Electric Image Animation System

An electric image animation system is a machine that helps people create pictures that can move! Imagine you have a book with lots of pictures, but instead of staying still they can now dance around and do all sorts of things.

The machine has lots of tiny little lights that can turn on and off really fast. It also has a special camera that takes pictures of the lights as they turn on and off. Then the machine puts all the pictures together, one after the other, so it looks like the pictures are moving!

It's just like when you draw pictures on a flipbook and quickly flip through the pages to see the pictures move. But with an electric image animation system, you can create much more complex animations and special effects.

Now, grown-ups use these machines to make movies and TV shows. They can make cartoon characters talk, make explosions look real, and make all sorts of amazing things happen on the screen. It's like magic!
