  • Phenakistoscope invented by Dr. Roget, MT

    Phenakistoscope invented by Dr. Roget,  MT
    It was invented in 1831, simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. got from wikipedia
  • The phenakitstoscope created by Dr.Simon Ritter and Dr.Joseph Antonie Plateau

    The phenakitstoscope created by Dr.Simon Ritter and Dr.Joseph Antonie Plateau
    This machine produced an illusion of movement by allowing a viewer to gaze at a rotating disk containing small windows; behind the windows was another disk containing a sequence of images. When the disks were rotated at the correct speed, the synchronization of the windows with the images created an animated effect.
  • zoetrope by William George Horner MT

    The zoetrope devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion. The name zoetrope was composed from the Greek root words ζωή zoe, "life" and τρόπος tropos, "turning".
  • Flip book by John Barnes Linnett MT

    Flip book  by John Barnes Linnett  MT
    A flip book is a small book with relatively springy pages, each having one in a series of animation images located near its unbound edge. The user bends all of the pages back, normally with the thumb, then by a gradual motion of the hand allows them to spring free one at a time. The illusion of motion is created by the apparent sudden replacement of each image by the next in the series, but unlike those other inventions no view-interrupting shutter or assembly of mirrors is required and no view.

  • Creaters of the first animated film

    Computer-generated imagery (CGI)  by Edwin Catmull and Fred Parke  MT
    Computer-generated imagery (CGI) revolutionized animation the first fully computer-animated feature film was Pixar's Toy Story (1995). 2D CGI was first used in movies in 1973's Westworld, though the first use of 3D imagery was in its sequel, Futureworld (1976), which featured a computer-generated hand and face created by then University of Utah graduate students Edwin Catmull and Fred Parke.
