I forgot to put this in my blog but I must now otherwise I will fail this course.

We created a podcast in garageband basically telling people where we were born and areas and schools we went to throughout our childhood to the present day, firstly we had to find pictures of the areas we lived and places we educated at on the internet then we save the pictures in iphoto and added in a piece of music that would serve as background music for the podcast while we talked the best place I found for music was beemp3 where you basically typed the title of the music you want to download and it would either be there or it wouldn't.

Then we opened garageband and inserted the music and the pictures for the pictures in iphoto would link with garageband and there would be a tab in garageband with iphoto on it so photos were easily accessible then with a microphone we added the voice track ten saved the whole thing and exported it as a quicktime movie and added it also to itunes and the pictures popped up in sync with the voice track.

Animation to the present day

I feel that animation has changed very quickly throughout up to the 21st century, the first thing we had before they invented the phenakistoscope in 1893 where you spun a disc and saw the images move on the inside, was shadow puppetry where a cut out image against light would amuse people.

When we had the technology and the first Television appeared everything appeared in black and white and so animation grew even more.

Walt Disney started making moving animations for the kids and so Mickey Mouse and friends were born and started it's first animation 'Plane Crazy' where Mickey Mouse starred in his first cartoon with his partner Minnie Mouse on May 15th 1928 but in those days they were silent films because we didn't have the technology to have sound effects and computer made music so piano music in the background was used in that time.

Finally in 1935 they had the technology to have sound in the cartoons so the year of silent films and animation died, Disney's first sound animation was 'Steamboat Willie'.

The techniques used in animations changed dramatically on December 17th 1953 when the first working color television was invented so now animations were seen in full color and full sound. Disney's first color animation was 'Snow White' which became Disney's first movie.

Then in 1973 Computer Generated Imagery was born bringing us animations and high detailed characters built from inside a computer and gave us films such as 'Toy Story' & 'Avatar'.

I feel CGI animation still has a long way to go until we know it so well that we can't tell if a CGI human is a real person or not.
