In the late 19th/early 20th centuries, photography, film, and animation became an art form, many times combining traditional drawing and painting techniques with new technologies.
Early pioneers like Eadweard Muybridge, Georges Méliès, and Winsor McCay used technology to advance their art forms. Please select one video below to analyze:
Photography: The Horse in Motion (Eadweard Muybridge, 1878)

Film: A Trip to the Moon (Georges Méliès 1902)

Animation: Gertie the Dinosaur (Winsor McCay, 1914)

Once you make your selection, please do some research on your chosen artist, then answer the following questions:
Did the artist incorporate any “traditional” mediums, i.e., drawing/painting, into their work? If so, how were these techniques combined with technology? How do these early pioneers still influence photography/motion studies, film, and animation more than 100 years later?
Your response should be around three to four paragraphs and prepared in Microsoft Word, double-spaced and uploaded. Please cite your research sources.
