Animation is something I have always been curious about in the process of making animation, especially watching anime shows throughout my life. It is something that caught my eye on how much creativity can be made in animation. There were four out of all the animation videos that I wanted to write about my thoughts and emotions towards the instruments of developing animation. The four I chose to write about are phenakistoscope, fantasmagorie, flipbook, and logorama. The one I dislike is the phenakistoscope because just watching the video and the brightness of using the light to create moving images on a disk was bothering my eyes for the first minute of the video. Just staring at the spinning disk with the bright LEDs was not my way of trying to convey a message on the images to give movement. Just not what I would picture making animation for myself. The one I like throughout the rest is the flipbook because I love drawing as a passion and putting the different drawings on each page to convey movement is drawing my attention for a future hobby. I grew up making those flipbooks in middle school art classes and had a passion for drawing from that moment on. The one I felt was more confusing to make animation is the fantasmagorie because it is somewhat similar to doing flipbook, but it’s drawings in different frames and mixed into other drawings. I’m just confused by the videos that were provided and the drawings were overlapping each other to make an animated film on a traditional level. The one I would use for animation on the last project is logorama because it was hilarious to me to use European logos in stories with other logos and creating humor behind the video was golden for me to use as an example for using something in my last project for NMA 2050 class.
