A Mutoscope, nearly finished

Fernando Renes’ animation finally came back from the printer’s last weekend, and Molly helped me bind it into a mutoscope reel.  since my last post everything has been re-built except the projector (I’m re-building the projector today to cut down on light leaks and get better contrast).  The machine is not quite done, but I felt a wave of success on Thursday night, showing it to Fernando, and then Josiah and Taiwon. Taiwon says, “its like how TV works, I like it.” Kids are the best critics.
