The pinhole camera noted by Aristotle in the 4th century BC. later became known as the Camera Obscura, a term introduced by the Italians meaning "a dark room". The first pinhole did not use film, but the camera was so big eg, a room or box size, that the taker was acutally inside the camera and was simply tracing the images by hand. Kinda like paint by colors. And who knows, maybe the pinhole effect could have been observed from early man who saw images in caves produced by a small light opening in the cave??? Anyhoo, the Italians used the Camera Obscura during the 16th Century and was an aid by artist of the Renaissance eg, Guardi, Canaletto. Leanardo Da Vinci noted the possibility's of the camera. The "lens" did not actually come about until aprox. 1530 AD possibly by Daniel Barbaro.

∙ 13y agoThe first machine patented in the United States that showed animated pictures or movies was a device called the "wheel of life" or "zoopraxiscope". Patented in 1867 by William Lincoln, moving drawings or photographs were watched through a slit in the zoopraxiscope. However, this was a far cry from motion pictures as we know them today. Modern motion picture making began with the invention of the motion picture camera.
