Description
****Viewing the zoetrope animations is not as simple as just sticking it on and hoping it works you need to view it through a camera or with a strobe light****
To view with a camera
To view the effect through a camera phone, place the disc on the turntable at the proper speed under a bright light. The shutter will blend the frames together to form a cohesive image on the screen.
(The brighter the light, the clearer the image will appear, so try to use as many light sources as possible for the best results!)
To view with a strobe light app
You can also view the effect with the naked eye through the use of a strobe light or strobe light app. VinylStrobe is a phone app which automatically flashes at 30Hz.
Point the flash at your spinning turntable to see the moving picture. A darker room can provide higher contrast, so try turning out the lights for a clearer image.

2020’s A Hero’s Death saw Fontaines D.C. land a #2 album in he UK, receive nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards, and sell out London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. This Blood Records exclusive edition of their new album 'Skinty Fia' comes pressed to animated zoetrope picture disc, hand numbered on a first-come-first-served-basis. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicised, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph - the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatised culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.
