Scanimation creating software

Posted by John Dalziel on Sunday, December 20, 2009, In : Authoring

Scanimation is an animation technique which can create the illusion of motion on plain paper!

Scanimation involves two layers...

a background image, usually a black and white silhouette, and
a transparent sheet having black bars, called scanlines.

The image appears to be blurry or jagged at first, but when a transparent sheet with scanlines is placed on top of the image and the sheet moved horizontally across the background image, something magical happens.
