Animation History 1: Ancient Storytelling

The Basics of animation are seen right to the very beginning of human evolution, starting with sequentially drawn images across cave paintings in order to tell stories of hunts etc. Sequentially displayed images in order to tell a story is not a modern concept.

This is an animation developed by students from Gobelins School of the image 2002 which i think shows how early back animations go. It is likely cavemen didn't run through caves blinking in order to get his own animated porn, but it explains the way these images could have been looked at in order to create prehistoric animations.
