The first lecture of year 2 of the graphic design course, it was about the history of animation.
The history of animation started out in 1915 with max fliescher with the rotoscope, this device creates movement by looking through holes and seeing lots of drawn images on paper that are spinning round which creates an illusion to the brain that there is one image and it is moving. There also came cell animation 1915 for example Gertie the dinosaur and Koko the clown, Windsor taming animation McKay as cell animation was faster, less expensive and streamlining.
The wolfman 1999 by Tim hope was a simple cartoon drawing mapped in 3D studio this was even quicker and developed as new technology allowed rifinement, this was the start of the take off for animation.
There are companies that have created new contemporary 3D rotoscope called zoatropes which are sculptures, spinning and then a light switches on and off while it is spinning so it looks like the sculptures are moving.
