{"product_id":"gallop-a-scanimation-picture-book","title":"Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 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 harkens 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: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCan you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo!
