubes in mid-air is not needed) would add to the realism. FYI - Blue Man Group uses a strobe and a large spinning set of sculptures for an animation in their show.
Exactly my thought. I would even add to that. If you built some sort of cover to only display a single frame and use an arduino to sync the light so that it would only be on within the frames that the figure is more centered, the narrower the gate and the shorter the light gap the cleaner the animation would feel. I haven't test this though, it's only my feeling put together from distinct experiences.
Great video! Small suggestion though: you should add "Flashing Lights" disclaimers (like at 2:20) for people that may affect! I guess the entire video probably deserves a warning ha
2:24 You can also use same thing you did to 2d images. Also a few months ago in Gemini Center in Bielsko Biała in Poland was that thing with somewho running and jumping the obstacles and a flying parrot.
A slit would still help sell the illusion so you're not always seeing all of the other frames all the time. Add a column in the middle of the rotating platform to block the back portion as well.
3:30 the camera freaking out isn’t because of the app, it’s actually not freaking out at all. The issue is any camera you get, unless specifically made and labeled otherwise, uses rolling shutter to take picture or record video. it doesn’t take an instant snap, but records each frame scrolling from top to bottom. usually not something you’re able to notice, but for things like flashing that changes in the middle of each frame being recorded, it mucks it up pretty bad. to avoid this, you have to get a camera with global shutter, they’re typically much bigger and more expensive
Amazing job. I've seen other projects online as well. I was thinkimg, maybe you could achieve the perfects stroboscope at any speed, if you could create little connectors at the centre of each figure, so when it rotates light can hit always at the perfect timing at whatever speed. Best regards from Portugal
Thank you! That's a really nice idea & with that method you could even place the figurines with variable distances to each other to create cool dynamic effects... thanks for the input!
Hello! It's a great work I'd like to ask you two questions. 1. 01:31 When you test the animation with a blender, you can see that the floor is spinning. Why did you do that? Is it possible to test it like a real Joystrope in a blender? Or did you just give me an animation effect, not related to Joistrope, just to see a rough look? 2. 03:40 You said you made a clean video using a little trick, what trick is it? I can't wait to hear from you. Thank you in advance Mattimotion!
Hey there, thank you! 1. The test in Blender was not really necessary, I just did that to get a rough look, like you said. And a bit of footage haha. 2. There I didn't actually record a video, but took individual photos and rotated the zoetrope by hand between each shot. Then I made them into a video like a stop-motion animation. That way I didn't have to think about the stroboscope and frequencies. Thanks for watching!
Could you use a window that allows the viewer to only see 1 image at a time and set it to spin roughly 24 cubes past the window each second so it looks like a video? Might need to make more cubes, but could be a cool effect.
I used a SM-S4306R Servo for this. Unlike most servos, this one has a continuous rotation instead of a 180° range. You can use any motor you want, the important factor is that it rotates with a consistent speed, so you can find the right frequency for your stroboscope. I didn't calculate that for mine and just found out by trial & error
increasing shutter speed of your camera would fix the freaking out of the cameras. this would make the images darker though so what you could do is have it record a new video every time it rotate 360 degrees and then multiply the color values of each looped frame together to have a brighter image. you could also keep the dark video and just make it brighter(this method looses color and color depth.
Thanks for the suggestions. I think if I make another one someday, I would implement a way to control the rotation speed, so it can be adjusted to any camera framerate. Might make recording easier
You can make a hologram if you dont know Cut 4 glass into the side face of the regular quadrilateral pyramid and glue them together (cut a lil bit of the top so that it can stand upside down). Then get a big screen and search for some hologram video and play it then place the upside down to bottom top cutted regular quadrilateral pyramid made from glass and uhh idk place it somehow for it that it create a hologram when look from the side? Well sorry for bad grammar cuz im from vietnam
You *could* do it with slits, too, right? That would seem to eliminate 90% of the problems with motors and lights.
You could probably do that, but that likely would restrict your view and wouldn't allow you to look at it like a 3d object
@@blustiks3191 Ah, OK. That's a good point. Takes much of the fun out of it if you can't see the front and back.
It wouldn't be 3D anymore
Then it wouldn't look 3D.
@@MiScusi69 It still would be 3D but you have a restricted view. Loses a bit of the magic.
This is really quality for 15 subscribers and 246 views. You deserve so many more! Also, I want to give this a try with my resin printer now.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! With a resin printer you could pull off an animation with a very detailed model, very nice!
Almost 10,000 views now!

Thanks for the tip! The Ghibli one is really gorgeous
Wow!
Love the dedication to the craft and the limited budget approach...
😎👍🏼 Instant sub here
Thanks for the 3D Printing tip for less stringing. 👍😎
Dude, this is going to hit the algorithm, this is really high quality! Keep this up and you might be able to make a living!
Spoilers, it already has

Great stuff! That's how I salvage parts from PCs too!
Thank you so much! :) The good ol rip&tear method, did yours also cut your hand in revenge? lmao

Good video. I like zoetropes, 3D or otherwise.
You're so underrated 😮
Wow, this is awesome! Please make more videos!
Thanks a ton! I'm on it :)

Thanks for the clear explanation! Makes a lot more sense
making those supports white or clear might improve things a little
you are amazing!!!

@@byehi1765 That made me smile, thank you so much!
I love the part where you said its geometry dashin time and geometry dashed all over the place 👌
yooo epic
Neatly ^^
What about change the top color of cubes and maybe paint the faces?
Mono color hide the real great motion. At least in a YT video.
True, that might help! Especially because the cubes are such simple shapes
Could you use a window that allows the viewer to only see 1 image at a time and set it to spin roughly 24 cubes past the window each second so it looks like a video? Might need to make more cubes, but could be a cool effect.
That might add a nice effect! I've got the feeling I have to make another one someday haha

I am looking to create something like this, which servo did you use/how do you determine which to use? Thank you.

when I was a kid like you, drawing flip book in book
whoa HUGE photosensitivity warning!!
I think if you painted the cubes and painted the supports black it would be easier to see the action.
We do not want our cube to wish to be free again
You can make a hologram if you dont know
Cut 4 glass into the side face of the regular quadrilateral pyramid and glue them together (cut a lil bit of the top so that it can stand upside down). Then get a big screen and search for some hologram video and play it then place the upside down to bottom top cutted regular quadrilateral pyramid made from glass and uhh idk place it somehow for it that it create a hologram when look from the side? Well sorry for bad grammar cuz im from vietnam
The shafts should have been painted the same colour white as the disk, because in orange they are visually distracting.
كثرت الضوضاء والسبب واضح قلة المال .. 0:53
Wow!?!
Cool, but if you paint the bottom of the cube as the same as the plate, it would look better. Just saying!!
Great video, can I have the print file, so I can make it for my media class.

Dude called this low budget while buying a setting up a 3d printer is like 400$ 💀
Nah really not with this budget you have at least 2
This is kinda underwhelming tbh
