Unit 35 Animation History Techniques & Style
By Sonia Woods
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.
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.
Today, animations have moved from simple black and white drawings and films to sophisticated 3-D colored movies.
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.
The Flipbook.
In 1829 Sir Isaac Newton made a real breakthrough in animation, when he improved on the Joseph Plateau’s invention of the Phenakistoscope. His technique has improved and has presented slightly changes, creating a difference in the circular tube. the when the handle tis turned it causes the image to move. The slits above the images makes it possible for the viewing of the images as the film passes wheels producing motion like viewing.
