Early Animation Tools Overview

This document discusses early animation tools that helped develop motion pictures, including the zoetrope, thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, and magic lantern. The zoetrope used sequential drawings to create the illusion of motion. The thaumatrope combined two pictures on a card attached by strings to appear as one image when spun. The phenakistoscope used a spinning disk with sequential images to animate pictures using persistence of vision. The praxinoscope contained mirrors and frames inside a cylinder to view animations when spun. The magic lantern was an early projector developed in the 17th century.
