Westy commented out of character so I had to downvote.


He's been doing that lately, must be the 12 step program is working... ?

The next seizure show is at 5:15


IRL it doesn't flash like that. The strobing occurs because the strobe lights and the camera are out of sync. This is what it looks like IRL:

Almost dupe btw

My hat is off to the badass engineering that went into this as well.


not really that bad ass if you compare it to what goes into modern software.

besides this was probably made by Chinese slave children they have to knock out one of these every 40 minutes or they don't get to eat.

its a nice effect though don't think the video would really capture the essence of this its a shame they incased it in glass " mommy look its buzz light year im going to pick him up " , " no timmy noooooooooooooo" ( kids arm is torn and flung across room)

It's 'Zoetrope'

The filename on the website is also wrong.

It's a zoetrope... in a book. Pretty much.
