Stop motion animation research

Persistence of vision:

Persistence of vision is where our eyes retain images for a second longer than they actually appear making a series of quick flashes appear as one continuous image. 



Zoetrope:

A 19th century optical illusion toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of images on the inner surface that when viewed through the slits it gives the impression of continuous motion.




Phenakistoscope:

This is a device consisting of a spinning disk and a mirror. The disk is slotted and has images on the mirror side, looking through the slots at the mirror can give the effect of moving pictures.



Kinetscope:

One of the first motion picture cameras where you could view the images through a peephole. It gave an impression of movement as an endless loop of film moved continuously over a light source with a rapid shutter.

Mutoscope: 

It is an early motion picture device which does not project on a screen and it's viewing is only accessible to one person at a time.
