 How Animation Works
Then
• Traditional animation used to be hand drawn
on paper repeatedly drawing the same image
to get a moving image.
• Drawn at 24fps (frames per second)
• Typically is harder and takes a longer time to
animate
Now
• Perfectional animation now is drawn on a drawing
tablet having the aid of computer shortcuts to
make a moving image
• Perfectional animation is drawn at 24fps (frames
per second)
• Is typically easier and takes less time to animate
 Phenakistiscope, Flip book, and Zoetrope
The phenakistiscope was
invented in 1833.The
phenakistiscope usually comes in
the form of a spinning cardboard
disc attached vertically to a
handle. Layed around the disc's
center is a series of pictures
showing images that when you
spin it it cereates an animation.
Small rectangular lines are
spaced evenly around the rim of
the disc. The user would spin the
disc and look inbetween the
moving slits at the images
reflected in a mirror.
Flip books are books of a serises
images that slightly variey from
page to page and when you flip
through the book it makes the
images apper that they are
moving.
The zoetrope was made around
1833.The zoetrope consists of a
cylinder with cuts vertically in the
sides. On the inner surface of the
cylinder is a band with images
from a set of pictures. As the
cylinder spins, the user looks
through the slits at the pictures
across creating the illusion of
motion.
The First Animation and First Featured Lenth Film
The first screening of animation was in made in
1877 and was screened on October 28, 1892. It was
made by Charles-Émile Reynaud french science
teacher.
The first feature lenth film that still exists with
