Film technology has its roots in the early 1830s, when Belgian Joseph Plato and Simon Stamper simultaneously developed a device called a phenakistoscope, which featured a rotating disk with slots through which a series of drawings could be viewed, creating the effect of a single moving picture.
The Finakistoscope, which is considered a precursor to modern moving images, followed decades of progress. In the 1890s Thomas Edison and his assistant William Dixon developed the first moving image camera called the Kinetograph, and in the following year 1891 Edison invented the Kinetoscope, a machine with a peephole viewer that allowed one person to view a tape from the movie.
In 1894 Antoine Lumiere, father of Auguste (1862-1954) and Louis (1864-1948) witnessed a demonstration of Edison's kinetoscope. Lumiere the elder was so impressed with the device that he told his sons who ran a successful photographic plate factory in Lyon, France.
The cinematographer Louis Lumiere, patented in 1895, was a combination of a film camera and a projector that could project moving images onto a screen to an audience. The cinematographer was also smaller and lighter in weight compared to Edison's invention.
The Lumiere brothers opened theaters (known as cinemas) in 1896 to show their work and sent crews of photographers around the world to show films and shoot new materials. United Dedicated Film Show, in New Orleans.
