  • Animation 1 Animation
    Animation 1 Animation The bouncing ball animation (below) consists of these six frames. This animation moves at 10 frames per second. Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of static images and/or objects to create an illusion of movement. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although there are other methods. This type of presentation is usually accomplished with a camera and a projector or a computer viewing screen which can rapidly cycle through images in a sequence. Animation can be made with either hand rendered art, computer generated imagery, or three-dimensional objects, e.g., puppets or clay figures, or a combination of techniques. The position of each object in any particular image relates to the position of that object in the previous and following images so that the objects each appear to fluidly move independently of one another. The viewing device displays these images in rapid succession, usually 24, 25, or 30 frames per second. Etymology From Latin animātiō, "the act of bringing to life"; from animō ("to animate" or "give life to") and -ātiō ("the act of").[citation needed] History 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 Five images sequence from a vase found in Iran to convey the perception of motion. A 5,000 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides.

  • The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S
    Exploration in Imagination: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930s By Kendall Wagner In the 1930s, Americans experienced major changes in their lifestyles when the Great Depression took hold. A feeling of malaise gripped the country, as unemployment rose, and money became scarce. However, despite the economic situation, movie attendance remained strong during the decade.1 Americans attended films to escape from their everyday lives. While many notable live-action feature-length films like The Public Enemy (1931) and It Happened One Night (1934) delighted Depression-era audiences, animated cartoon shorts also grew in popularity. The most important contributor to the evolution of animated cartoons in this era was Walt Disney, who innovated and perfected ideas that drastically changed cartoon production.2 Disney expanded on the simple gag-based cartoon by implementing film technologies like synchronized sound and music, full-spectrum color, and the multiplane camera. With his contributions, cartoons sharply advanced in maturity and professionalism. The ultimate proof came with the release of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the culmination of the technical and talent development that had taken place at the studio. The massive success of Snow White showed that animation could not only hold feature-length attention but tell a captivating story backed by impressive imagery that could rival any live-action film. However, it would take nearly a decade of experimentation at the Disney Studios before a project of this size and scope could be feasibly produced. While Mickey Mouse is often solely associated with 1930s-era Disney animation, many are unaware that alongside Mickey, ran another popular series of shorts, the Silly Symphony cartoons.

  • A History of Beaver County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley The settlement of Beaver County began in February 1856 when fifteen families from Parowan moved by wagon thirty miles north to Beaver Valley. The county was created by the Utah legislature on 31 January 1856, a week before the Parowan group set out to make their new home. However, centuries before, prehistoric peoples lived in the area, obtaining obsidian for arrow and spear points from the Mineral Mountains. Later, the area became home to Paiute Indians. Franciscan Friars Dominguez and Escalante passed through the area in October 1776. The Mormon settlement of Beaver devel­ oped at the foot of the Tushar Mountains. In 1859 the community of Minersville was es­ tablished, and residents farmed, raised live­ stock, and mined the lead deposits there. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Mineral Mountains and other locations in the county saw extensive mining develop­ ment, particularly in the towns of Frisco and Newhouse. Mining activities were given a boost with the completion of the Utah South­ ern Railroad to Milford in 1880. The birth­ place of both famous western outlaw Butch Cassidy and inventor of television Philo T. Farnsworth, Beaver County is rich in history, historic buildings, and mineral treasures.

From the beginning of moving pictures, filmmakers have manipulated images frame-by- frame to create the impression of movement where none had originally existed. This course will study the different ways that filmmakers have made things move, in the context of their aesthetic and industrial histories. We will pay particular attention to the construction of the movements of animated figures and to the construction of animated spaces. Objectives of the Course This course will focus on developing two major skills. First, observing and analyzing formal elements specific to animated films (such as the timing of movements); and second, reading high-level historical and theoretical film scholarship. Textbooks and Readings All readings will be posted on D2L. Internet and electronic communication device information Laptops may be used only for taking notes and consulting the readings for discussion; they may not be out during screenings. (You will be given time to take notes on each short.) Handheld devices (cell phones, etc.) may not be used at any time.

  • History of Leonard's Mill Pond the Original Mill Construction Date Of
    History of Leonard's Mill Pond The original mill construction date of Leonard's Mill and millpond is unknown. The owner of the mill at the time of the Revolutionary War was George Parker, Sr. He received by original patent "a tract of land called 'Parker's Security' in 1770". Whether Mr. Parker built the homestead, barn, saw and grist mills, and pond after obtaining the patent is unknown, but we do know that during the American Revolution in 1777 his land was called Parker's Mill. On February 6, 1777 the Council of Safety of the Maryland Congress received word from Samuel Chase of Tory (Loyalist) build-up on the Eastern Shore at Parker's Mill. He wrote, " ... the Tories in Sussex, Somerset and Worcester Counties have been assembling for some days. They have 250 men collected at Parker's Mill, about nine miles from the Roebuck with some men, with intention to seise (sic) the Magazine and destroy the property of the Whigs." Three regiments were sent to quell the insurrection. When General Smallwood, later governor of Maryland, finally arrived from Wilmington with his regiment on February 19th, it is reported in the Archives of Maryland that he "found people generally quiet and peaceable". An additional report states, "upon arrival here General Smallwood found the community had recruited a military body, and though inadequately armed; had with daring and courage captured a large ·number of Tories without bloodshed". Even though the insurrection was pinpointed at Parker's Mill, and George Parker probably allowed the Tories to assemble at his place, there is no record with which side he sympathized.
