. r28,000 BC: Not so much animation where but they would they an animate or make the thoughts they have or experiences in their lives. What I mean is that where they would draw frames somewhat like a storyboard; so when hunters would do something great someone would paint what they did on the wall.
1066: The year of The Battle Of Hastings, this year is relevant because artists would document the battle by being woven being read from left to right like how many people read still. This documentation was/is called The Bayeux Tapestry.
1500′s: In Turkey shadow puppetry was very big, and there was a very famous character that was created called Karagoz. Basically this creation involved at character made from camel hide moving behinda muslin screen; obviously the light source was a candle lit behind the screen.
1700′s: Like the 1500′s Turkey shadow puppeteers became very popular in the country of France. The concept was still the exact same as it was 200 years ago but now the puppets we’re made of wood.
1817: The first ever kaleidoscope was created by a man called Sir David Brewster. A kaleidoscope was in essence a tube with 2 two mirrors inside that reflect the pattern that the little pieces of glass inside would show, they are still used this very day for children as toys.
1824: The thaumatrope was created, this piece is usually credited to either John Ayrton Paris or Peter Mark Roget but no one is certain about who created it first. How this simple looking illusion worked was where you was draw a picture on each side of the card, put wire or thread through holes on either side and spin. If spun fast enough both images would seamlessly merge into one and look like they are both on the same side
1834: The Wheel Of Life was created, more commonly known as a Zoetrope, credited creator of this devises was George Homer. How this would work would be that there are many different images inside the barrel and slits to peer through. Once the barrel was spun and you look through a slit and see a animation of maybe a horse running or people dancing. Many advertise this as the first gif, or a physical representation of what a gif is.
1838: Where a creation called a Stereoscope was invented by a man called Charles Wheatstone. This was the one of the first ways that something that looked 2D was made to seem that it was 3D. How this worked was there was a piece of word, metal, etc in between your eyes and also 2 different lenses to look through; so when you looked at the same image it seemed 3D like.
1886: The first single lens camera was created by the inventor Louis Le Prince. Obviously the first step to making an animation is frames; so when the creation of the camera happened animation because revolutionized, so many different types of animation where able to happen because the camera was invented. Which I will go into.
1930s: Where comics started to become more mainstream and some of the greatest stories every told where wrote. Like Tarzan and Dick Tracy. People like to refer to this as the golden age for comic book writing.
1934: The creators of one of or maybe the most well known super heroes of all time wrote the comic “Superman” Which obviously started the creation of many other super heroes and villains, so in turn made the comic book scene grow massively. The creators credited for “Superman” we’re Jerome Siegel and Joseph Shuster.
1975: The year that the artist/animator Will Vinton copyrights the phrase/term claymation, which everyone knows is how Wallace And Gromit was created. This is where cameras really became involved in animation because of the real life aspect of claymation.
1995: The year Pixar created the first fully 3D animated movie, probably the most famous animated movie “Toy Story”.
2005: One of the most famous claymations was created by Aardman Animations. And this was named Wallace And Gromit.
