What should you do with rubbish?

    I happened to see this 6-year-old girl in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She wasn’t playing with the toy. She was making it with ice-cream sticks. The toy was still simple, but it was a success for such a little girl. She still wanted to make more and more toys. While I was taking some photos of the toys, she was smiling nicely. What a clever girl!

    I went to a café in Thân Văn Nhiếp Street, District 2 on a beautiful Sunday morning. The café was full when I got there. Some people were making decorations from old tyres and bottles. They were talking but they were working very hard too. Although their business was different, it was meaningful to the environment. Their start-up seemed to be a success story.

What were the people doing while they were making decorations?   

What does the photographer think about their business?

The History of Animation

    In the 1880s, Eadweard Muybridge invented the zoopraxiscope. This machine took photographs of moving things. This was the earliest form of animation.

    In the 1895, the Lumière brothers invented the cinematograph. Early film-makers used it to make stop-motion animation. With this technique, they made Kingkong in 1933.

    In the 1920s, Walt Disney began to use ‘hand-drawn animation’. Artists drew the pictures onto transparent pieces of plastic, or cels. The film makers put the cels on painted backgrounds and photographed them one at a time. In 1928, Disney studios introduced the character of Mickey Mouse in the first cartoon with sound, Steamboat Willie.

    In the 1960s, people started using computer animation. At first, computers could only make simple stick figures move on films, but by the 1990s, studios used realistic computer-generated imagery (CGI) for special effects. Soon, they were producing completely computer-animated films; Toy Story (1995) was the first fully CGI cartoon.

When was King Kong made?    

What was the first cartoon with sound?    

When did people start using computers?
