Praxinoscope (1877)

The praxinoscope, invented by French scientist Charles-Émile Reynaud, was a more sophisticated version of the zoetrope. It used the same basic mechanism of a strip of images placed on the inside of a spinning cylinder, but instead of viewing it through slits, it was viewed in a series of small, stationary mirrors around the inside of the cylinder, so that the animation would stay in place, and provide a clearer image and better quality. Reynaud also developed a larger version of the praxinoscope that could be projected onto a screen, called the Théâtre Optique.












Wikipeida

As later on 1894 Reynaud Invention of the Praxinoscope developed, as his moving animation began to use hand drawn element. By experimenting his work of an animation he made called Autour une cabine.

As the background of the animation,of Autour une cabine was projected separately, as moving the figured charater was to be painted in an individual cells. Which had to be mounted onto a paper and leather band using to project the large Praxinoscope that had to be operated, using the mirror to create speed action of the scene.

Filp Book

The filp book is an orginal aniamtional movement that was introduce by John Barnes in 1868. As the ideal filp book is used from modern society from the development with Zoetrope. Where the book contained a serise of picture that gradually moves from next page to another to create an illusion of motion. Which were often hand drawn by other artist to bring there idea of artwork to life.

Since other example like the Mutoscope was invented during 1894 since it is basically a filp book that in a box with crake handle to filp the pages.

Phenakistoscope

The Phenakistoscope is an early animation device, that was used to create a persistence from illusion of motion.
As the principle of the device was exstablished by Belgian Joseph Plateau. As Plateau was later revealed it during 1832,from later the same year when Austrian Simon von Stampfer invented the stroboscopic disk, from a similar machine.


Thaumatrope

The Thaimatrope is a small victorian invention of a quick animation. That was clame to be invented by john Ayrton Paris or Peter mark. As i found information from Wikipedia from an exmaple how thaimatrope was used. For example one side of the picture included a bare tree of the rose and the other side of the disk. Which spines one of each side to creat motion effect.

As the Thaumatrope was one of the simple mechanical optical toys that was used persistence the vision from the importance element of recongnising the cinematographys and animations.
