jan 1, 1890 - Motion Picture Photography or Projection: The Kinetograph

Description:

Description:
In 1888 in New York City, the great inventor Thomas Edison and his British assistant William Dickson worried that others were gaining ground in camera development. The pair set out to create a device that could record moving pictures. In 1890 Dickson unveiled the Kinetograph, a primitive motion picture camera. In 1892 he announced the invention of the Kinestoscope, a machine that could project the moving images onto a screen. In 1894, Edison initiated public film screenings in recently-opened "Kinetograph Parlors."

Exposure:
This machine was encountered by the group members in the Disney movie "Tarzan." He is seen playing with a motion picture projector in the human camp, and through this scene, we get a glimpse of how the device works in real life. It was also explained in detail during the members' past lessons.
