 Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion. A 5,200 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides. This has been claimed to be an example of early animation.[1] However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word.[2] The phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, as well as the common flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 1800s, while a Chinese zoetrope-type device was invented already in 180 AD.[3][4][5][6] These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.

2. Making the Simple Animation Models
November 06, 2009
Make your models uncomplicated, simple and bold. Use primary colours. You don’t need a lot of details and so forth.
You only need two or three facial features to animate. Any more than that it becomes complex and expressions will be hard to emote to the viewer. Think of Gromit for example. He does not speak and most of his emotions are expressed using his eyes, eyebrows and ears.
You only need a few body features to animate. For example arms, legs and head. Although many stop motion characters may merge the head and body into one for example and have no legs or arms at all.
