I'm doing a school project on the history of the television and i was wondering if anyone could give me any info like when it was first invented, when colour,3d and hd came in, how many channels it had at first, what they were made out of, when remote controls were invented and stuff like that? it's monday and my project is due wednesday so please help. thanks


Answer
I have to warn you, this is a very small paste from a huge article in Wikipedia.

I went to Google and wrote : advent of television invention and found many article and just selected a small section from Wikipedia.

paste:
The beginnings of mechanical television can be traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the invention of a scanning disk by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884 and John Logie Baird's demonstration of televised moving images in 1926.

As a 23-year-old German university student, Paul Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromechanical television system in 1884. Although he never built a working model of the system, variations of Nipkow's spinning-disk "image rasterizer" for television became exceedingly common, and remained in use until 1939. Constantin Perskyi had coined the word television in a paper read to the International Electricity Congress at the International World Fair in Paris on August 25, 1900. Perskyi's paper reviewed the existing electromechanical technologies, mentioning the work of Nipkow and others.

However, it was not until 1907 that developments in amplification tube technology, by Lee DeForest and Arthur Korn among others, made the design practical. The first demonstration of the instantaneous transmission of still silhouette images was by Georges Rignoux and A. Fournier in Paris in 1909, using a rotating mirror-drum as the scanner and a matrix of 64 selenium cells as the receiver.

In 1911, Boris Rosing and his student Vladimir Zworykin created a television system that used a mechanical mirror-drum scanner to transmit, in Zworykin's words, "very crude images" over wires to the "Braun tube" (cathode ray tube or "CRT") in the receiver. Moving images were not possible because, in the scanner, "the sensitivity was not enough and the selenium cell was very laggy".
On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion, at Selfridge's Department Store in London. AT&T's Bell Telephone Laboratories transmitted halftone still images of transparencies in May 1925. On June 13 of that year, Charles Francis Jenkins transmitted the silhouette image of a toy windmill in motion, over a distance of five miles from a naval radio station in Maryland to his laboratory in Washington, using a lensed disk scanner with a 48-line resolution.

However, if television is defined as the live transmission of moving images with continuous tonal variation, Baird first achieved this privately on October 2, 1925. But strictly speaking, Baird had not yet achieved moving images on October 2. His scanner worked at only five images per second, below the threshold required to give the illusion of motion, usually defined as at least 12 images per second. By January, he had improved the scan rate to 12.5 images per second.

Then on January 26, 1926 at his laboratory in London, Baird gave what is widely recognized as being the world's first demonstration of a working television system to members of the Royal Institution and a newspaper reporter.

How do I animate 2D images that I've sketched out?




*Pirate*


I really want to do animated films at home, I can draw, have a scanner at my disposal and a computer. I know that I would need a software program to put all the frames together, I just don't know where to go to find one. Cost is not an issue, I just want the best and easiest to use software. Also, how would I go about adding sound/voices to the mix? I can find someone with recording equipment I can use. Any and all serious answers are very appreciated :)


Answer
If money is no problem then find a software program of your choosing...there's too many out there for me to plug. I "studied" with 3D Studio from AutoDesk wayyy back in 1993 and have since not kept up with the trade...read reviews of what's out there and perhaps do the "30 day trail" option if any have it.
Good luck!
