LESSON 3 History of the. cinema
The very next year Thomas Edison,
founder of the Edison Laboratory
and inventor of the light bulb, wanted
to use this machine. He im m ediately
asked his com pany’s photographer
William Dickinson to create a m a
chine that would allow seeing more
than just
1 2
images in succession.
William D ickinson’s idea was revo I u-
tionary - the kinetoscope.
In order to do this, M uybridge set up 12 ca
meras along the racetrack. Then he took the 12
images from the racetrack. These images could
be viewed in succession on a machine Zoopra-
xiscope that he had invented. That made it seem
like the images them selves were moving. It was
the first step to motion pictures as we know it.
The story of the movies began in
the 1870s with Edward M uybridge.
He was one of the pioneers of pho
tography, and he is called the father
of the moving image. He met a man
named Leland Stanford, who asked
if it was possible to see the m om ent
when all four feet of a horse were in
the air during a gallop?
