Slides: 1: A Brief History of Early Experimental & Fine Art Animation
From the earliest cave painting of animals under flickering torch light in caves, to the magic lantern, to the zoetrope- humans have been inventing new ways of harnessing motion, image, light and time to tell stories. Many animation tools were developed by artists/scientists who adapted the technology to tell a story in a more entertaining and efficient way.
List of animation tools/technologies:
