I visited the library and looked at a book called The World History of Animation by Stephen Cavalier. I mainly read about stop-motion around the world, such as Georges Méliès from France, Tim Burton from USA, Nick Park from UK and Ladislaw Starewicz from Russia, who all worked in this medium. Stop-motion is the technique that I am particularly interested in, however in the next few weeks I want to have a greater understanding of the other techniques including 2D drawn and 3D animation, as well as well-known artists that work in these mediums.
