Flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 1800s, while a Chinese zoetrope-type device was invented already in 180 AD. These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.
There is no single person who can be considered the "creator" of the art of film animation, as there were several people doing several projects which could be considered various types of animation all around the same time.
Georges Méliès was a creator of special-effect films; he was generally one of the first people to use animation with his technique. He discovered a technique by accident which was to stop the camera rolling to change something in the scene, and then continue rolling the film. This idea was later known as stop-motion animation. Méliès discovered this technique accidentally when his camera broke down while shooting a bus driving by. When he had fixed the camera, a hearse happened to be passing by just as Méliès restarted rolling the film, his end result was that he had managed to make a bus transform into a hearse. This was just one of the great contributors to animation in the early years.
Romain Segaud was born in 1980. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree, he attended the famous Supinfocom school in Valenciennes in northern France . After four years, he codirected his first film, Tim Tom, with Christel Pougeoise. His inspiration for the film came from Georges Méliès, Svankmayer, Norman McLaren, and many others. Currently, Romain works with the French design company, Cube Creative.
