Today we had a session with Lee where he gave us a brief background on animation, where it all began, different types and some examples of designers.
thaumatrope -
a card with different pictures on opposite sides, as a horse on one side and a rider on the other, which appear as if combined when the card is twirled rapidly, thus illustrating the persistence of visual impressions.
Here's an example of one of the best thaumatropes on YouTube. Really like the effect, so simple yet so effective. Definitly worth having a go.
zoetrope-
A 19th-century optical toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of continuous motion
Phonographantasmascope-
I can't actually find an online definition for a Phonographantasmascope although you can see the footage below and decide for yourself. Essentially it is a different kind of zoetrope, in this case based on flat images drawn or stuck onto a rotating disc, generally onto a CD or Vinyl player.
