Joseph Plateau was the first person to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image To do this he used counter rotating disks with repeating drawn images. He created this device in 1832 and called it the phenakistoscope.
The zoetrope was invented in 1834 by William Horner, who originally called it a Daedalum. It was based on Plateau's phenakistoscope, but was more convenient since it did not require a viewing mirror and allowed more than one person to use it at the same time.
In 1877 charles- Emile Reynaud developed the praxinoscope It used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder. The praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors.
Edward Muybridge was an English photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture. Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope.
Thomas Edison created the kinetoscope. The Kinetoscope was designed for films to be viewed by one individual at a time through a peephole viewer window at the top of the device. The Kinetoscope was not a movie projector but introduced the basic approach that would become the standard for all cinematic productions.
Auguste and Louis Lumiere are credited with the world's first public film screening on December 28, 1895. The showing of approximately ten short films lasting only twenty minutes in total was held in the basement lounge of the Grand Cafe on the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris and would be the very first public demonstration of their device they called the Cinematograph
