The circumference of the circle is 125.6cm, I currently have 24 images which would need to be 5.23 cm width each, although I am considering making the animation shorter so that the images can be slightly bigger. This way it will be clearer to those who may not have as good vision.
I would like to aim to have around 12-16 images, this way they will need to be 10.467 - 7.85 cm each which will be bigger and better than 5 cm.
We have a mini Lego motor which we will use to move the zoetrope, this is so that it will move quick enough for the animation to be clear.
Next all I need to do is the wall with the slots in them which will make the images into the animation when moved. To make this, I will use card.
After trying to make a prototype ring of images, I found that the images were to small to see correctly, so i will stick with using 12 images to make them bigger and better. The circumference is 125.6cm so the wall will need to be slightly bigger so that it can fit on the outside of the disc, so i will make the wall between 125.6 and 126cm. So each image will need to be exactly 10.483.
Below is the row of images I will print off to put inside of the zoetrope, I have added an extra 2cm on the side to glue them round.
