On the heels of the 2018 Annie Awards nominees that were announced, the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have unveiled their shortlist for
10 animated short films vying to be part of the Oscars 2018 consideration.
These 10 films will be whittled down into an eventual list of nominees. Some of
them stand out from the pack, either because they come from animation
powerhouses like Pixar’s Lou, or because they’ve captured hearts and
imaginations across social media already this year, like Negative Space and In a Heartbeat.
Here’s a look at the 10 shorts:

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.
