Took a look at classmates blogs today. Not much there yet, since class just started, but got a brief 411 on them. Introduced first project: Stop Motion Animation. This type of "filming" started before actual movies were made to first introduce movement to this field.
Zeotropes:a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
Flip Book: a book w/series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion. Artists such as George Melies, Jan Svankmajer, William Kentridge, and Michel Gondry make use of stop motion animation in their personal work.
Watched and discussed videos from Svankmajer, Gondry, Bill Viola and Kentridge.
