Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay that takes a look at all the different technologies that paved the way for the moving image, from the camera obscura to zoetropes.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Every piece of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> has to start somewhere. And as far as the moving image is concerned, depending on how loosey goosey you want to get, the origins of cinema go as far back as the 1st millennium BCE, when enterprising storytellers used puppets and a light source to bring myths and folklore to life.<\/p>\n<p>To Plato\u2019s chagrin, many of us chose to stay in the cave, where dazzling, spectacles play out before our eyes. Not only that, but as the centuries have trickled on by, innovations, improvements, and a variety of eureka moments have led to a string of developments that ultimately lead to the movie-watching experience we know and love today.<\/p>\n<p>The following video essay offers an impressively thorough breakdown of various benchmarks in cinema\u2019s journey from antiquity to streaming (oof). Broken down into eight chapters, the essay takes a look at: shadow puppet theatre; the camera obscura; the magic lantern; the concept of phantasmagoria; optical playthings; still photography; the stereopticon; the Zoopraxiscope, and the Kinematograph.<\/p>\n<p>Hold onto your historical hats, and dive in: to cinema\u2019s prehistory.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CPre-Cinema_Cinematheque%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cPre-Cinema | Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The History of Cinema Before It Was Cinema\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UzXBmhzOI5g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"block-19294f9d-99fc-4cee-8ca7-135f7eaf7b45\">This video on the historical predecessors of cinema was\u00a0created by Luiza Liz Bond and Lewis Michael Bond, the duo behind <strong>The Cinema Cartography<\/strong>.
