Introduction to Animation - Week 03, February 16th

Max Fleischer - Out Of The Inkwell - Modeling (1921)

This is a very impressive and innovative combination of cartoon animation and live action! A wonderful early entry in Max Fleischer's "Out Of The Inkwell" series featuring Ko Ko the Clown is every bit as extraordinary today as it was when this film was first released in 1921!  Max Fleischer’s invention, the Rotoscope, which was a device consisting of a film projector and easel used as an aid for achieving realistic movement for animated cartoons, is expertly used by the author to convey his witty visual tale.
