I am feeling a bit anxious right now because I think I might be spending too much time researching for the early precedents of cinema. How long till I get to 3D cameras, CGI
and drones?? (couple of months if I keep at this pace!!).
But I am really fascinated on understanding how things started. And once they actually do start, the technology catches up quickly. So I am expecting my research will be more concise from now on.
Everything I shared by now are important precedents for the creation of the Cinématographe by the famous french Lumière brothers. That was, for many people, the real beginning of cinema. What they invented was "A three-in-one device that could record, develop and project motion pictures, the Cinématographe would go down in history as the first viable film camera".
This was clearly a huge technological advance in terms of recording and projecting moving images, but it was also a massive swift on how people view those moving images. It was the first system that could be seem by a large audience at the same time.
In 1895 they recorded what is considered to be the first motion picture in Cinema, the “La Sortie des ouvriers de l’usine Lumière” (“Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory”).
