= William Lincoln made the first machine in the United States in 1867 that showed animated movies called the zoopraxiscope. They were either drawings or photographs watched through this slit. Louis Lumiere has been known oe creating the first motion picture camera in 1895, though, many others have made similar things. Lumiere was able to invent a portable camera that had three funtions in one invention called the cinematograph. Many people said that Lumiere's invention started the motion picture era. And in 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to first people to project a moving, photographic film to a paying audience of more than one person. Though the Lumiere brothers did project a film, it was not the first. In 1891, Thomas Edison had shown his kinetoscope which inabled one person to go up at a time and watch moving pictures. And then later in 1896 Edison decided to make the vitascope projector which was the first successful projector in the U.S.. = //**Zoopraxiscope**// //**Cinematograph**//

= William Kennedy Laurie Dickson invented the first celluloid strip. The process is a series of slicing the strips into thin slices. Then coating them in this gelatin emulsion. Thomas Edison, in 1893 at the Chicago State Fair, he showed everyone his new inventions; the kinetoscope and the kinetograph. When you would look in it, you would see Dickson's celluloid strip. It's as if u were just watching this little movie through a magnifying lens. There were many parlors that spread through Europe, and amny people would watch these films. Though, Edison decided to not send either of these inventions over seas. Since he did that, people started thinking of things that were similar but different from the kinetoscope, such as the camera invented by Robert William Paul and his partner Birt Acres. Robert Paul wanted to make something that he could view to a larger audience, so he created to projector. His first presentation was in 1895. =
