To project the image an adjustable prism that had to manually lined up by the projectionist as two separate images formed on the projection screen this did not work as planned as the projectionist failed to line up the images correctly.
The cameras used to film “The Talkies” as they where known, had to be kept in enormous soundproof casing.

On December 28, 1895 Georges was an audience member of the first seen movie or “moving picture” made in the world. This was a very short single reel, one shot film documenting a train pulling into the station.

This revolutionary new type of “magic” was discovered by the Lumiere Brothers, who used their invention, the Cinematographe, to capture the first movie ever made. Melies soon after asked to purchase a camera from the Lumiere Brothers, but they refused. In desperate attempt to utilize this new entertainment tool, he set out to build his own camera.

Church music tended to be more conservative than secular compositions. Three composers kind of dominated the Classical Era which are Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

That first apparatus created by Robert that was called 'Phantoscope' is considered the current cinematograph precursor, although there's a previous reference about of another optic machine invented by a German priest in the 16th century, called 'magic lantern..., but coming back to Roberton's machine, however, this was only able to show drawn images that always did the same movement in front of an motionless scenery.

In this way, the photographic fusil arrived, and with it the photos in motion, perhaps were they the first familiar videos?. And finally, the Lumiere Brothers' cinematograph. It was really a very interesting program! I think it would have liked
