device for projecting
motion pictures that pre-
dated celluloid film strip.

Eadweard Muybridge,Eadweard Muybridge,
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.
Series of photos, taken for Stanford University
“The Horse in Motion”

Roll Film, 1888

and an amateur motion-picture
camera.
Kodak: “You press the button, we do the rest.”

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.

Edison's Kinetograph was a motion
picture camera developed by William
Dickson, 1892
Kinetograph uses rapid intermittent film
movement to record the movement of
images by taking pictures in quick
succession. Played back it creates illusion
of motion.
To record it uses a motor to run gelatin film
over a photographic lens.
