Animation is a quick display of images in order to make an illusion of the pictures moving. There has been a number of different ways to make this happen for example. . .
Zoetrope was originally produced in 180 AD in China by a man named Ting Haun, but in 1834 William George Horner produced an up to date Zoetrope. The modern Zoetrope is a cylinder with slits around the sides. Around the inside edge of the cylinder there are pictures on the opposite side of the slits, so as the cylinder is spun you look through the slits and it give the illusion that the pictures are moving.
Flip book was first introduced in 1868 by a man named John Barns Linnet. The Flip book is a number of pictures flipped very fast to create the illusion effect.
In 1894 the Mutoscope was introduced it is basically the same effect except that the flip book is in a box and you use a handle to flip the pages.
Stop Motion is one of the techniques used today; Stop motion is used for objects not people. The object will be photograph then moved just slightly and photograph again and so on so that when all the photos have been put together and played the object will look as if it’s moving by itself.
CGI is the most used technique in films etc today. Some films are done completely in CGI like most kids films. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWpaf7SNn1g
