Title: What is a zoopraxiscope? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 15, 2004, 11:18:35 PM I was just wondering if anyone (Mark) could describe what exactly a zoopraxiscope is, without cheating and searching on google. Anybody have any idea? It is, after all, one of the things we're supposed to discuss in this forum, so we should probably discuss it.

That was non google. Now I'm going to look for a picture ON GOOGLE.

He pretty much invented everything that had anything to do with motion pictures. Even George Eastman should get more credit for all the things he did for the industry. The only thing anyone knows his name for is the Kodak company, but he had a lot to do with the invention of motion film. They both were awesome.
