What is Animation?
Animation is the display of drawings,
photographs, images, and inanimate objects
in a series, sequence, or progressive manner.
Because of the phenomenon known as
persistence of vision, animation is used to
create the illusion of movement.
Throughout history, animation has been
created in a variety of ways.
To effectively create the illusion of motion,
animation typically employs a frame rate
of 24 frames per second.
History of
Animation
Zoetrope
Ting Huan invented it in China in 180 AD, out
of translucent paper panels painted with
action sequences.
William George Horner created a modern version
of the Zoetrope, which was a cylindrical shape with
slits along the sides and pictures of progressive
photographs inside.
ZOETROPE
Thaumatrope
was a Victorian-era toy consisting of a
circular disk with two images on each side
and its center tied to a string so that when it
is turned quickly, the images appear to be
combined into one image.
Phenakistoscope
was invented in 1831 by Austrian Simon von
Stampfer and Belgian Joseph Platue. It was a
technique developed prior to the creation of
cartoon-based images.
Phenakistoscope
Flip book
John Linnet created it in
1868. It is a sequence of
sequential images that,
when flipped quickly,
create the illusion of
motion.
Praxinoscope
It is a more complicated version of the Zoetrope.
Charles-Emile Reynauld created it. which
included steady mirrors inside a cylinder to
improve image quality for a clearer animation
Praxinoscope
Magic Latern
It is considered the classic projector because it
used a simple lamp and translucent oil painting
to project a larger image on a flat surface.
Magic Latern
However, these animation tools vanished at the
end of the twenty-first century. New methods
were developed, resulting in the advancement of
cartoon-based images.
