The information presented in this blog will look at some of the various inventions and Innovations, which has contributed to the development of animation over the years.

Over the decade, the art form has been used to store information throughout generations. Early century, information has been stored in various forms these include paintings, drawings, and writings, on wood, stone, scrolls, books bronze and gold materials. These provide a wealth of information about the past, which can be very useful.

The early animation began as simple drawings, shown in the form of the flipbook. When the pages are flicked in quick succession, it provides the appearance of a mini movie. This was then developed into the stage of 2-D drawings and then into 3-D drawings

The FlipBook.

Charlie Emile Raynaud 1893 invented the Praxinoscope that used turning mirrors, to reflect animated images as reflection. The reflection rate of the images was between 10 to 15 minutes.

in 1600 The Magic Lantern is one of the earliest inventions in the history of animation. It operates similarly to a slide projector, by showing tiny images, which is projected onto a wall or canvas so others can view it.

1600, it has been around for several years, it is not with certainty as to who made the first Magic Lanterns, however; it is believed that one of the earlier copies of the Magic Lantern is believed to have originated around the and was know as the Sturm Lantern, there are many magic lanterns in existence.

In 1829 Joseph Plateau invented the Phenakistoscope. Using the technique of different images, which are slightly different from each other. When positioned in a circular open tube with a handle to turn, the images viewed through the slits of the disc appeared continuous as it moved around the tube.

Isaac improved this technique. He created rows on a circular open tube, attached to a handle, to create movements. (88 words)

The phenakistoscope used a spinning disc. This was attached vertically to a handle, which held a disc in the center. The disc held a series of drawings. As it turned, it showed phases of the animation, via a cut out through a series of equally spaced radial slits as the disc spins. The scanning of the slits across the reflected images kept them from blurring together, creating a rapid succession of images which appeared as a single moving picture.

Its development has greatly aided the development of animation over the year. The scanning of the slits across the reflected images kept them from blurring together, allowing the user to view the images in rapid succession; thereby creating the appearance of a moving picture. The phenakistoscope uses the concept of the persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion, which was the reflected onto a mirror inside.[148 words)

The Stroboscope

The stereoscope was invented by, Charles Wheatstone, in 1838. The device created a unique presentation by differentiating the viewing of an image by the use of the left eye as opposed to that of the right eye. The device could speed up or slow down the image as well as develop depicting left-eye and right-eye views of the same scene, as a single three-dimensional image; Or generate a much faster view or make the scene slower

The Stroboscope was developed to generate a slower or movement of objects. The stroboscope uses a rotating disc with spaced holes in between the speed of the disc changes, as it is synchronized with the disc to create movement. Over the years, this discovery has impacted on many developments such as films research and testing.

The Zoetrope

The earlier image of what might have been a Zoetrope is a recording of animation painted on an earthenware bowl. It is believed that this was recorded over 5000 years ago, in Iran. It showed the image of a goat jumping up to eat leaves of a plant. This appeared to be one of the earliest pictures of animation ever recorded. This bowl is decorated with a series of images portraying a goat jumping toward a tree and eating its leaves. John Bate discovered an even earlier development of what appeared to be a zoetrope. He described the gadget as a circular wheel, which turned inside a glass. It consisted of picture cards on the four spokes of a wheel, which was turned around by heat inside a glass or horn cylinder. (132 words)

The praxinoscope was an animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. Charles-Émile Reynaud invented it in France in the year 1877. Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed on the inner surface of a spinning cylinder.

The praxinoscope improved on the Zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors, placed so that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned. Someone looking in the mirrors would, therefore, see a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, with a brighter and less distorted picture than the zoetrope offered.

This brought the technique of many images that are slightly different in a row on a circular open tube that is attached to a handle the person that wants to view the moving images would spin the handle to make them move. Through slits just above the images around the tube, the person would be able to see these images move.

Thomas Edison invented the motion picture camera. A Stroboscope is used to make a moving object appear to be moving slowly. It basically works with a rotating disc with evenly spaced holes in the line of sight between the viewer and the moving object as before. The rotational speed of the disc is changed and is then able to become synchronized with the movement of the ball say, making it slow this has been named the Stroboscope effect They are used in many forms of research as well as films testing the stresses of machinery

The Enchanted Drawing

A man named James Stuart Blackton used animation techniques to produce a short film. It documented the drawing process of characters, without ever showing the artist; this made it seem that the drawings simply appeared.

In 1829 Sir Isac Newton and his breakthrough in animation. This was followed by Joseph Plateau’s invention of the Phenakistoscope. This invention and the technique it uses is still around today.

In 1908 Thomas Edison, as well as Edward Muybridge, developed the Leland Stanford Race Horse

film passes wheels producing motion like viewing.

1908 Thomas Edison Edward Muybridge In 1872 Leland Stanford a race horse owner who had also been Governor of California discussed with other socialites, when whether or not when a horse galloped in order to prove did all four of the horse’s hooves leave the ground at the same time. This research impacted on the world of photographic The Image showed that when a horse leaped, the human brain perceived the movement of images.

In 1872 Leland Stanford a racehorse owner who had also been governor of California discussed with other socialites when a horse galloped all four of the horse’s hooves leave the ground at the same time… Using individual images of a horse moving this debate could be answered as the images were put together illustrating what happens. Many different images of the movement were created using this idea from animals to people doing all type of action sequences to show movement.

Eadweard Muybridge

The Image showed that when a horse leaped there becomes a leap the human brain perceived movement of images. In 1872

The result

The results settled the debate as it was proved that all four of the horse’s hooves, do Leave the ground all at once.

MAGIC LANTERN

The Magic Lantern is an image projector using pictures on sheets of glass. Since some sheets contain moving parts, it is considered the first example of projected animation.

