W.L.K. Dickson This picture shows Dickson filming Pope Leo X. Thomas Edison picked Dickson to work on the kinetoscope project. Thomas Alva Edison

The Kinetoscope The Kinetoscope was a motion picture viewing device. The viewer inserted a coin and then watched a short film loop that lasted less than a minute.

Bacigalupi’s Kinetoscope Parlor in San Francisco, 1895

Edison Makes Films The kinetoscope was an instant if short- lived success. Edison quickly followed with a projection system. He began to make films to supply demand. This was Edison’s first movie studio in West Orange, New Jersey. It was called the Black Maria.

The Lumieres Brothers Built a competing device called the cinematographe in Created a series of films at their own studio. Admission was one franc at the Paris viewing parlor.

Auguste Melies Melies was one of the individuals who made films for the Lumieres brothers. His films were very popular in the US too. He was famous for creating illusions with film.

Edison’s Patent Wars Edison claimed that all other film makers and exhibitors were infringing upon his patent rights. He neglected to secure European patents. Eventually he settled the patent cases in order to pursue the profitable business. The patent wars delayed the development of the movie business for a few years.
