The Enchanted Drawing - Blackton
The Enchanted Drawing - Blackton 1900 Early example of lighting sketches and stop-action substitution.... "The technical basis of the trick is the stop-action substitution effect. During shooting, the camera was stopped while an assistant tore away the top sheet of paper to reveal the next drawing underneath...Drawn objects (a bottle of wine, a cigar) disappeared from the sheet and were replaced by real objects held in the same position. Then the camera was restarted and an instantaneous transformation would be produced during projection." (Solomon, 1987) Solomon, C. (1987) The art of the animated image : an anthology .
