After reading about the history of animation I learned the complexity to create one. And even more now that my group and I are creating some animation. I thought about how many times I have watched an animation, and I think more times than movies. When I was just a kid, I only saw disney animations. But seeing it is different from knowing all the things that requires to create one. I got amazed by learning that the early approaches to motion art started 5,200 years ago, and one of the evidence are the murals of Egypt. Then, as the film didnt exist, one of the ideas that really got my attention was the flip book. They used different layers of papers and flip them really quickly so that they had as a result a drawing in motion. It was so genious. I remember how many times I did small flip books in high school. So the invention of Jones Barnes Linnett of creating the flip book on 1868 is one of the design inventions that no matter time, it will preserve on the history. Then, when the film came, the first animation was created on 1900. So the history of animation, can be used as a guide, as a inspiration to create something unique, something that will be preserved for many decades. And connecting it to my assignment, I feel like my group and I should have as a guide the inventions of the past, to create something that represents the present. Because it is impossible to create something and not knowing where it came from.
