animation technology history

MAGIC LANTERN


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.


1824

THAUMATROPEmeans “magic turn”

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).

1831

PHENAKITOSCOPE

The phenakitoscope featured spinning disks reflected in mirrors that 
made it seem like the pictures were moving.

1834
ZOETROPE

The zoetrope was a hollow drum that housed images on long interchangeable 
strips that spin and made the images appear to move.

1868
FLIP-BOOK

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.
1877

MOVIEOLA/PRAXINOSCOPE

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.
