The first instrument from which you could actually view moving pictures was called a zoopraxiscope (by Abrahim Lincoln) which had a normal eyepiece(glass) and a long strip of drawings which was rollled under it fast enough to please the eye. Only one person could view it at a time. Moreover, this is a far cry from the motion camera we know. Soon, a Frenchman named Louis Lumiere with his brother made the cinematograph, the first actual motion camera. He showed it off in a cafe which was stampeded by people excited to see actual pictures moving (only the rich could afford it. Later, Thomas Alva Edison invented the kaliedoscope and the vitascope creating the root of motion cameras. Bigger projectors were invented and soon the cinema spread worldwide. Drama and music was added to make a movie. Special effects were invented by accident. A man recording a video of a bridge put the camera on sleep and forty-five minutes later switched it on. When he played the video, the camera shortened the video, removing the part when it was on snooze. The video showed a car suddenly fading into a bus halfway down the bridge.
