- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Owen Lowery, welcoming you to the third and final course of the Motion Graphics Loop Series, Analog Techniques, and you know what, you can't get any more analog than a record player. That's right. In this course, we'll be going over techniques to help you create Phonotropes. What's a Phonotrope, you ask. Great question. A Phonotrope is basically a mash-up of a classic Zoetrope, you know that spinny animation thingy from when you were a kid, yeah, a mash-up of one of those and a phonograph, aka, a record player.
We'll be learning how to set up, light, shoot, and put together your very own Phonotropes. We'll draw, paint, print, cut, and tape together paper loops. We'll work with whatever materials we can find and hobble them together. We'll hop in and out of the computer making Phonotrope guides and turning digital after-effects animations into real-world, 45 rotations per minute, analog animations. That's right, you're about to embark on what just might be the most hip animation technique of all.
You're welcome, world.
