Lumière Brothers


Have you ever heard about Auguste and Louis Lumière better known as Lumière Brothers?

They names are Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas and Louis Jean and they were among the earliest filmmakers in history. (Appropriately, "lumière" translates as "light" in English.)

The Lumière brothers were born in Besançon, France, in 1862 and 1864, and moved to Lyon in 1870, where both attended La Martiniere, the largest technical school in Lyon. Their father, Claude-Antoine Lumière (1840–1911), ran a photografic firm and both brothers worked for him: Louis as a physicist and Auguste as a manager. Louis had made some improvements to the still-photograph process, the most notable being the dry-plate process, which was a major step towards moving images.

The Lumières held their first private screening of projected motion pictures in 1895. Their first public screening of films at which admission was charged was held on December 28, 1895, at Salon Indien du Grand Café in Paris. This history-making presentation featured ten short films. Each film is 17 meters long, which, when hand cranked through a projector, runs approximately 50 seconds.

Personally, I like the Lumiere brothers because they are the first to delve into what I like......
