History of Movie Camera

Imagine the world without a camera, no we can’t. Years ago, that
one invention changed everything. The invention of the camera
becomes a boon for the modern generation. In the past who knew
that we can make our memories immortal just by filming them?
The camera is the most essential tool in filmmaking, we know that
it’s a super controversial statement to lead with but we’re all used to
seeing or taking part in a debate on which cameras are the biggest
game changer or which camera is the best. There was a time when
the movie camera didn’t exist, but to understand how the movie
camera came we need to know about the motion picture.

Whose Brain Child was the Movie Camera:

The first motion picture was Sally Gardner at a gallop or the horse in
motion. The term motion picture comes from the idea of using
multiple pictures shown in rapid succession to give the illusion of
movement. Eadweard Muybridge whose name is spelled like this so
you know he's legit was hired in 1872 by a racehorse owner to settle
the debate going on at the time of getting this whether a horse ever
had all of its hooves off the ground at the same time every word
accomplished this by using 12 cameras set up along the track and as
the horse galloped it set off a series of trip wires triggering each
camera the experiment was a success and settled the debate once
and for all.
A few years later in 1880, Muybridge used his invention the
Zoopraxiscope to project the images at the California School of Fine

Arts but the thing the Zoopraxiscope used glass discs with painted
silhouettes on them to project the images so it wasn’t the original
photographs it wasn’t until much later that the images were put in
sequence and animated as we see them today but with that desire to
capture and display motion.
To find a true movie we move forward to the first true movie camera
invented by Louis la prompts Louie invented the single lens camera
and shot the first true movie in 1888 on Eastman kodak paper film
the earliest surviving film we have showing consecutive action.

When was the movie camera first used?

After the invention of the motion picture, Scientist starts thinking
that how to execute this idea more impressively and the first camera
came into reality named The Kinetograph. It was the first camera
that captured the motion picture on a moving strip of film. In
Edison’s Kinetograph and Kinetoscope celluloid film was used, and it
was invented by George Eastman in 1889. This was similar to the
camera that we use today.
In 1890 Dickson introduced the kinetograph, a motion picture
camera. And soon after invented the kinetoscope, which could film
moving images onto a screen. And after that Edison launches a public
film screening in his recently opened Kinetograph parlors.
The invention of the movie camera has changed today’s life. We can
see all the work done by the camera it was a life-changing invention
that is continuously modernizing. In today’s Era, it has become a part
of our daily life we make videos of every single moment of our day
and capture the memories.
