The document discusses the history of motion pictures from their origins to modern cinema. It describes early pioneers like Eadweard Muybridge who captured motion through sequential photographs. Thomas Edison then developed motion picture cameras and projectors in the late 1800s. The Lumiere brothers introduced motion picture theaters in the 1890s showing real-life scenes. Over time, technological innovations like sound, color, and special effects continued advancing the art form. Major Hollywood studios like Paramount, Disney, and Warner Bros. emerged and dominated the industry under the classic studio system until the 1960s. Famous directors such as Walt Disney, Steven Spielberg, and others have significantly influenced cinema over the decades.

1872 - 18781872 - 1878
Hired by Leland Stanford to prove
whether during horse's gallop, all
4 hooves were off the ground at
the same time.
Findings:
Hooves all leave the ground but
not at the point of full extension
forward and back, as illustrators
imagined, but when all the hooves
are tucked under the horse, as it
switches from "pulling" from the
front legs to "pushing" from the
back legs
Photos show each hoof hits the
ground just as another is leaving
it. At full gallop it gets traction
from one hoof at a time.

Thomas EdisonThomas Edison
Inspired by Muybridge’s work, Edison
decided to develop a motion picture
camera. He bought 90 Muybridge
Motion Study Images.
1889 he filed a patent for his
Kinetoscope to view moving pictures
Although Edison conceived of the idea,
most agree that it was his assistant
William Dickson who did most of the
experimentation and work for the
device.
Edison had idea to etch pictures on
photographic cylinders.
Dickson switched to celluloid film to
demonstrate synchronized motion
with sound.

Kinetograph uses rapid intermittent film
movement to record the movement of
images by taking pictures in quick

To record it uses a motor to run gelatin film
