Zoetrope
I wonder how people figured out the way to properly trick the brain to view motion using physical strips or breaks in our vision. Why would we need brief gaps in our vision to see movement on physical 2-D objects to then evolve and be able to play lengths of film in quick succession without those breaks? Does it come down to the matter frames and the type of medium? Also, how come horses usually end up as the main example when showing off these types of products? When thinking back on old moving pictures, running horses is the main association. How have horses become the main correlation to advertise motion rather than other creatures, people, or other activities.

Logorama
The sheer scale of this logo world was impressive to see. It felt like a fully functioning society and incredibly thought out, how each logo interacts with each other, each logo having its own place in the world. With the amount of logos that were presented, what kind of beast of a computer was able to render so many objects, much less create the models of all those objects.

Every time the logo of the family channel appears, the abrupt reminder it provides that these shorts were intended to be played in front of an audience of all ages. The fact that this guy had the audacity to work on these almost never ending amount of shorts and send them to a program that’s rated E for everyone. I hope that the artist was completely convinced that the content he made was suitable for the job he was given. Or handed his projects over with a completely straight face knowing very well this content won’t be approved, either scenario would be hilarious.
