This Zoetrope is one of my course works. I'm a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. So I came out with the idea to recreate a scene in Ponyo as Zoetrope.
First, I imagine Ponyo transforms between the fish and human forms. The background is the sea with some fish-like waves like one of the scenes in the movie. After this idea is finalised, I use Procreate to animate it.
After that, it's the time to plan the mechanism of the Zoetrope
Later, I need to actually build the Zoetrope physically.
