Brothers Like No Others<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Auguste and Louis Lumi\u00e9re were the two brothers known for the creation of the Cin\u00e9matograph, revolutionizing the camera and being responsible for being some of the earliest filmmakers. Born in France in the 19th century, they grew up surrounded by photography and film and because of that, it would eventually lead them to revolutionize the very thing they were constantly surrounded by. Life was not always easy for the Lumiere brothers and in 1882 their father’s workshop which produced photographic plates (the way photography was produced before film roles) seemed like it was about to fail. However, due to the brother’s intuition, they were able to create a way to change the way that their dad’s photographic plates worked which saved their family business from failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cin\u00e9matograph Creates Cinema <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is no doubt that the Cin\u00e9matograph changed film forever, while modern-day cameras look much different than this one, none of them would have ever existed if it weren’t for their revolutionary predecessor. The Cin\u00e9matograph was a multi-use invention because it could double as a projector as well as being a camera. Before the Cin\u00e9matograph was the Kinetograph, but the problem with that camera was that it was incredibly heavy and battery-powered, whereas the Cin\u00e9matograph was lightweight and was manually powered by cranking it by hand. Almost equally as important as this new invention was the short films that came with it. The Lumi\u00e9re brothers created their first film, “Workers Leaving the Lumi\u00e8re Factory” in 1895 which would change history forever. This film was the first glimpse into the endless potential of possibilities for what film is and could become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumi\u00e9res Impact On Modern Times<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many people, myself included, have the Lumi\u00e9re brothers to thank for their impact on modern-day cinema. Because without them, there is a good chance we would not be in the same place today when it comes to movies. The Lumi\u00e9res and their inventions have served as a building block for movies. New technology constantly builds upon each other and, the Cin\u00e9matograph was the starting point for that evolution. While I enjoy many different art forms, movies will most likely always be my favourite way of experiencing story-telling. There is something truly magical about cinema, the range of emotions that can be portrayed and experienced by viewers is unmatched. I truly wouldn’t be inspired to create the way that I do if I didn’t have the influence of film in my life. So many memories for me have been made through the experience of movies in my life and, I honestly wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for the help of the Lumi\u00e9re brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
