Phenakistoscope Animation

At TUMO Yerevan, teens in Gayane Boyajyan’s learning lab created animations using one of the oldest techniques: the phenakistoscope.

They illustrated discs and set them in motion to produce the illusion of animation. In the final stage, they digitized their work using Adobe Photoshop and Toon Boom Harmony, resulting in these animated clips.
