Program Description
Event Description
A GIF is an image format invented in 1987 by Steve Wilhite, a US software writer who was looking for a way to animate images in the smallest file size. In short, GIFs are a series of images or soundless video that will loop continuously. But did you know you can make your own handheld GIF using Victorian era technology? Phenakistiscopes are one of the first forms of moving media that paved the way for modern animation. This kit will contain all the supplies and instructions you need to make Halloween-themed phenakistiscopes and templates to design your own!
This is a Take Home Kit.
