[Frameworks] Experimental Cinema Flip Book

[Ken Eisenstein]

Thanks for sharing the flip book !
Hope to hear from someone else about its author.

I think Robert Breer had some Mutoscope activities.
Also, Robert Huot made Zoetrope strips and some other
related stuff. I'll get the details to you soon.
