4-Mation: 3D Zoetropes

Peggy March – I Will Follow Him
An evening pause: This live television performance from sometime in the 1960s, and was almost certainly performed by lip-sync to the recorded album. That audio for this video has been remastered.

Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa – Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)
An evening pause: From Léo Delibes’ opera Lakmé.

John Woodfield RC Gliders
An evening pause: Seems appropriate with Ingenuity flying about on Mars. From the youtube webpage:
This was the maiden flight of my latest design. It was a bit of a mash-up, using existing wings and tail from old models. It weighs 1.5kg and was flying in about 7-10mph of wind. I feel it will be happier in about 5mph. The all-moving tail needs changing slightly as it developed some serious flutter if I picked up too much airspeed.

Utopia
An evening pause: A short film that describes the world our children and culture are working hard to give us.
June Foray & Bill Scott – Rocky & Bullwinkle
An evening pause: For those who grew up in the 1960s. Everyone else is sadly deprived.

An evening pause: While there is a bit of barnum in this guy’s work, the final “paintings” are quite astonishing.
