3. Lumiere Brothers
• Lumiere brothers were the pioneers and French
investors to invest in photographic films. Auguste and
Louis were sons of the well-known painter Antonie
lumiere .
• In their business Louis started experimenting in
photographic process. In his later stage he invented
“Dry plates” process in 1881 at the age of 17. This dry
place was then known as “ Etiquette Bleue”. Invention
of this process gave greater boost to the business
leading to the investing into the factory and increasing
the production of dry plates.

5. Lumiere Brothers
• Edison had already invented Peephole Kinetoscope,
Later on Auguste started experimenting to overcome
limitations and problems raised in Edision’s project.
• In early 1895, Lumiere brothers invented new device
combining camera and printer called as
cinematographe patenting it on February 13th 1895.
Diffrence between Edison’s Peephole Kinetoscope and
lumiere brothers cinemeatographe was, Lumiere
brothers used film speed 16 frames per second awhile
Edison used 48 frames per second film speed.

6. Lumiere Brothers
• Brothers kept their
invention closely guarded
secret with opening new
theatres later called as
Cinema for screening of
their films.
• First film shot by Lumiere
brother was workers
getting out of their
factory.

9. Zeotrope

10. Zeotrope
1.Zeo trope came from the origin of persistence
of vision, Origin of this science come from
Newton, but it became firmly established by
Belgian scientist Joseph Plateau in 1829.
2.The first invention was “Thaumatrope”, where
a small disc was held by string and one side was
drawn with images.

11. Zeotrope
3.Willaim George horner
invent more convenient
technique in 1834.
4.William invented a shape
which he then called as drum,
Outside of the drum was
blank whereas Paper with
images was inserted in the
drum. Which then gave a rise
to moving pictures when seen
from outside.

15. Flipbook
a fashionable
kind of books in
19 th century
that allowed
animations or
optical illusions

16. Flipbook
• Flipbook is a collection of combined pictures
to get a illusion when flipped over.
• Flipbook is also called as Kinograph in French
and Flickbook or thumbcinema in britain.

17. Flipbook
• The flip book is a small notebook – originally
stapled ,that is holded in one hand while
flipped over the pages with the thumb of the
other hand, either from front to back or from

20. Kinetoscope

21. Kinetoscope
Kinestoscope is an early motion
picture exhibition device. It was
originally designed for viewing
photographs.
Early experiments were tried
using ideas developed from the
phonograph - a cylinder based
device onto which a series of
microphotographs would be
arranged in a spiral formation -
like the recorded tracks in the
tinfoil of a phonograph.

22. Kinetoscope
• Initial ideas for getting intermittent motion
included the use of electric sparks inside the
cylinder which provided intermittent
illumination; and a Start-Stop movement of
the cylinder itself.
• The initial prototype was actually a 'taking
device' - camera, but could be converted to a
projector by shining a light through the film
and lens.

23. Kinetoscope
• The Kinetoscope mechanism was
driven by an electric motor. The
peephole version which is
recognised as “The Kinetoscope”
was ready in prototype form at
the end of the Summer, 1892. It
comprised and upright wooden
cabinet, four foot high with a
peephole in the top. Magnifying
lenses in the peephole enlarged
the film - a continuous band
around fifty foot long which was
arranged around a series of
spools.

and are used with the help of stop motion
photography.

47. Clay animation
Each object is
sculptured from clay
and then usually
around a wire skeleton
called an armature and
then objects are
arranged on the set
and then shot with the
help of photographs.

• Freeform, Strata –cut animation and clay
animation are the types of claymation.
