winsor mccay 

Zenas Winsor McCay was an American cartoonist and animator. Since a young age, McCay was a prolific, technically dextrous artist. He began his professional career making posters and performing for dime museums, and began illustrating newspapers and magazines in 1898.  his signature strip Little Nemo in Slumberland debuted, a work which demonstrated McCay's mastery of colour and linear perspective.  McCay joined William Randolph Hearst's chain of newspapers in 1911, after which his comic strip, vaudeville, and animation work was gradually curtailed as Hearst expected him to devote his energies to editorial cartooning.

The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 399–411 in its catalogues. Its total length is about 260 meters of film which, at Méliès's preferred projection speed of 12 to 14 frames per second,is about 17 minutes.

 An internationally popular success at the time of its release, it is the best-known of the hundreds of films made by Méliès, and the moment in which the spaceship lands in the Moon's eye remains one of the most iconic images in the history of cinema It was named one of the 100 greatest films of the 20th century. 

pixilation

This is a pixilation from me and james. The first person to produce one of these videos was a man called norman maclaren and it was called neighbours in 1952 hope you like it.

zoetrope

this is an example of a zoetrope. A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures. 

The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion. here is the link.

kinetoscope

this video is a example of the kinetoscope.The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device. The Kinetoscope was designed for films to be viewed by one individual at a time through a peephole viewer window at the top of the device. The Kinetoscope was not a movie projector but introduced the basic approach that would become the standard for all cinematic projection before the advent of video, by creating the illusion of movement by conveying a strip of perforated film bearing sequential images over a light source with a high-speed shutter.

early animation

this is a example of a early moving picture. .The Mutoscope was an early motion picture device, patented by Herman Casler on November 21, 1894.Like Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope it did not project on a screen, and provided viewing to only one person at a time. Cheaper and simpler than the Kinetoscope. here is the link.
