  27. Hannibal Goodwin • Took the celluloid invented by Hyatt and turned it into sheets

  29. Etienne Jules Marey • Added sprocket holes to the edge of film in order to pull it through the projector • The first movie projector using strips of pictures instead of disks

  30. Thomas Alva Edison

  31. Edison put together all the parts • Parts and ideas he got from others • Uchatius’s idea of passing pictures rapidly in front of a light and through a lens, creating the appearance of moving pictures, which was taken by Doebler as stage show, attracting the attention of Muybridge, who told Edison about it • Hyatt’s celluloid, turned into sheets by Goodwin, and then into strips as film by Eastman • Marey’s sprocket holes on the edge of the film

  32. Edison’s parts • The light bulb for a light source • Marketing the whole idea, selling his

  33. Edison’s Kinetoscope – 1894
