    So movies first started off rich people betting that a horse at full speed takes his hoves of the ground at once.Of course the gentleman was correct andthe horse did take his feet off the ground and in this process found out about moving pictures. Later in time to become movies.
  • The First moving pictures Parlor

    This was kinda like a crappy movie theather that can be enjoyed by only one person. The way it worked is you put your eyes in and watched a thirty second movie with extreme discomfort. But these problems lead to many improvments to the technology.
  • Thomas Edison

    The man that wanted americas money and wouldn't release a better version of his product.Edison wanting to make money completly hide the fact he had a better version of his devicen that he'll later realease for greed. But his late invention will lead to everything else we have.
  • The realease of Cinematographs

    With the release of his late invention he made more money. But for its time was great because it was 30-60 seconds long which was really good back then.Which will now lead to modern day movies.
  • The Orgin of Nicklodeon

    Nickelodeon came from the 1900's because it was used to help performers.It costed five cents.
  • The First Movie

    The first movie that lasted 12 minutes and is one of the great movies for that time.It was created by Edison and Edwin Porter. It also introduced most of the camara positions that are used today.
