my very own Thaumtrope!!

Claymation is so much fun..... some times. :) i did have fun making my characters and brainstorming ideas for this video

Thaumatropes

Thaumatropes are one of the simplest  toys. they are made of a string a paper and create amazing illusions. Thaumatropes combine images that are two sides of a piece of paper or any round small round surface with a string tied to the end, almost like a neckless. when spun around you combine the two images to make illusion fun :)
