My Timeline

My Timeline:

This is my timline on all the different types of animation productions and animators such as Tex Avery, Sullivan's studio and Walt Disney.
It also shows the year the animations and the devices were created such as the Phenakistoscope, Kinetoscope and Sound film. I have introduced famous animations for example, Felix the Cat, Tom and Jerry and Donald Duck.

Stop Motion

Stop Motion:

Stop motion also known as stop frame is an animation technique to make a physically object appear to move on its own. 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". Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion using objects is sometimes referred to as object animation.
