Abstract
A device that creates animation via the illumination of various LEDs through a film into which an image is cut. The film includes an image cut therein. The device includes a housing with a housing compartment formed by the film connected to a base via a wall. Secured within the housing compartment is a divider, which divides the compartment into a first and second chamber. A printed circuit board is secured within the compartment and includes a first and second LED, wherein the first LED is secured within the first chamber and the second LED is secured within the second chamber. A microcontroller unit controls the illumination of the first and second LEDs in conjunction with sound either from a microphone or a speaker to animate the image cut into the film.
