Erikson Wang – W3

Emile Cohl’s “Fantasmagorie” and Winsor McCay’s “Gertie the Dinosaur” are one of the few earliest films that was being made, one being in 1908 and other one being in 1914. over the 6 years we can tell that animation had improve immensely, going from a hand drawn to having the use of technology. In Emile Cohl’s work we can see that the first cartoon that was ever being made was being shown through drawing of stick figures. on the other hand, Winsor McCay’s film prove to us that animation can feel realistic and true to our eyes. if Emile is who created cartoon, then Winsor is the one that bring it to life.
