Mini Zoetrope with running camel insert

Here are some photos of a mini Zoetrope I made to test out the digital animations and see how they worked.
I made it simply, with black card and cut out the slots and made strips along the bottom to keep it rigid.
I attached thread to the outside on the device so it can be held up, spun and viewed. Considering it is a little rustic, it works very well!

 I printed off the camel frames onto paper [each frame was 4cm long and 5cm high] and popped it inside the zoetrope and spun! The animation looked amazing! Much better then the digital version, because it was more blurred and so you didn't notice that some of the lines didn't match up to well and it was a bit wobbly.
It might also have helped that the zoetrope is in a small scale so it will appear more blurred. However for all the blurring, it was still clear was was going on and really looked like a camel running.The actual Zoetrope measures 20cm in diameter and the circumference is 60 cm. The insert was 60x5cm.
This makes my one about a third of the size of the one at the college.

Below is a video of the camel zoetrope, and also one with the 'Viking Portal' animation I made.
The videos are a bit unclear, but it looks much nicer in real life!
The Viking one is much too feint and so it is hard to see the details. It shows how the bolder the design, the better the animation.
