Hello and welcome!
Im Eduard, and I work together with my two talented sons.
We create motograph moving pictures, also known as barrier-grid animations, scanimations, or kinegrams - a truly magical blend of design and science.

FAQ
What is a motograph or scanimation?
A motograph (also known as scanimation or barrier grid animation) is an optical illusion where a still image appears to move when a striped transparent overlay (grid) is passed over it. It’s a fascinating, vintage animation technique brought to life through print.
What files will I receive?
You will receive two high-resolution files: 1) The interlaced image (the special picture). 2) The transparent overlay with black stripes (the grid). Both are prepared for professional or home printing.
How do I view the animation?
Print the interlaced image on regular paper and the striped grid on transparent film. Place the grid over the image and slide it slowly side to side — the animation will appear like magic!
Can I request a custom animation idea?
Absolutely! Just send us a description of your idea, and we’ll let you know what’s possible before starting the project.
Can this be used for commercial or print products?
Yes! These animations are perfect for books, postcards, educational materials, posters, or promotional items. Just let us know your intended use.
Do you offer printing services?
We do not offer physical printing, but we’ll prepare all files in print-ready format and give you clear instructions for printing at your local shop.
