WELCOME TO MY THIRTY-FIVE+ YEAR STUDY INTO THE WORLD OF PRE CINEMA.
This is not a study of early cinema. It’s a study of before cinema.
You might ask WHO ARE THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF CINEMA?
This is where you will get the answer and there are many.
This is a serious look at what led up to cinema, before cinema arrived. It’s a study of the people, the devices and the natural phenomenon that was discovered and then fashioned into the working machines, devices, and contraptions that first allowed people to go to the movies.
And, it includes a multitude of topics closely related to the science of moving pictures, leading to the technology that was fueled by a strong desire to see movement within art, at mankind’s beginning.
My argument leans strongly towards man’s desire to see cinema in the earliest of times, that he did the best he could to place it into his art, not having the ability to document it any other way.
This is not a look at what year cinema arrived.
The year cinema arrived has already been decided by the multitude of experts throughout academia. Each has the date it all began and the person who began it. However, because that decision is so important to this study, I am leaving it up to you my reader, after going through this chronologically-listed, and illustrated book. By the time you reach chapter eighteen you will know what I am talking about.
