The Zoetrope created the illusion of action from rapid successions of multiple images, each one slightly different to the next. The inventor (Although claimed to be William George Horner in 1834 who in fact produced a more sophisticated version) was Ding Huan who created the earliest Zoetrope in China around 180 AD. Ding Huan's device was called "The Pipe Which Makes Fantasies Appear” and was hung over a lamp. The device consisted of Pictures painted on the translucent paper panels. These images would appear to move when the device was spun as the light shone through the paper.
