Cinemagix - Magical Movie Moments

By Pieet

  • First Movie Ever Made

    If we go way back in time, to the late 19th century, we can see the foundation for the film as we know it today. The origin of movies. In 1878 Eadweard Muybridge created The Horse In Motion as the first movie ever made. It consisted of 18 frames that were displayed after each other at a high speed.
    Nearing the 19th century, the Lumiere brothers created the idea of movies for mass consumption, by having a private movie screening in Paris. The 10 short clips were a huge success.
