This page has been created by Jim Le Fevre, whose work is the subject of this article. It describes a personal project rather than an influential technique that warrants its own wikipedia page.

Stroboscopic animation has been around in many shapes since 1832. The use of a camera may or may not be original, but it doesn't seem to add much to the options of using slits or a strobe light on similar 2d/3d animated creations. Using a camera (and presumably a monitor or projector) seem to make it even less like "creating animation in a 'live' environment" (the creation doesn't seem to happen "live" either, so it's just one of several means to display such animation).

I propose to merge this page into Phenakistiscope and maybe a bit into Zoetrope, with not more than a few lines about the work of Le Fevre and his phonotrope. Joortje1 (talk) 04:35, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
