The first documented case of animation was the magic lantern (in 1671). Produced with an oil lamp and a lens, images were painted onto a glass plate and projected onto a screen.
The thaumatrope came next in 1824. A picture was put onto either side of a piece of card attached to a peice of string and twirled around quickly to make the images appear as one.
A zoetrope is made into motion with a series of still pictures moving in quick succession (first documented in 1834).
The praxinoscope came in 1877 as the succesor to the zoetrope. it is a strip of images placed inside a spinning cylinder.
The flip book eventually arrived in 1868, and is a series of pictures changing steadily from one page to the next.
Stop motion is the general term for an animation technique which makes still objects appear to move, using individual photographs.
CGI:
CGI (computer generated imagery) is animation created and produced using computer technology. This is also used for special effects in movies and television shows.
An animation technique where animators trace over real film movements, frame by frame, to produce an animated peice.
