Early animation devices.

Zoetrope:

This is a pre-animation device, which produces the illusion of movement by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing the progressive phases of movement, E.D: a child kicking a football.

Mutoscope:

Also known as "what the butler saw" machines, due to depicting: rude, lewd and risque situations, and images. They were a pre-motion picture device that worked on the same principle of a flip-book, operated via a hand crank.

The kinetoscope was an early motion-picture exhibition device which introduced the basic approach to cinematic projection, which was used up until the advent of video.

Persistence of vision.

What is persistence of vision?

Persistence of vision is the illusion of movement using slightly different shots.

A good example of this would be if i animated a character of mine waving.

First shot would be the character preparing to wave. second shot, The character would start to wave. Each frame will be slightly from the previous in the movement of the characters' hand, depending upon fast or slow my character is moving will impact on how many frames will need to be used, i.e: if the character is slowly waving then that will use more frames. However, if my character was waving quickly then less frames will be needed.
