Animation is considered an optical illusion, since it gives the feel that things that wouldn’t be able to move by its own are indeed moving. These things can be images, drawings, objects of any kind and even people. We know people can move by their own, but we’ll talk about this particular technique later.
You could either animate in 2D by using a drawing, a painting or a photography. This kind of animation allows you to perform traditional animation (by hand) or digital animation. The other way you could animate is in 3D, and in here, you can only animate digital, if you don’t count stop motion, because most objects used here are three dimensional.
Animation began long before cinematography, so it’s not necessary to have a video to see an inanimate object move. It is believed that humans attempted to create motion as far back as the paleolithic period.
As a proof of its old existence, it has been discovered a 5,200-year old pottery bowl that has sequential images painted around it, and if you spin it, you’ll could get a motion painting. The same happens with the Phenakistoscope disc (introduced in 1833), which has several sequential images; unlike the bowl that only had 5 images, the disc had up to 13, so when you spin the disc, you would see a smoother animation.
One of the first, if not the first, animation projected and watched by a mass of people was using a projection praxinoscope, which used transparent slides, hand-painted. They were strips of slides that needed to be hand moved. The projection in the Théâtre Optique (which was the animated moving picture system that Émelie Reynaud invented) was accompanied with piano music, and some dialogue performed live.
When film became more common, some producers adapted the magic lantern to the “play” short loops of film. Same as Théâtre Optique, it used transparent slides which were painted over them to then project them.
