The Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics 2014, there was a rich spectacle in spades; but nothing quite startled the Internet such as the reveal of the three massive animatronic Sochi mascots. The hare and the leopard were for the most part spared the wrath of the masses, but the polar bear looked to catch everybody's eye and not in a good way. The first thing social media noticed were Polar Bear's sleepy eyes. The Sochi Olympics will include “The Snowflake” and “The Ray of Light.”
The ray of light gets “Frozen” by Disney, the Snow Leopard DreamWorks Animation, and Stoopid Buddy fabricates a puppet, and etc.

Rakesh Roshan s much anticipated Krrish 3 will have the the best visual effects Bollywood has seen to date, it is being said. However, audiences may well be disappointed to learn that the film will not be coming with 3D magic.
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
