A few more experimental animation techniques were developed over the next decade including methods like rotoscoping , which produced some hit-and-miss results. It was the opening of a small studio in Los Angeles , however, that changed the game forever. The only thing left to see is how the students of animation school today are going to revolutionize the world of animation tomorrow. Discover the magic of animation and visual effects at NYFA.

Some notable examples from ancient times, as well as an example from the European Renaissance, include:. A bronze-age pottery bowl depicts goats leaping Shahr-e Sukhteh, Iran.
With the spread of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America in the 18th and 19th centuries came experimentation with machines that would make images appear to move. The Magic Lantern is an image projector using pictures on sheets of glass.
Since some sheets contain moving parts, it is considered the first example of projected animation. The thaumatrope housed a rotating mechanism with a different picture on each side. When rotated, you saw a combined picture known as persistence of vision. The phenakitoscope featured spinning disks reflected in mirrors that made it seem like the pictures were moving. The zoetrope was a hollow drum that housed images on long interchangeable strips that spin and made the images appear to move.
The flip-book, also known as the kineograph, reached a wide audience and is credited with inspiring early animators more than the machines developed in this era. The praxinoscope expanded on the zoetrope, using multiple wheels to rotate images.
It is considered to have shown the first prototypes of the animated cartoon. The early 20th century marks the beginning of theatrical showings of cartoons, especially in the United States and France. Many animators form studios, with Bray Studios in New York proving the most successful of this era. Musical Mews and Feline Follies introduced Felix the Cat—often considered the first animated movie star. And the finished movies, despite how labor-intensive they were, looked simple: line drawings on spare backgrounds.
Early animators responded to this problem by choosing to display the exacting process itself. He sweats under the pressure, enduring several mishaps. Gertie, a lumbering and amiable beast, emerges from a cave. When Gertie grabs a woolly mammoth 9 by the tail and flings it into a lake, McCay exploits that blank space and shrinks the mammoth to minuscule size as it vanishes comedically far into the distance. The first generation of animators often conjured up fictitious interactions with their hand-drawn characters.
In , the producer J. Bray and the animator Earl Hurd began patenting the process known as cel animation, which was a crucial step in the industrialization of the art form. Bray also set up a studio to produce cartoons quickly, for wide distribution.
