Early Philosophical Toys (Pre-1900s)


Zoetrope Originally developed in the 1830s
- A zoetrope is a cylinder with vertical slits on its sides.
- Inside the cylinder, a band of sequenced images creates an animation effect.
- As the cylinder spins, viewers see a continuous motion illusion through the slits.

Flipbook ( Kineograp ) - 1868


- A flipbook uses a series of static images that create the illusion of movement
when flipped quickly.
- Latin for “moving picture,” the kineograph (known as the flipbook) debuted in
1868. The kineograph is a small book of drawings, with each page conveying a
different form of movement, so that when the pages are flipped quickly in
sequence, they animate a scene.

Early Film Animation (1900s–1930s)


Stop-Motion and Hand-Drawn Animation
- Émile Cohl's "Fantasmagorie" (1908) – Considered the first fully animated film.
- Winsor McCay’s "Gertie the Dinosaur" (1914) – One of the first character-driven
animations.
Felix the Cat (1919) – One of the first popular animated characters.
Technological Advances
- The cel animation technique (patented in 1914) allowed animators to draw
moving elements on transparent sheets, speeding up production.
- Walt Disney’s "Steamboat Willie" (1928) introduced synchronized sound in
animation.

Computer-Generated
Imagery (CGI) Animation
1970 – Present
It revolutionized animation, leading to
Toy Story (1995), the first fully CGI
feature. It replaced traditional methods
and enabled hyper-realistic animation.

The Importance of Peter Roget’s


"Persistence of Vision" and Its Role in
Animation
What is Persistence of Vision?

- A phenomenon where the human eye retains an image for a fraction of a second
after it disappears.

- Discovered and popularized by Peter Mark Roget in 1824.

Animation
The Science Behind Persistence of Vision
How It Works:

- The human eye and brain process images at a rate of about 1/16th of a second.
- When images are shown in rapid succession, the brain blends them into the
illusion of motion.

Example:

- Flipbooks: A series of still images create the illusion of movement when flipped
quickly.

Role in Modern Animation

Frame Rate:
- Modern animation typically uses 24 frames per second (fps) to create smooth
motion.
- Persistence of vision ensures that the frames blend seamlessly.

Applications:
- 2D and 3D animation.
- Video games, movies, and virtual reality.

Why Persistence of Vision Still Matters

Foundation of Visual Storytelling:


- Enables creators to bring characters and stories to life.

Technological Advancements:
- Even with digital animation, the principle remains central to creating believable
motion.

Future Implications:
- Virtual reality and augmented reality rely on this concept for immersive
experiences.
