A storytelling device where a long, continuous painted or printed scroll is wound between two spools and manually cranked past a viewing window or frame. As you turn the crank, the landscape or narrative scene slowly scrolls by, creating the illusion of traveling through space or watching a story unfold. It's like an analog precursor to film, popular in the 19th century for showing scenic journeys, biblical stories, or adventure tales. The continuous horizontal motion gives viewers the sense of movement through the depicted world, similar to watching scenery pass by from a moving train.
I would turn a video piece I am working on into one singluar image that could be automatically moved. I was unaware that this was an actual thing until I stared doing some research, so it seems much more doable now.
One of the things I am still considering is the frame or form around the moving parts and image.
Ideally it would be a seamless, clean and simple object that resembled a still framed image.
