Animation research

Reference: http://lifestyle.iloveindia.com/lounge/history-of-animation-2221.html

Animation is basically the rapid display of a sequence of images, of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions. The display is so rapid that it creates an illusion of movement in the viewers. The phenomenon of persistence of vision is the main basis behind the development of animation. In case you want to further explore the origin and history of animation,

First person who created animation was J. Stuart Blackton was the first person to make an animated film, which he called "Humorous phases of funny faces". For the purpose, he used to draw comical faces on a blackboard, one after the other, and film them. In 1910, Emile Cohl came out with the first paper cut-out animation. The development of celluloid, around 1913, made animation much easier to manage. While talking about the history of animation, three names that are definitely worth mentioning are those of Winsor McCay of United States & Emile Cohl and Georges Melies of France.

Other words for animation Hoopla, exciting, flurry, haste, power, motion, vivacity trip, turmoil,

interactive comics with use of traditional

I discovered different's types of interactive comics on the inter web some using traditional uses so using your cursor to turn over the page to read on, when I was exploring this method I thought it was a lot simpler than doing the modern interactive way when i had to interact with the comic playing the main character and finding how done the crime that was hotel then colours in hotel was every basic black, white and red, the same with the other interactive comic I explored into, I thought the better one would be the traditional one because it is what i grew up with paper based reading not interactive, I think it was a really good idea but at the same time not i like the newer way because every one can access the internet, instead of buying a book and reading once then it's left laying around gathering dust, It's saving the planet so they aren't cutting down trees and they are using a lot more power source instead so it's a debate on how I see it.

Logo's and history

Logos

Disney history Animation is the transformation of still images turned into motion by constantly parading the stills, one after another. Through creativity, dedication and technology, this form of art can be advanced to great limits and even beyond imagination.

Co-founded by Walter Elias Disney, the Walt Disney Company today has branched out to various entertainment studios, theme parks, products and other media productions with an annual revenue of approximately US $30 billion’.

The Walt Disney logo, like the company, has served as a beacon for decent family entertainment and worldwide recognition. The Walt Disney logo is a ‘stylized version of the founder’s signature’ that signifies the brand name and promises secure, cheerful and quality American mainstream entertainment.

Other than the regular logo, the company uses different logos on its different products. A castle on a blue background version of the Walt Disney logo is used for the movie releases and as the curtain-raiser to its films.

Similarly, the Walt Disney signature with “World” added to it is used for the company’s resorts "Walt Disney World Resort", a Mickey’s head is adopted for the company’s Mickey Mouse Club and “Studios” was added to the Walt Disney logo signifying Disney Studios around the world.

The original Walt Disney logo, to a large extent, has retained its uniqueness, however, over the time, different animations and styles were introduced in the Walt Disney logo to complement the entertainment quality and the technological breakthroughs of the era. No doubt, the Walt Disney logo has branded the company.

Mini bio of the man who created Disney

A pioneer in the field of animation, Walt Disney was an animator, film director, and screenwriter and film producer. The founder of The Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney created of the first full-length-animated feature, the first all-colour cartoon and the first cartoon with sound. He was nominated for 59 Academy Awards and won 26 of them, making him the individual with the most awards and nominations in history. He died of lung cancer on December 15,1966.

Cryogenically Frozen?

There is a popular urban legend that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen after his death and that his body is sealed in a tomb under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. This claim has been continually denied by Disney's family and discredited for two reasons. First, it is well documented that Walt Disney was cremated after his death. Second, the first person to be cryogenically frozen was Dr. James Bedford, an event that occurred a month after Disney's death^.
