J.Stuart Blackton Funny faces 1906

Here is another animation by J.Stuart Blackton created six years after the enchanted drawing.
I feel in this animation he is making it very clear to the audience on how the animation is created rather then portraying it as some kind of magic trick. This is shown in the example below especially when he shows himself rub out half the animation then animates the other half. There is also the part of the animation which is shown in revers which will also educate the viewer on how the animation may have been created. As a very novice animator myself i would have guessed that the clown animation scene would have been done using cut outs due to the rigidness of its movements if Mr Blackton did not show himself physically rubbing out the limbs and hoop.
