1886 in animation

none Events in 1886 in animation. Events Specific date unknown: Henri Rivière created a form of shadow theatre at the Chat Noir under the name "ombres chinoises". This was a notable success, lasting for a decade until the cafe closed in 1897. He used back-lit zinc cut-out figures which appeared as silhouettes. Rivière was soon joined by Caran d'Ache and other artists, initially performing d'Ache's drama L’Epopee. From 1886 to 1896, Rivière created 43 shadow plays on a great variety of subjects from myth, history and the Bible. He collaborated with many different artists and writers, but made the illustrations for only 9 of the productions himself. He concentrated on improving the technical aspects of the production by using enamelling and lighting to create extremely delicate effects of light and colour.Catalogue, Henri Rivière: The Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower (1888-1902), Watermarks Gallery, Pittsboro, NC, 1995. The Ombres evolved into numerous theatrical productions and had a major influence on phantasmagoria.Phillip Dennis Cate and Mary Shaw (eds), The Spirit of Montmartre: Cabarets, Humor and the Avant-Garde, 1875-1905, Rutgers University Press, 1996, pp.55-58 excerpted on line as Henri Riviere: Le Chat noir and 'Shadow Theatre'medic. The technique is considered a precursor to silhouette animation.The Silhouette Film Jouvanceau Pierre trans.

Different versions were shown at many international exhibitions, fairs, conventions and arcades from 1887 until at least 1894.Rossell Deac The Anschuetz Zoetropes https://www.academia.edu/1078596 enhttp://www.ottomar-anschuetz.de/kino_2__schritt.htm Ottomar Anschütz, Elektrischer Schnellseher, Kino, Vorführgerät, Reihenaufnahmen, lebende Bilder, lebende Photographien, Geißlerische Röhre www.ottomar-anschuetz.de 2020-04-19 Births February February 8: Charlie Ruggles, American actor (voice of Benjamin Franklin in Ben and Me, Aesop in the Aesop and Son segments in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends), (d. 1970).Archives: Story http://www.filmsofthegoldenage.com/aricles/2008/04/29/current_issue/rugglescharles.txt Filmsofthegoldenage.com 29 April 2008 December 28, 2015Eugene Register-Guard - Google News Archive Search https://news.google.com/newspapersnid=1310&dat=19701223&id=7KxVAAAAIBAJ&pg=5220,5206052&hl=en December 28, 2015 March March 2: Willis H.
