Stirling castle blog.

Researched about Stirling castle gathered information on Wikipedia, the history on the castle, and the castle that it is today which is a historic place in history.

It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding what was, until the 1930s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth, has made it an important fortification from the earliest times.

Philippe Demard, born in 1959 in Cherbourg, Normandy is a French video-artist and designer

Robert Wilson (born 4 October 1941) is an American avant-garde stage director and playwright who has been called "[America]'s — or even the world's — foremost vanguard 'theater artist'".
In 1968, Wilson founded an experimental performance company, the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds (named for a dancer who helped him overcome a speech impediment while a teenager). With this company, he created his first major works, beginning with 1969's The King of Spain and The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud. He began to work in opera in the early 1970s, creating Einstein on the Beach with Philip Glass, which brought the two artists worldwide fame.

Mark Maxwell is a British artist and designer. He works in various media including painting, video and installation

Maxwell was born in Withington, Manchester in 1966 and he studied art and design at Salford College and later Suffolk College. In 1987 he was an assistant to artist/musician Brian Eno on live events involving the creation of set and lighting elements to live concert performances.

In 2003 Maxwell created the video contents and the set design for pop group Feeder, the tour - 'Comfort in Sound'. Later in 2003 Mark was asked to design 'experiences' for Madame Tussauds. Set design, concepts, video creation and lighting were created for several projects including the 'Hulk Experience' and in 2004 the 'Spider-Man Experience'.

history of Animation

The first animation was created by Charles Emile Reynaud, inventor of the Praxinscope, people who draw these are called cartoonist which they drew faces on chalkboard and apparently come to life. some people say or information tells us.
from 1892 to modern times has changed from old machinery to new machinery such as computers which IL tell you more in a while,

Technology has improved alot since the 19th century maybe the 18th Im not quite sure but it certainly improved, also techniques on how cartoonist do this,
1930s it became more detailed, by then animation had moved abroad to America, Spain France, China and Italy and some other countries as well.

Walt Disney who started the animation in America had famous animation projects such as snow white and the seven dwarfs and beauty and the beast, and i think one of the British ones is the film called Watership Down which is one of my favorites, including some of Walt Disney stuff that he did.

1950s to modern times everything changed the animation style moved on a bit technology on computers, software how we do animation changed, we use software to do the animation and also take snapshots of the things we want to animate.

In the future computers will be the way we do animation.