The Magic Lantern, which uses hand drawn, images or drawn on sheets this is then projected o sheets of glass. Which moves. Creating projected animation.

The Magic Lantern is a small device used by showmen to entertain bystanders, by displaying semi-translucent slides. The slides at initial conception were not yet fully animated until around the end of the 17^th century.

In 1887 H. W. Goodwin created animation with his invention of the Celluloid Film. This film with the use of gum cotton and gum camphor.

The Kinetoscope is an early exhibitor for motion pictures during the early centuries. Thomas Edison designed it for the viewing of films in 1899. The Kinetoscope has a viewing hole at the top through which audience can look to see the performance. It was deemed as the first cinematic video. It creates an illusion of movements created by a perforated sequential film, as it passes over a light source with a high shutter speed. French inventor Louis Le Prince, who built on the idea developed by Thomas Edison, further developed this. The project was further enhanced by one of his employees William Kennedy Laurie Dickson in 1892. Dixon along with Edison further developed the Kinetoscope which became the innovation for the motion picture camera for commercial and another usage; this was its first publicly demonstrated at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Science on May 9, 1893.

Celluloid Film

In 1887. H.W. Goodwin invented nitrate celluloid film, which is made of gum cotton and gum camphor.

1919

FELIX THE CAT

Musical Mews and Feline Follies introduced Felix the Cat—often considered the first animated movie star.

1920

The most popular character and series of this time, Felix the Cat, started on the Feline Follies show from Sullivan’s studio. Otto Messmer not only created Felix, but he did the stories and directing on a schedule that made one film every two weeks.

1928

Disney did two Mickey Mouse animations, Plane Crazy and Galloping Gaucho without a distributor. He was working on the third animation, Steamboat Willie, when motion picture sound arrived. So he added sound to the third Mickey with the Powers sound system. It was not the first sound film though; Terry’s Dinner Time was released on Sept. 1st, but with unsynced sound. Steamboat Willie was the first sound animated film with synced sound. It made Mickey an international star, and launched the Disney studio of today. It also ushered in the new age of sound for animation.

1987

THE SIMPSONS

The Simpsons is an American adult animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and in 2009 it surpassed Gunsmoke as the longest-running American scripted primetime television series.

1982

Tron, A Disney feature has 15 minutes of computer animation for 235 scenes at a cost of $1,200 per second.

1988

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was released. Getting over $300 million, and it proved that animation, at least when combined with live action, was not limited to a children’s audience.

Tin Toy Directed by John Laseter, won the Academy Award. The film was produced by Pixar, it was the first computer animated film to win.
Cartoon Network broadcasts their film in over 2 million homes, by 1995 that figure rose to over 22 million.
The Lion King, Disney’s highest grossing pictures to date, was released.

1995 DreamWorks studio formed.

1995, Toy Story became the first fully computerized animated feature, ever to be released. It took in more money at the box office than any other film in.

Shrek from Dream Works Studios Feature animation won the first ever Oscar for an animated feature they beat out Pixar/Disney’s Monsters Inc.

2013

Elsa from the movie Frozen was made with 420,000 CGI threads, which was 20x more than the threads used for Rapunzel from tangled. It required the making of a new program called Tonic.

The film industry has evolved over the year. 1941 saw another featured film from Disney as it focused is attention on one of its famous character’s Mickey mouse.

There were new development and adjustments within the

Disney industry with characters such as Mickey Mouse and Cinderella.

The modern technology was invented to help improve and inject new techniques and stimulation into the Disney projects. A new 35mm projector was purchased to help

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

The multiple cameras specialize in creating motion pictures. The camera uses traditional animation processes. It can create a three-dimensional effect, although it is not actually stereoscopic.

At the University of Utah, and a man named Ed Catmull developed a method of creating computer-generated movies. It used a scripting language.

In 1972, Apple Computer Company produced a method which can be used to create 3-D films, and in 1995 Toy Story was released as the first full-length 3-D film.

1993 The animation industry, not the end, now we have 5-D animation.

Conclusion

The new equipment now used motion captures, for creating computer games. It also contained vertical strap for use on standard performance screen. Each strip was 7/8 inch[-22mm wide] these were angled to face the audience. Hironobu Sakaguchi was the first photorealistic computer animated film. This film has greatly raised the bar for animation.

Animation is about creating moving images. One of the earliest method of creating moving images in the early centuries was via the Magic Lantern.[10]

In 1829 Joseph Plateau invented the the Phenakistoscope. Using the technique of different images which are slightly different from each other. When positioned in a circular open tube with a handle to turn, the images viewed through the slits of the disc appeared contineous as it moved around the tube.

This invention was endorsed by Sir Isaac Newman who sought to improve on the discovery.

The Phenakistocope

Belgian born Joseph Plateau created the Phenakistoscope in 1841. This brought the technique of many images that are slightly different in a row and the circular opening tube. There is now an handle attached to enable easy operation for viewing. As the moving images turns it can be viewed through the slits above slits in the tube. [11]

IMAX at that time making a quarter films share of the $302 million dollars in totally from less than 100 IMAX screens. It now is annually released each holiday season in IMAX cinemas.

It also helps the director to have more control over the way the film is created. To get face capture the actors wore Skull Caps which were fitted with a tiny camera positioned in front of their faces, then it is transmitted to computers. Weta special effects company From New Zealand which had Extensive work in the `Lord of the Rings` trilogy, employed 900 people just because of the large amount of data which was generated. It needed to be cataloged and stored and easily available to everyone responsible for the project.

To get face capture the actors wore Skull Caps which were fitted with a tiny camera positioned in front of their faces, then it is
