Chronophotography is as a photographic technique from the Victorian era which captures movement. Stop Motion Animation

Invention:Stop Motion Animation Inventor: J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith Date: 1898 Stop motion is a simple process of turning still photographs into a moving picture. Position an object in its starting position and take a photograph. Move the object slightly and take another photograph, repeat this process until the object reaches its final location. When all the images are played in sequence it creates the illusion of movement. The first stop motion film was called The Humpty Dumpty Circus and film that brought wooden toys to life. Some of our most beloved films are made using this process E.G Wallace and Gromit,the Corpse Bride and Shaun the Sheep. M a k e y o u r o w n S t o p M o t i o n A n i m a t i o n

Invention: 3D Glasses Inventor: Date: 1922

The first public 3D film, The Power of Love, was released which has led to the 3D films released throughout the 1950s. The lenses of these 3D glasses were placed in comfortable cardboard or plastic frames, and could be sanitized and reused when the film was over. Make your own 3d glasses
