at art school they make you take this class that lasts a semester long... guess what its 2500 dollars. this 25 minute video goes over everything. and youtube is a goldmine for things that are free. ugh i hate school
I don't understand why colleges focus so much on teaching acting for theatre, but don't offer very many classes teaching acting for film. Most people care way more about movies than they do theatre. Film acting and theatre acting are two completely different styles (a person who wants to be a film actor won't benefit much from theatre courses). I will continue to make videos here on RUclips explaining why film acting classes should be more of a focus than theatre ones.
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary! Ironically, the film sheds light on the problem filmmakers had with audio, and it seems that the issue persists today as well. The narration loudness is too low...Hopefully you will not take this as an insult to the documentary, as I still find it great. Thank you for posting it!
Just leave out the first film ever created, I think that was important to the history of cinema and your information of the first feature film is a bit off including the tittle, the running time and the budget
Great video but there is a correction that needs to be made. George Eastman was not the inventor of Celluloid film, in fact it was Rev Hannibal Goodwin of Newark NJ. Eastman was sued in 1900 and forced to pay 5,000,000. dollars for copyright Infringement.
Thanks Kenneth for your comment. Unfortunately RUclips does not allow for videos to be replaced. So if I deleted this video and uploaded a new one. All of its comments and shares would be lost. And this video has been shared numerous times on other sites, so all those sites would just get an error message/blank video player. However, what i can do is create a page or section on my website where amendments are clearly noted, and linked to and from this video.
Hi, I also want to make a little exose about history of cinema to a little group of childrens i take care of, could you help me with what you've done? thank you very much
This documentary is greatly informative & fluid within its content but I have to agree, the whispering of narrator makes me question if she recorded this in a room full of sleeping babies. LOL Excellent info however! Thank you very much for all the work put into this & for posting it for all to learn ;-)
Hi Pete, I created a revised narration of the doc which does include a section on Louis Le Prince. ruclips.net/video/pBahe2_sZk0/видео.html - And I agree he should have been included initially. In the future I would like make one final definitive version of this documentary where I also include William Friese-Greene. Although to keep this concise I am not sure I would include Nadar - but I will give this some thought.
The Motion of Pictures The sleep inducing narration was a bonus. I really did enjoy the documentary; it was immensely informative! Thanks for sharing it! :)
" The cinema is invention without future. " Well at the time nobody was thinking of using camera to tell a story, so he said it in the context of what was possible at that time - Which was to make a few frames of people exit factory. Sure you might say that he was short sighted, but again at the time it was very primitive technology and nobody was thinking that it would be possible to tell a story using camera.
I closed captioned this accurately 2 days ago. How long will it take to be approved an uploaded? I have Deaf/HH that are required to watch this for a class.
@@TheMotionofPictures thank you! I just realized that the very first words [Carl] [Jung] are in brackets can you remove those? They were there automatically when I captiond it and assumed it was for formatting.
@Lookather Yes - that's a valid point. Unfortunetly it comes across a little boring! But I've learnt from making this doc and wouldn't let it happen again.
some claim many of the "great" Renaissance painters used a camera obscura as a guide to paint their subjects; particularly portraits. this claim is strengthened when its observed that these subjects are represented as disproportionately left handed. thanks for this very thorough documentary.
Hi StamfordBridge. I made a revised version to this documentary with new narration. I hope this narration is of a much better quality! Thanks. Please see in the video description for link to video with new narration.
If anyone would like to download this or any other video clip, I suggest downloading the FREECORDER menu bar that will let you do it simply and trouble free
Hi Paol, there is so much history of cinema, that is was difficult to fit everything in. Sorry for leaving out German / French impressionism. I am working on some other stuff at the moment and will certainly bare in mind some other docs on cinema in the future. thanks for watching my documentary.
Thanks for your comments :) I did realise after finishing this doc I should have put Le Prince in! But I made a video after this doc, to make up for it as best as possible. Please see link in the comments.
@baconbutterburger - thanks for your commends and in regards to the audio I take it as no insult at all. The narration has come out to quite. But this was the first doc I have made so it was also a learning process for me. I will make sure the narration on future docs is sounding at its best possible.
Excellent documentary! Though I was a little surprised you did not mention Louis LePrince. At any rate, I hope to see more of your documentaries. It was well structured and extremely informative. A must for any student of film history.
I remember a video with Peter Jackson disputing the claim that Edison was the first to make a movie. I forget the fellow's name, but he was an Aussie and there appeared to be substantial proof that he developed film before 1891...
Tymothy Smith Would be really interesting to find out more detail about this. Looking into this a little further - there was a sports documentary made in Australia in 1896 - called The Melbourne Cup. Although I didn't find anything earlier than that.
Volume is fine for me, and Christy is a wonderful narrator with a voice as sexy as her look- great work and come back to America and Hollywood Christy, we want you.
If you are going to have a closed caption available please, please, please make it correct. Trying to read horribly translated captions really takes away from the info given. Ex: "canada phone" was written while kinetiphone was said. Also almost every single person named is so badly spelled at one point it was written as "F mister fornia say" and "the rest I care" ( point 7:36-7:31).
Thanks for pointing this out, but I did not create the captions. These are automatically generated by RUclips. I am looking into this to see if they can be edited or turned off.
Simply Click the "CC tab" which is just below the Image on the RUclips Screen on your computer, and then Turn-Off the closed captions, and they simply won't show on your computer's screen...simple as that...

Nicolas Tyler Doyle That's why europe is better-you can go to free art schools all around the place ;)
Loved doc but the voice of the narrator is just way too annoying
You forgot Friese Greene and Louis Prince. Perhaps because this is an american documentary and those films were made in the UK.
There is an updated version with Louis Le Prince is included ruclips.net/video/pBahe2_sZk0/видео.html
Interesting material, but the voice of the narrator induces a coma. She ruined an interesting story.
The video is extremely informative but I just find it difficult to keep paying attention because of the narrator's pace and tone.

thank you very much
An ASMR documentary?
what film is tht on 1:19 and BTW you guys should watch this movie call Hugo directed by martin scorsese its about George Melies
This documentary is greatly informative & fluid within its content but I have to agree, the whispering of narrator makes me question if she recorded this in a room full of sleeping babies. LOL
Excellent info however! Thank you very much for all the work put into this & for posting it for all to learn ;-)
always in these docus. no mention of Nadar, Louis Le Prince or William Friese-Greene. Skip from Muybridge to Thomas Edison/WKL Dickson.

Very fascinating and insightful! I really enjoyed the narrator's soothing voice; it was very ASMR like and it lulled me to sleep. Thank you!

This is a very good point - and I'll consider this if or when I make another doc on the history of cinema.
No probs. I just sent you the narration.

hi , i found your documentary very interesting . hm... but i could understand every words since my english is not that good. may i have the lines?
good narration. brilliant !
jose cesc Thanks Jose
For me it's not the narrator's pace and tone as it is volume. I had to put the volume way up just to hear it. Otherwise I liked it.

This is a Lumiere brothers filming a train at La Ciotat. I haven't seen Hugo but will add it to my watch list - thanks.
Nice.
Thanks for your comments :) I did realise after finishing this doc I should have put Le Prince in! But I made a video after this doc, to make up for it as best as possible. Please see link in the comments.
Hi Mehvish, if you send me your email address I can email you the narration in a word doc.
Yes that's fine, I can send you the narration. Please send me your email so I can email it to you. Thanks.
