iPhone
Bring your zoetrope records and slipmats to life! Watch & record animations through the app's camera, or use the strobe light to see them with your own eyes. 100% free.
Zoetrope Viewer by Animated Record Company turns your iPhone into a dedicated zoetrope viewer. Put on a zoetrope record or slipmat, start your turntable and choose how you want to watch the animation.
CAMERA
See the animation through your iPhone's camera. The camera settings are designed to reveal the animation straight away. Simply point your phone at the spinning record and start filming.
Want more control? Fine-tune the image with adjustable shutter speed and brightness, or switch on the torch when filming in the dark. Record in HD or 4K, then share your videos or save them to your Photos library.
STROBE LIGHT
See the animation live with your own eyes, without looking through a screen. Strobe Light mode turns your iPhone's torch into an adjustable strobe, illuminating the spinning record to reveal the animation. For best results, use it in a dark room.
HOW TO USE
New to zoetropes? Don't worry, we've made it easy! Follow the in-app video tutorial and step-by-step instructions to get started. Make sure your turntable is set to the speed your zoetrope was designed for, usually 33⅓ or 45 RPM.
And if you have any questions, just tap "Get in Touch" on the home screen to send us a message directly through the app.
Strobe Light mode uses rapidly flashing light. If you are sensitive to flashing lights or have photosensitive epilepsy, use Camera mode instead.
