Bored by the board

Humours Phases of Funny Faces (1906)

Directed and animated by J. Stuart Blackton this is a short animated film. Various short scenes are shown drawn in chalk on a blackboard.

There is not a huge amount to this film in terms of content but it is well known as it is considered to be a historical milestone. Using stop motion animation of chalk figures is created with occasional real time interaction by the animator. For a short distraction this is not too bad but it is not much more than that.


3/5
