Animated spinner camera viewing methods

While spinner animations may not be visible to the naked eye, using your smartphone or tablet offers a remarkably versatile way to observe and share videos featuring your spinners.

Easy Cell Phone Viewing Instructions

1. Go outside into bright sunlight. This is the most important step. This will not work well inside.

2. Open up your favorite social media app. (Tik Tok, Instagram and Twitter work great)

3. Open up the camera option within your app like you are going to record a new video

4. Spin your spinner and view it through your phone. The animation will show up when the spinner gets to the right speed. Usually as the spinner starts to slow down.

5. (Optional) Record your video and share it online! Make sure to tag @apyrodesign so we can see your awesome video.
