The praxinoscope is an animation device that uses strips of pictures placed around a spinning cylinder to create the animation. It was invented in France in 1877. Simply by spinning the wheel you could see the animation come to life. This was one of the first forms of creating animation and many designers still use them today.

Since the progression technology more and more books are becoming available in a digital context. Apps such as Wattpad allow users to upload their own stories as well as reading those posted by other users, a concept witch encourages creative writing. Issuu is another example of this allowing users to publish documents as well as controlling who can see it and being able to see information about the locations of their viewers. Audio books are available on many platforms and are available almost anywhere online, including amazon.com and audible.com. They encourage a different kind of interaction with books, with listeners becoming fully immersed in the experience. I think that the use of audio books is amazing. It allows people that may not necessarily have access to physical books or people that are not the most confident at reading to be able to enjoy literature. This type of book is also used in some schools to aid learning of students with learning difficulties. This works by allowing the students to listen to the book whilst following along with the physical book, therefore allowing connections to be made to the look and spelling of the word and its sound. The progression of books from a physical into a digital form was inevitable. In my opinion both forms offer a different experience. Digital books are more suited to people on the go that may not necessarily be able to carry a book with them, and they can enhance learning for those that struggle to read. On the other hand you cannot physically turn the pages (even though it is mimicked) and the pages can't easily be bookmarked. So although this transition from physical to digital was needed, i think it is good that both can coexist together and compliment each other.
There are loads of examples of how paper cups are used to create animations. Simply buy cuttings out sections of each cup and drawing on them short stories begin to form. The below example is based on a comic called One Punch Man. I really like these types of animations because not only do they tell a story but they are simple to make and can be as detailed as you want them to be. The narrative is completely down to the person interacting with the cup and how they chose to twist each cup, therefore the narrative can differ from person to person, making the experience unique. |
