Gallop!

Gallop! A Scanimation Picture Book is the first children's book by artist Rufus Butler Seder, featuring Scanimation, which creates the illusion of moving pictures. The book was created in collaboration with the director of children's books at Workman Publishing Company, Raquel Jaramillo. Jaramillo proposed, designed and wrote the content for Gallop! after seeing Seder's Scanimation greeting cards at a gift fair in 2006.Publishers Weekly: The Book That Takes Off Running (October 22, 2007)

Scanimation is an optic animation effect invented, trademarked and patented by Rufus Butler Seder. In Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book, a sheet of acetate is placed over a "coded" picture of an animal. As the reader opens each page, the shifting layers create the illusion of that animal in motion.Publishers Weekly: The Book That Takes Off Running (October 22, 2007)

"Seder makes his children's book debut with his groundbreaking Scanimation technology in this primer on motion that actually depicts a variety of animals running, swinging from trees or in flight. Readers will gasp with delight when they open this book, produced as paper-over-board: a hidden tab in each heavy page slides an acetate layer printed with vertical black lines over an encoded, detailed image of a horse, rooster, turtle or other creature, and the layers' interaction creates the illusion of motion."—Publisher's WeeklyPublishers Weekly: The Book That Takes Off Running (October 22, 2007)
