Film Before Film - Phenakistoscope, Zootrope, Praxinoscope

[@dilansozdemir]

I'm very grateful to you for the educational video. I'm a radio and television programming student and visuals like this are very useful for students like me and other people who are interested in this field. ❤

[@bernardwelt]

Good! I used it in a history of cinema course many times. I think the full video may still be available from Kino

i know this video was posted forever ever ago, but if you're still around, could you please cite the original video? I would love to view the rest of it and use it as a reference in my research. thanks!

[@bernardwelt]

Sure. Please se: www.kinolorber.com/film/view/id/108 and www.imdb.com/title/tt0207471/ Film Before Film, or "Was geschah wirklich zwischen den Bildern?" is an extraordinary documentary with a wealth of images of "proto-cinema." or "archaic cinema," among other terms used these days. It was hugely helpful in a class I used to teach on "The Birth of Cinema." Quite a few students were inspired to experiment with phenakistoscopes and other forms. I'm not at all sure how you could obtain a complete copy these days, but contact me if you're thinking of that. If you feel like sharing the subject of your research, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Inventor: "I've just invented a cool thing that simulates motion from a series of still pictures, but I need a simple, easy to remember name for it to appeal to the public. I know, I'll call it the Phenakistoscope."

People weren't as verbally incompetent back then. The new how to read phonetically, and also tended to be aware of classical and foreign languages. So long words were not scary to them, unlike modern dimwits.

🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Hello, I love this video. I work in a museum and we are developing an exhibition about how cinema began. Would you be happy for us to possibly use excerpts from this video to help explain early entertainment to our visitors? Thanks, Charlotte

[@bernardwelt]

Ms Howard: Please contact me at my email [e-mail]. I'd like to know what museum it is, and the nature of the exhibition planned. I did not originate this video and don't have distribution rights.

[@charlottehoward7673]

@@bernardwelt Hi Bernard, yes of course. I am emailing you now.

[@yusufkerem-i7j]

Hello Bernard, I'm doing research on the subject of animation history. The video you made helped me. By the way, can I ask where you got those toys?

[@bernardwelt]

Hello! The video is not mine; it was made quite a long time ago by a German collector of proto-cinema . I don’t know where his collection is, but I happened to see some of it once, by pure chance, in an exhibition at the Lumières Brothers museum in Lyon France. The video is called Film Before Film. It was released in 1984 and is still listed at Kino Lorber, if you want to find the complete film,

[@cykanetwork775]

When was this recorded

[@bernardwelt]

Film Before Film is a German-language documentary made by Werner Nekes in 1986 to show a collection of "proto-cinema," also called "archaic cinema," etc--mechanical devices that either project an image using light, or create the illusion of motion: the two essential elements of cinema. It's a great resource for History of Cinema courses like mine. It's available from Kino Video.

[@bernardwelt]

By the way, commentators often note that Nekes' understanding of "persistence of vision" as part of the perception of motion in cinema is now outdated. Research has shown that this is a psychological, not physiological phenomenon--that is, not due to properties of the visual apparatus.
