Animation: Action Pack.
Animation: Action Pack. Michele Clairborne. DK Publishing, Inc.
(212-213-4800), 1998. Learning package, $18.95.
This animation kit can be used as a resource for teaching about the
mechanical toy precursors of animated films. Clear instructions
accompany all the makings of models of such devices as zoetropes,
thaumatropes, phenakistoscopes, and flip books. The same step-by-step
instructions could be used by students to construct their own devices.
The principle of the persistence of vision and the foundation of both
animated and live-action films are learned by using this kit.
