The history of film (Before the 1800's) Puppet Shows
One of the most unexpected origins to film is puppetry. This is because it's one of the earliest references of film
recorded in our world's history. Puppetry is considered an art form and has been around for about 30,000 years.
There is even evidence that puppetry was used during the time of the ancient Egyptians; wire controlled, clay models of
people and animals have been discovered in tombs and hieroglyphic translations described "wire statues" being used
during religious festivals.
Back in history, puppetry was performed in front of audiences of hundreds of people; it used to be one of the
most popular forms of entertainment. Puppetry was performed with a light source so the actual puppet itself casted a
shadow onto a large viewing screen made out of thin, white fabric that acted as a backdrop. To the audience it would
seem as if there was a moving figure on the screen, kind of like a movie.
Puppet shows in Europe (around the 1800's) and the early United States, were avoided by the upper social
class because it was thought to be a "dirty" act, fit only for the peasants. It may not seem like it, but puppetry does
play a major role in history. Puppets have been used in some of Shakespeare's plays, actually taking the place of
actors.
