Events

  • June 4:Charles-Émile Reynaud presented a praxinoscope projection device at the Société française de photographie. He did not attempt to market his praxinoscope a projection before 1882. Only a handful of examples are known to still exist.[1]
  • Specific date unknown:
    • In 1880, Plastilin (or Plasteline) was patented in Germany by Franz Kolb. It was further developed by Claude Chavant in 1892 and trademarked in 1927.[2] It is a form of modelling clay for use in building and sculpting.[3] It is a precursor of plasticine, which would become the favourite product for clay animators, as it did not dry and harden (unlike normal clay) and was much more malleable than its harder and greasier Italian predecessor plasteline.[4]
    • The Zoopraxiscope of Eadweard Muybridge was introduced in 1880 at the California School of Fine Arts.[5] Muybridge did project moving images from his photographs with his Zoopraxiscope, from 1880 to 1895, but these were painted on discs and his technique was no more advanced than similar earlier demonstrations (for instance those by Franz von Uchatius in 1853).[6] The first discs were painted on the glass in dark contours. Discs made between 1892 and 1894 had outlines drawn by Erwin Faber photographically printed on the disc and then colored by hand, but these discs were probably never used in Muybridge's lectures.[7]
