Understanding The Techniques And Development Of Stop Motion Animation Past and Present

I will continue my research by researching William Horner who is the creator of the Zoetrope which was invented in 1834.
The Zoetrope was orignally called the Daedlum which means "The Wheel Of The Devil".
The Zoetrope was based on Plateau's phenakistoscope, but was more convenient since it did not require a viewing mirror and allowed more than one person to use it at the same time.
The Zoetrope was for nearly thirty years until 1867. It was then later renamed the 'Zoetrope' or 'The Wheel of Life'
