The first early prototype movie cameras and short films were made in the 1880s, however the idea didn't really catch on until the Lumière brothers decided to join in.

The movie business started when the Lumière brothers patented the idea for an early film projecter called the "cinematographe", which is where the word "cinema" comes from. They unveiled their invention with a short movie at an exposition in Paris in 1895. It became so popular that many companies started up making movies, and before long the movies industry as we know it today, was booming.
