Early Animation
Selections from the archives
A&D professor Heidi Kumao researches time-based work for her two courses: "Tools, Materials, Processes: Time" and "Animation for Broadcast."
Winsor McKay, comic artist turned animator, 1911
Nice construction of "how it was made." The transformation of his comic "Little Nemo in Slumberland" (a gorgeously illustrated dreamworld) into an animation is dramatized here. It's a fun one to watch. Why don't we dress in suits to draw and animate?

Great stuff Heidi! Some of Chris Ware's tiny drawings seem like they may been influenced by Cohl's chalk animation. McCay's always my favorite - did you know he received his only formal art training in Ypsilanti, MI (at what would eventually become EMU)?
