This week we watched animations from Winsor McCay as well as a former Quinnipiac student Dmitry Guzner. The McCay animations were some of the very first animations ever created, from the years of 1912 and 1914, almost 100 years ago. The first animation I watched by McCay was "How a Mosquito Operates" and was made in 1912. It is easy to tell that this is a very old animation, because the animations are looped in various places. For example, when the man goes to open the door to his residence, he constantly sways back and forth, and someone can tell that it is a looped animation. This is constant throughout both this animation and the other animation by McCay "Gertie the Dinosaur," which was made in 1914.
The animations by Dmitry Guzner were much more modernized, since both of them were created in the year 2009. It is amazing to see how much an experienced animator can do with the proper knowledge of motion graphics. The first animation by Guzner, titled "Because" was very enjoyable. The music that was used in both of his projects worked well with the animations themselves and they looked simple yet complex at the same time.
