Paul's 'Cinematograph Camera No. 1' of 1895 was the first camera to feature reverse-cranking, which allowed the same film footage to be exposed several times, thereby creating multiple exposures. This technique was first used in his 1901 film Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost. Both filmmakers experimented with the speeds of the camera to generate new ...
The Lumière brothers (UK: / ˈ l uː m i ɛər /, US: / ˌ l uː m i ˈ ɛər /; French:), Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas Lumière (19 October 1862 – 10 April 1954) and Louis Jean Lumière (5 October 1864 – 6 June 1948), [1] [2] were French manufacturers of photography equipment, best known for their Cinématographe motion picture system and the short films they produced between 1895 and ...
In 1887, he began to experiment with the use of paper film, made transparent through oiling, to record motion pictures. He also said he attempted using experimental celluloid, made with the help of Alexander Parkes. In 1889, Friese-Greene took out a patent for a moving picture camera that was capable of taking up to ten photographs per second.
The oldest known functional motion picture cameras were developed by Louis Le Prince in the 1880s. On 2 November 1886, he applied for a US patent for a "Method of and apparatus for producing animated pictures of natural scenery and life", which was granted on 10 January 1888.
Previously, motion picture studios used a second camera alongside the primary camera to create a duplicate negative. 1932 "Flowers and Trees", the first full-color cartoon, is made in Technicolor by Disney. Kodak introduces the first 8 mm amateur motion picture film, cameras, and projectors. [16]
Cinématographe Lumière at the Institut Lumière, France. Cinematograph or kinematograph is an early term for several types of motion picture film mechanisms. The name was used for movie cameras as well as film projectors, or for complete systems that also provided means to print films (such as the Cinématographe Lumière).
This idea had first been made public in 1890 in descriptions of the moving picture camera of William Friese-Greene. [10] These former Edison associates helped to design the Eidoloscope projector system and a widescreen camera to film with, which would be used in the first commercial movie screening in world history on 20 May 1895.

The mechanics of primordial motion picture cameras and exhibition are explained, [4] with eponymous emphasis given to the kinetograph, the kinetoscope, and the kinetophonograph. Dickson worked with Edison on the development of these devices, which respectively capture pictures on film, play films back, and combine picture with sound. [5]
