The beginnings of animation: James Stuart Blackton
James Stuart Blackton (Sheffield, 1875 – Hollywood, 1945) was a director and producer of silent films. He founded the Vitagraph Studios and is considered the father of American animation. He began his professional career as an illustrator for the New York World newspaper. Blackton discovered the cinema when in 1896 he was sent to interview Thomas Edison in the public presentation of the Vitascope. In 1900 Blackton directs for Thomas Edison the silent film “The Enchanted Drawing”, which contains the first animated sequences in 35mm film.
Stop-motion
In 1906 the Vitagraph patented a new technique to animate inert objects, the stop-motion, also denominated like passage of crank or American movement. Stop-motion seeks to create the sensation of movement by arranging a series of successive still images. It is a technique used very often in animation both in the origins and today, used to provide movement to physical objects.
