-Optical Devices Site


       I really like how this site is first laid out when you get to the home page,
it reminds me kind of a vintage stetting. I really like it except maybe they could have
made the background some kind of floral patter or something because it just looks to plane.

Here's the link to a "Stereoscope"

-The way it works is it has to pictures one for the right sight or vision and one for the left,
each photo is slightly different so that when you look into the "Stereoscope" you see a 3D image.

-This is really interesting to me because it's amazing how people can come up with something so excelled but so simple at the same time. This creation is very old, I would love to see how one works in reality.

-The "Stereoscopes" also known as stereopticons or stereo viewers, were made in 1838 and popularized in 1881. It was Americas most popular forms of entertainment back then. The first one ever made was made by a a famous man by the name of, Sir Charles Wheatstone. Charles wasn't a popular guy to being with, so there was still no way he could get these things to be popular. Until one day Oliver Wendell Holmes (Charles partner in crime ;) came alone and made a later version that soon enough all of America knew about.



How-to Tutorials for stop motion animation.

This tutorial is on how to make "Claymation"
It introduces steps and props you can do/use to make your very own claymation project.
It also states that your camera and background should never change. (unless your building onto your back ground its self)
I watched this video and found it very helpful (really I did) and I might just make my own to show you Mrs.Silverman. :)

Gulp was a pretty cool Stop-Motion Animation to watch because the whole thing looked like it was made from clay, but it was really made of a beach from way up in the sky. It must have been a very complicated process because the set had to be changed up every picture that was taken.
            The making of GULP was really amazing to watch because it took them 5 days, day and night to make this 1:43 video, which would be pretty exhausting if you ask me. The producers didn't hire anyone, students just volunteered for the fun of making a stop motion. They also filmed it using nothing but peoples smart phones and three monitors to watch over the footage. This, was an amazing piece to watch.
            This is my Stop-Motion I chose from Youtube to post because I thought is was very creative how The creator "Jonny Lawrence" Drew all of this on a white board.
