tentacle media's mini-mutoscope revisits 19th-century motion picture technology

James Wilkinson introduces Mini-Mutoscope, an analog mechanical flipbook with 36 still frames for illusion of movement, contrasting with digital animation's lack of tactile quality.

Collaboration with Typoretum resulted in visually appealing plywood-based product with sustainable components, bold colors, and satisfying tactile feel.

Mini-Mutoscope is designed to be a decorative piece on desks or shelves, emphasizing the importance of aesthetics for a bit of animated inspiration.

Tentacle Media's future plans include collaborating with other animators to feature their work in this unique format, expanding the range of animations available for the Mini-Mutoscope.
