We talked about McCay during or tutorial session and andy told us about the fact he was pretty much the first person to produce such a moving picture in the way he did, i decided to watch both 'little nemo' and 'gertie the dinosaur' his 2 most famous pieces. i was amazed at how good the drawings were and how well they flowed, he must have been a very persistent and patient man, as the clips must have taken a long long time to do. The first was impressive as he did it as a bet saying he would draw 1,000 drawings that would move.
McCay basically laid the pathway for all other animation to happen and really was the starting point. i think what amazed me the most was the quality of the work from such a long time ago, around 1914 to be exact.
