As part of Unit X there are offers to visit archives to a
range of places, I visited the Science and Industry museum.
We looked at the archives where they stored items from
previous exhibits and were given information about future visits how we can use
these archives for research.
There was table laid out for the group specifically for animation
which I found really interesting. There were pieces of old time animation before
moving images where they used candle light to project images and used sliders
to bring the images to life. Other pieces included following the career of one
stop motion animator including his undergraduate films and his involvement in professional
productions.
There also armatures from “The Nightmare before Christmas”
and “James and the Giant Peach” which were extremely detailed and looked amazing.
The archives also contain other information about the animation within the
Manchester area which was mainly stop motion puppets from Cosgrove Hall.
I will definitely consider the Manchester Science and Industry
Museum as a future source of research.
