The film shows the sequence of movements, which consisted of over 30,000 images and about 25 motion sequences, was generated by the computer and programmed to bring the bird to live. 2.1.2 Kitty (1968) N.Konstantinov lead a group of Russian scientists to create a model of a moving cat.

It helps computerizing between the ink, the paint and post-production processes of traditional animated films, which allow efficient and significant post-production by producing the hand-painting cels obsolete. Drawings and background paintings from the animators' are first scanned into the computer, and then inked and painted by digital artists. After that, they are combined, and finally used software for camera movements, multiplane effects, and other techniques—including the combination with 3D image material. The Little Mermaid (1989) is the system's first feature film use and the first full-scale use was for The Rescuers Down Under
But it seemed that someone also liked the idea. Charles Annan saw it as an excellent idea so he made his own prototype and

Individual production animators like Warner Brothers, Walt Disney, Looney
Philo Farnsworth, the creator, had ideas about how to create the first television since he was 14-years-old. His goal for the television system was to have a system that could show 400 lines per frame (Landen, 2009). This first television camera tube was named the “Image Dissector”, “which would dissect an image line-by-line with a pulsating electrical charge and then transmit these elements”. The receiver for the television was built by using a chemistry flask, which Phil called the “Image Oscillite”. In order to rid the blurry picture, the “sawtooth” waveform was created.
Mrs.Vieira U.S History P.2 February 17, 2016 Star Wars: the Film that Changed Cinema In the beginning the Star Wars universe just an idea inside the mind of George Lucas.

Things like flip phones, I-pads, and even NASA spaceships have all been inspired by Star Trek. Star Trek (1969) uses phones that flip open, letting the cast talk to each other. Martin Cooper, the creator of the mobile phone, credits Star Trek for his inspiration. Similarly, Karlheinz Brandenburg, the creator of the MP3, attributes the idea of a digital music file to Data playing music on his computer. (rar).
One such creator is Hideo Koijima, a Japanese video game director who worked at Konami mostly known for Contra, Castle Vania, and the series that Koijima made Metal Gear Solid. He influenced me by being a good example of going against the mold and making what would become an international success. One of his first projects is what would lead to the original series of metal gear. When it was a standard to make a 2-D side scrolling action shooter he had to work with the NES and the Famicons limitations at the time and made an overhead stealth game. It would not be till the PlayStation that Metal Gear Solid would reach critical acclaim and would cross over with household names like Mario and
Sun Microsystems (SUNW) founders Bill Joy and Scott McNealy in 1954. All of these Silicon Valley pioneers succeeded not just on their extraordinary talent but also because they had the right opportunities at exactly the right time.¨(Outliers-Malcolm
The television was a huge impact for our society because it helped make communication easier and faster. The first ever report of the television was in Germany by a student named Paul Nipkow. After that, the American inventor Charles Jenkins modified the disk Nipkow used to make the first mechanical television system. The electronic version was invented by Philo Taylor Farnsworth (Bellis, Mary). The next important historical reference in “We didn 't start the fire” is the war between South and North Korea, beginning on June 25, 1950.
The first computerized nonlinear editing system was called the CMX 600, it had a console with 2 monitors built in it (Film History). The right monitor played a preview video and was used to make cuts and edits by using a light pen to select the options (Film history). The left monitor on the other hand was used to display the edited video, It recorded and played in black and white video and the audio was recorded using digital analog signals (film history). Between 1988-1991 the world’s first nonlinear film editing software was introduced. Moving into the 2000s, ordinary computers gained access to edit digital videos at higher resolutions.

Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.

This includes automated computerized versions of traditional animation techniques, for 3 dimensional is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. The animator usually starts by creating a 3D polygon mesh to manipulate.
The film industry utilizes this technology in ways such as special effects, animations and the creation of characters. The beginnings of the increasing use of computers to create images in Hollywood can be traced back to the 1970s, such as special effects in 1973’s Westworld, a film of the sci fi genre, in which a two minute long sequence used the pixelization process, a computer generated effect still used to this date. It has been theorized that this movie, despite its low budget, offset the start of the CGI “revolution. ”(http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how-michael-crichtons-westworld-pioneered-modern-special-effects) A major turning point in cinema CGI was in the 1982 sci fi Disney movie, Tron.
The first process in the animation pipeline, and also one of the most important, is pre-production. It begins with the main concepts which are initially turned into a full story, and then, once the story has been finalised, other things such as the script, shot sequence and camera angles are worked on. This includes Research, Idea Creation, Scriptwriting, Story Boarding, Layouts, Model Sheets, etc. Much like the current IDM Project
Sitting in comfy pajamas with a cup of coffee in hand, the smell of bacon wafting through the family room, the kids sitting on the couch laughing at Saturday morning cartoons. It is a picturesque start to a relaxing weekend. The only problem is you don’t want to admit to enjoying Gravity Falls on Cartoon Network. Animation has been mainly targeted towards children for decades. However, a shift in the content and audience of children’s media is in progress today.
