Animation involves photographing successive drawings to create the illusion of movement. Disney's 12 principles of animation include squash and stretch and anticipation. Eadward Muybridge photographed horses in motion in 1878, proving they have all four hooves off the ground when running. He also created the zoopraxiscope, an early movie projector. Thomas Edison invented the motion picture camera and kinetoscope, a peep-hole viewer installed in arcades. Winsor McCay was an animator known for the comic strip Little Nemo and animated film Gertie the Dinosaur, featuring a animated dinosaur he commanded. Keyframes define the starting and ending points of transitions between drawings in animation.

What is a Zoopraxiscope?

The zoopraxiscope is an early


device for displaying motion pictures.
Created by photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge in
1879, it may be considered the first movie projector. The
zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in
rapid succession to give the impression of motion. The stopmotion images were initially painted onto the glass, as
silhouettes. A second series of discs, made in 18921894,
used outline drawings printed onto the discs photographically,
then colored by hand.

Who was Thomas Edison and what did


he invent that changed the history of animation?

Was a businessman and inventor


Invented many things
Edison was granted a patent for the motion picture camera or
"Kinetograph". In 1891, Thomas Edison built a Kinetoscope,
or peep-hole viewer. This device was installed in penny
arcades, where people could watch short, simple films.
The kinetograph and kinetoscope were both first publicly
exhibited May 20, 1891.[77]

What was the Kinetoscope?


The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture
exhibition device. The Kinetoscope was
designed for films to be viewed by one
individual at a time through a peephole viewer
window at the top of the device. The
Kinetoscope was not a movie projector but
introduced the basic approach that would
become the standard for all cinematic
projection before the advent of video, by
creating the illusion of movement by
conveying a strip of perforated film bearing
sequential images over a light source with a
high-speed shutter.

Who was Winsor McCay?


Winsor McCay was an American
cartoonist and animator. He is best
known for the comic strip Little Nemo
(190514; 192426) and the animated
film Gertie the Dinosaur (1914)

Who was Winsor McCay?


Who/What was Gertie the Dinosaur?
Gertie the Dinosaur was an animated character
that debuted in February 1914.
McCay introduced Gertie as "the only dinosaur in
captivity", and commanded the animated beast with
a whip. Gertie seemed to obey McCay, bowing to
the audience, and eating a tree and a boulder,
though she had a will of her own and sometimes
rebelled.

What are Keyframes?

A key frame in animation and filmmaking is a drawing that


defines the starting and ending points of any smooth
transition. The drawings are called "frames" because their
position in time is measured in frames on a strip of film.
