This documentary concisely covers the vastly complex history of the origins of Cinema. From the very first zoetropes and magic lanterns to the very first motion capture film cameras. Covering the key individuals involved in the creation of cinema, such as, Albertus Magnus, Eadweard Muybridge, Louis Le Prince and the Lumiere Brothers. Any film fan or anyone with an interest in the history of cinema will hopefully find this both interesting and enlightening.

Note: The narration was re-recorded as some people have commented that the audio is too quiet in this video. In the new narration, I have also made an addition at 12:50, inserting a part about Louis Le Prince. Also at 18:05, I have made some minor amendments to the Georges Melies section.

It is the first documentary I have ever made. Any questions please ask.
