PEUGOT PAPERWORK

Peugot Paper work is the latest creation by the delicate hands of Kyle Bean. The 30 second animation is a perfect example of his ability to craft almost anything with paper and card. Perfectly animated to follow the narrative of the advert, the animation leaves you wanting to watch it again. And its not until you've seen it a few times that you really begin to appreciate the level of effort that it must have taken to make each minature model to create the canvas for this fluid stop-motion animation.

RESEARCH: ORIGINS OF ANIMATION

Traditional animation dates back to 180AD, with the first zoetrope invented by the Chinese Ting Huan. Devices such as the Thaumatrope and the Phenakistoscope were early techniques to create simple moving image animations.


The first hand-drawn animation is said to be Humourous Stages of Funny Faces (1906) by J. Stuart Blackton. The first use of stop-motion animation is credited to Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton together, their short video titled The Humpty Dumpty Circus shows figures doing various acrobatics. Although I would consider the Humourous Stages of Funny Faces a stop-frame animation in itself.
