The Zoopraxiscope - 1879
John Wesley Hyatt - 1863
Why is Hyatt important?
n Hyatt, a printer, combined camphor, alcohol and gun cotton, compressed it into billiard balls n The material was called “celluloid” n Great stuff, except
n They had an unfortunate tendency to explode – after all, they were made of gun cotton.
Hannibal Goodwin n Took the celluloid invented by Hyatt and turned it into sheets
George Eastman n Took Goodwin’s celluloid sheets and turned them into strips n These strips are called film
Etienne Jules Marey n n Added sprocket holes to the edge of film in order to pull it through the projector The first movie projector using strips of pictures instead of disks
Thomas Alva Edison
Edison put together all the parts n Parts and ideas he got from others Uchatius’s idea of passing pictures rapidly in front of a light and through a lens, creating the appearance of moving pictures, which was taken by Doebler as stage show, attracting the attention of Muybridge, who told Edison about it n Hyatt’s celluloid, turned into sheets by Goodwin, and then into strips as film by Eastman n Marey’s sprocket holes on the edge of the film n
n Edison’s parts n The light bulb for a light source n Marketing the whole idea, selling his
Edison’s Kinetoscope – 1894
n Movies were short films of regular life Two men boxing n A girl dancing n Personal lives, such as n
Lumière Brothers
Lumière’s program n La Sortie des usines Lumière (quitting time at the Lumiere factory)
n Le Repas de bébé (a Lumiere child eating)as
n L’Arroseur arrosé (a boy playing a practical joke on a gardener)
n L’Arrivée d’un train en gare
Arrivee d’un train en gare
All this was fine, but soon the novelty wore off. More was needed.
George Méliès
Méliès - 1902
Melies and others followed the Lumieres and showed movies in theatres. They were called “Nickelodeons” – odeon from the Greek for theatre, and nickel for what patrons paid to watch the movies.
Edison jumped on the bandwagon.

The Great Train Robbery - 1903
Again, the novelty soon wore off. The time had come for longer films – two and three reelers instead of one-reelers, like D. W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation”
You may have noticed something
No sound
Edison tried adding sound by combining his kinetoscope and his kinetophone, showing the film while playing the sound.
The major problem was synchronization
Remember the telephone – How sound could be converted to electrical impulses
Changing the amplitude of an electrical current can cause a light to brighten or dim in direct relation to the amount of electricity.
Danish researchers – Discovered selenium would generate an electrical signal in direct relation to the amount of light shining on it.
Exposing film to the flickering light created by sound, then putting it on one side of the film created the sound track.
