false <![CDATA[Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255675480m/2140514.jpg 2140514 2 There's never before been a book like <i>Gallop!</i> Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again. A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the "persistence of vision" principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It hearkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a Muybridge photo series springing into action, or, in terms kids can relate to, like a video without a screen. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: <i>Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!</i> Every child who opens the book will be amazed - and so will every parent. 2146002 22 11 2007 Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book total:306|5:176|4:89|3:37|2:3|1:1| 306 1354 374 109 4 2 false false Fri May 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 13:01:38 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 13:18:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 11:24:32 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 12:01:24 -0700 2008 Gallop!, Workman Publications, 2007, 12 pgs, scanimation board book.
