1879 in animation

none Events in 1879 in animation. Events Specific date unknown: In 1879, Charles-Émile Reynaud registered a modification to the praxinoscope patent to include the Praxinoscope Théâtre, which utilized the Pepper's ghost effect to present the animated figures in an exchangeable background. Later improvements included the "Praxinoscope à projection" (marketed since 1882) which used a double magic lantern to project the animated figures over a still projection of a background.http://emilereynaud.fr/index.php/post/Le-Praxinoscope-a-projection Le Praxinoscope à projection emilereynaud.fr fr 2019-07-25 In 1879, Eadweard Muybridge created the zoöpraxiscope (animal action viewer), a projection device that created cyclical animations of animal movement, incorporating technologies from photography, the magic lantern and the zoetrope. The photographer created painted sequences on the glass zoöpraxiscope discs that were based on his motion-study photographs to produce an early form of animation. Muybridge used these to illustrate his lectures that were presented to audiences in the United States and Europe, marking his contribution to photography and film in relation to the "experience of time within modernity."Eadweard Muybridge: Defining Modernities https://www.eadweardmuybridge.co.uk/muybridge_image_and_context/zoopraxography/ Arts and Humanities Research Council, Kingston University, London 26 February 2022Motion Pictures: The Zoopraxiscope https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/eadweard-muybridge/exhibition-guide/zoopraxiscope Tate Museum 26 February 2022 An 1879 edition of the Sallie Gardner cabinet card has the images altered to create more distinct outlines (with straight lines and clear numbers replacing the original photographic background) "with care to preserve their original positions".
