The Flip Book , was very popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a flip book is a collection of combined pictures which then are flipped over to create the illusion of movement allowing it to create an animated sequence from simple small book without machinery. Until today we see the use of the flip book and we value it, as it is time consuming to create nowadays, as we have machinery to help us with the creation of animation.
Invented in 1877, the Moviela/Praxinoscope, being the successor of the Zoetrope , has the same concept as the Zoetrope, however it is a more refined and efficient product. Expanding on the zoetrope, the praxinoscope uses multiple wheels to rotate images, and it is considered to show the first prototypes of a animated cartoon. It was later used, in 1892, by Emil Reynaud in a theatre which he opened.
In 1887, H.W. Goodwin invented method for making transparent, flexible roll film out of nitrocellulose film base. This invention was made of gum cotton and gum camphor. Also, in 1893, this was used in Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope, which allowed him to produce moving film pictures on the wall. The film was set to a sequence that moved over a series of wheels to produce pictures.
In 1899, sound was captured by the use of a magnetic recording device, which allowed animation enthusiasts to take a which step into the world of animation, using technology.
