Pioneers of Stop Motion: Auguste and Louis Lumière

One Pioneer in Stop Motion were the Lumiére brothers Auguste and Louis.

These were some of the early filmakers in existence. They created cinematography and infact theier first film was workers leaving the Lumiére factory.

They first worked on still photography using a process called "dry plate". They however did not start on moving pictures until much later after their father died. 

They created the cinematography method by using perforated images in a camera. The cinematograph was both a picture player, projector and film developer. The cinematograph created a very sharp images so it was a better projector than other designs at the time. 

The process was very simple compared to other designs as it used a film strip of images as its medium which is where early cinema came from. The film was held in place by forks that went the through the perferated sides of the film. This was play through the lens with light behind it which then projected the image through the lens creating early cinema.
