"ANIMATION HISTORY"

“Animation” iz a graphic representation of drawings 2 show shitting within those drawings. A series of drawings r linked 2gether and usually photographed by a camera. The drawings have been slightly changed between personalised frames so when they r played back in rapid succession [24 frames per second] there appears to b unseamed shitting within da drawings.

Pioneers of ‘Animation’ include -Winsor McCay- of the United States & -Emile Cohl- & -Georges Melies- of France. Some consider -McCay's Sinking of the Lusitania from 1918 as the prototypal enlivened feature film.
Early ‘animations’ which started appearing b4 1910, consisted of ultimate drawings photographed one at a time. It was extremely labor intensive as there were literally hundreds of drawings per time of film. The development of celluloid around 1913 quickly prefabricated ‘animation’ easier 2 manage. Instead of numerous drawings, da ‘animator’ today could make a complex scenery and/or spotlight & sandwich moving characters in between several other pieces of celluloid, which is transparent xcept 4 where drawings r painted on it. Dis prefabricated it extra 2 repeatedly entertainer da scenery as it remained static and only da characters moved. It also created an illusion of depth, especially if spotlight elements were settled in da frames.


“Walt Disney” took aliveness 2 a new level. He was da 1st animator to add sound 2 his movie cartoons with da premiere of “Steamboat Willie”. In 1937, he produced da 1st flooded length enlivened feature film, -Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.
With da introduction of computers, aliveness took on a full nu meaning. Many feature films of 2day had aliveness incorporated in2 them for special effects. A flick same -Star Wars- by -George Lucas- would rely heavily on computer aliveness for some of its special effects. ‘Toy Story’ produced by ‘Walt filmmaker Productions’ & ‘Pixar Animation Studios’, became da 1st flooded length feature flick enlivened entirely on computers when it was released.
