Blackton Animation Style


Blackton Animation Style

Blackton made a film in 1906 called “Humorous phases of funny faces”, the first animation on film. He was the first to experiment with the idea instead of just photography, that’s why there is also just bit of normal film in it with the animation or doing it on film would have been pointless.

After watching the Blackton film we made our own, filming then stopping, then moving the image. It can become boring and slow but the end result is amazing. Things moving that wouldn’t usually move come to life.

Making this style you must be careful, the camera has to be very still depending on your scene. One screw up, one thing out of place and you can destroy a good piece of work. Patience is a key factor in this, as I said already it can become very boring.

Here is 3 images from the film “Humorous phases of funny faces”:
