Virgin Atlantic has revealed an animated inflight film to substitute the seminal film made by Nexus almost 12 years ago. It was made by Art & Graft following ten-way pitch, and created a six minute video showing a central character weary of inflight safety messages. The Trip is the first new safety film established by the airline in almost 12 years and it took almost six months to make; the animation fuses hand-drawn illustrations with 3D techniques and features especially composed music and sound by Brains & Hunch. Other airlines have made similar attempts to engage their customers while the compulsory in-flight safety messages roll.

Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
