Description: Émile Cohl created Fantasmagorie in 1908. To make this film, Cohl placed each drawing on an illuminated glass plate and then traced the next drawing-with variations-on top of it until he had some 700 drawings. In 1908, chalkboard caricaturists were common vaudeville attractions and the characters in the film look as though they've been drawn on a chalkboard, but it's an illusion. By filming black lines on paper and then printing in negative Cohl makes his animations appear to be chalk drawings. |

| yudany ::: Favorites 2006-12-01 17:52:30 Thanks for posting this. I am just starting to get interested in early animation, so i had never seen this. I see some influences of this on Winsor McCay (i am guessing here, judging by dates). __________________________________________________ | |

| TheIggiot ::: Favorites 2007-01-04 23:29:08 I once made a research about the history of animation and I read about Fantasmagorie -and its role in it- but I never thought I would actually watch it. Thank you very much. __________________________________________________ | |

| RayPointer ::: Favorites 2007-02-25 00:08:13 The comment that this was done on chalk is incorrect. First of all, it is impossible to animate with this much accuracy in chalk. Cohl animated on paper and the white line effect was the result of using a "negative reverse" changing the black line on paper to white on black. __________________________________________________ | |
