Pedal-powered cinema

Black Country-based art student Kevin Timmins has been sending us an intriguing stream of photos for over a year now, showing work in progress on a series of pre-cinema devices including a motorised phenakistoscope (top) and a slightly chunkier pedal-powered version (bottom). Hopefully both will take a bow at Flatpack in March. And if you're an animator who fancies the discipline of a looping 12-frame film on a circular disc, get in touch and we'll give you the spec.
