Descripción:

Thomas Edison invented the Kinetoscope. This was a box in which a series of still images spun around in order to create the illusion of movement.
The Kinetoscope's interior was compromised of a 50 ft film arranged around a series of spools. In order to see the moving image, you had to look through the sight opening.
A disadvantage of the Kinetoscope was that the film often got tangled within the spools, consequently ruining the image.
However, in the late 1880's, George Eastman had the idea of adding holes along the edge of film roll. This allowed the film to be clawed through the camera spools, preventing it from becoming tangled.

Alongside this, Edison also created the first studio in which moving images could be shot. This was called 'The Black Maria'. In order for the studio to follow the light of the sun to project these moving images, it was made so that it could revolve around a pivot.
One of the most famous moving images that was shot within The Black Maria was 'Fred Ott's First Sneeze'. This was an un-projectable Kinetoscope Film, shot by W.K.L Dickson.
