  1. Animation

  2. Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

  3. Persistence of visionis the phenomenon of the eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina.

  4. Timeline 1824 Peter Mark Roget, who did research in physiology at the University of London, published "Persistence of Vision with Regard to Moving Objects." This book presented the idea that a succession of still images could create the appearance of motion. 1895 The age of movie camera and projector begins .. experimenters discover they can stop the crank and restart it again to obtain special effects. Example: James Stuart Blackton creates "The Enchanted Drawing" in 1900 .. a caricature is drawn with no evidence of an artist 1917 John Bray patents rotoscoping (developed by Max Fleischer) Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films.[1] 1919 Koko the clown (Max Fleischer) appears

  5. Timeline 1920's Otto Mesmer creates Felix the Cat 1928 Walt Disney releases "Steamboat Willie" .. an early cartoon w/ sound -- cartoons are now seen as entertainment. Disney innovations over the next 10-20 years include the storyboard, pencil tests, and the multi-plane camera stand (3D effects). Disney also promoted the analysis of real-life motion. 1937 Snow White is released at cost of $1.5M 1930’s Fleischer studios create Betty Boop and Popeye Warner Bros .. Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Bugs Bunny appear 1940’s Walter Lantz and Woody Woodpecker, Paul Terry and Mighty Mouse, MGM w/ Tom & Jerry (animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera) 1982 Tron, MAGI, movie with CG premise

  6. Timeline 1983 Bill Reeves at Lucasfilm publishes techniques for modeling particle systems. "Demo" is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. The paper also promotes motion blur. 1984 The Last Starfighter, CG is used in place of models 1988 Willow uses morphing in live action film 1989 Wallace and Gromit debut in Nick Park's A Grand Day Out, losing at the Oscars to Park's Creature Comforts. The Little Mermaid signals a revival in Disney animation. The Simpsons gain its own series, starting with a Christmas special. 1991 Disney's Beauty and the Beast becomes the only animation ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar (losing to The Silence of the Lambs). On TV, The Ren and Stimpy Show is launched by John Kricfalusi, aiming to capture the spirit of anarchic Hollywood cartoons.

  7. Timeline 1992 The TV show Batman – The Animated Series is praised for its stylish take on the superhero genre. 1993 Tim Burton produces Disney's musical stop-motion feature The Nightmare before Christmas, directed by Henry Selick. Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park revolutionizes the effects blockbuster with its computer-generated dinosaurs 1994 Disney's The Lion King becomes the highest-grossing traditionally animated feature, not taking into account inflation. 1995 John Lasseter's Toy Story is the world's first feature-length CGI cartoon, heralding the biggest animation revolution since Steamboat Willie. In Japan, Mamoru Oshii's feature Ghost in the Shell and Hideaki Anno's TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion, both SF animations, become international hits. Nick Park's The Wrong Trousers wins an Oscar. 1999 The Matrix and its later sequels blur live action and animation in the presentation of the action (influenced by Japanese animation) and its continual digital manipulation of the image at the level of individual frames. Brad Bird's traditional cartoon feature The Iron Giant is praised but fails at the box office.

  8. Timeline 2002 The Two Towers, the second part of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, introduces Gollum, a CGI character whose movements and expressions are based on actor Andy Serkis. The Blue Sky studio becomes a successful CGI player with Ice Age. Disney's semi-traditional animation Treasure Planet flops disastrously. 2003 Pixar's CGI Finding Nemo becomes the highest-grossing animated feature (surpassed in 2004 by Dreamworks' Shrek 2). 2005 The return of stop-motion, with Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride and Wallace and Gromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, by Nick Park and Steve Box. The latter wins an Oscar. Chicken Little, Disney's first in-house CGI film since Dinosaur, has a lukewarm reception. 2006 Disney buys out Pixar animation. The year sees a glut of feature animation: 14 films are scheduled for American release alone.
