Week 4- Winsor McCoy Little Nemo

I thought this video clip was very interesting because it was two stories in one. There is the story of the animator who is drawing all these images to create an animated film, and the story of his animations. The wheel device that he used to make his drawings animated was interesting. It was so simply but it seemed to work really well. I was surprised that towards the end of the film the drawings were in color. These drawings were simple in the fact that there was no background detail or colors. Although the drawing consisted of only characters, the amount of action that these characters did in the drawings was impressive. The characters get bigger and smaller, and it some of the characters actually draw other characters! A dragon moves across the pages and turns into a thrown for a king and queen and two clowns driving a car blow up. I can't believe the detail and intercity for  cartoons that were created over one hundred years ago.
