Flip book: History of Multimedia




The first part represent the born of multimedia, when began to pass knowledge to their young by oral tradition. The hands of the man represent polytheism, since it was the main form of religion in the west.We can see a hand with five fingers and the other one with a kind of matter. This symbolize the polytheism idea of the world as a creation of deities by giving shape to something already existed.
The man created a doll within its shape. After that doll, it began to appear more dolls and then a man counting them. This is because the first evidence of writing system were form to take in account inventory. After we got the writing system, it was easier to spread knowledge. That is the reason why every doll transform into a man, and continue spread knowledge.
We can see a man with a Greek theater mask, symbolizing the importance of Greek contributions in the development of multimedia as way to educate the elites.
Roman Circus, the Roman realized that a way to control the masses was by giving free entertainment. In the Coliseum we can appreciate the use of control of the stage. The Coliseum could host gladiators fights, beast eating Christians, and naval battles.
The curtains symbolize the arrival of Opera. I portrayed a brief stages of Opera with L'Orfeo as the first popular opera, then the curtains close and reopen portraying a bright man symbolizing the focus of Opera to kiss monarch's asses and finally with Le Mirrage de Figaro  symbolizing the focus of Opera in the common people.
When the curtains disappear and the lights are began to shine is the moment of Broadway.  The stage is portrayed with balerinas, and the lights disappear to announce the beginning of the big screen. The big screen began to shrink to a t.v. and then the use of t.v. for video games.
In the end, I was trying to close the flip book with draws of a flip book flipping.
PD: This is just a friendly reminder that to Mr. Echevery that I got extra credit.
