Historical and Contemporary Animation 7 - Humorous Phases of Funny Faces
Humorous Phases of Funny Faces is an animated short made in 1906 and is largely considered to be the first form of animation that used traditional practices. It consists of hand drawn scenes on a chalkboard, in which humorous things occur of varying types. While most of this animation is drawn directly on a chalkboard, some of the scenes use cutouts of characters, like a clown with cutout limbs. It also uses a form of stop motion as well. It's hard to imagine the reactions of the first people who watched this, since i've experienced all kinds of animation in my lifetime, but I assume it was received well. I wonder if the creator of this knew the legacy he would create for himself.
