Thaumatrope


Thaumatrope was a toy that amused both children and adults in Victorian times. This youtube example is really neat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rH9yL-wYqI

Magic Lantern Animation



The magic lantern was first discribed in the west in 1671 by the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher. An example of the magic lantern is shown to the right. People would gather to watch shows in halls and other meeting places. Here is a link to a youtube video with an example of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgHdX0mhyy4

What I did Today.

03/12/09
Today my group did a mind map and agreed on what idea we wanted to use. Then we laid out a list of props to be drawn and made out of plasticine. I made a wire support for the dog then tried to work out how best to go about making the changing room building. I came to the conclusion that I will need to make a wire frame for it also. Which I will do on Monday.
