The idea came accidentally but its development draws on articulated animation techniques for inspiration.
This development is partly based on the idea of the led panel screens, but also on the precursor techniques to animation, like the thaumatrope disks, or the praxinoscope, where the effect of the persistance of image on the mind generates the illusion of motion. It consists in tracing a series of consecutive images, and then limiting the passage of light through each of them, one at a time. by limiting the light the effect achieved is similar to of a lightning, the movement of the light not being obstructive to perceive the illusion of motion.
As the adage says "A picture is worth a thousand words".
Tracking or holding the image in different surfaces can create a fixed in place sequence, as also varying the light exposure and the materials underneath the drawing can alter the final appearance. An interesting visual effect obtained through analogue means.
