In the south Indian state of Kerala, a young man who is physically challenged has created an India’s 65th Republic Day animated video. Anjan Satish of Eram Group has succeeded the applause of Siddeek Ahmed, CMD of the group, its senior executives and other staff members for his creative work.
Satish was born in September 1987 in Ernakulum and he is afflicted by bad hearing and speech impairments and speech problems. He works for Eram Animation Lab in Kochi as a pre- production junior artist. He has won the Rotary International Special Talent Award (2001) and Medal in Art at the National Abylimpics, Chennai (2005). He was the first artist to hold an exhibition in the Kerala High Court.
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.
