  • Zoetrope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope

    Zoetrope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope
    The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion

  • Flip Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_book

    Flip Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_book
    A flip book or flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change. Flip books are often illustrated books for children, but may also be geared towards adults and employ a series of photographs rather than drawings.

  • Praxinoscope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxinoscope

    Praxinoscope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxinoscope
    n animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. It was invented in France in 1877 by Charles-Émile Reynaud. Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder. The praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors, placed so that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned.

  • Stop Motion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion

    Stop Motion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion
    An animation technique that physically manipulates an object so that it appears to move. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSzCLf8tjP4
