Monday: Auguste and Louis Lumiere's Cinematographe (and other stuff)

K, guys.  Sorry, didn't know this was due at 1 until it was too late (my mistake), but if it means anything I was busy recoding an entire game to work in a newer engine, and pulled it off too.  Excuses, excuses...  Well, there's mine.

So, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, they're, like, bros, ya know?  'N their dad was making dough by makin' photography stuff, you know, for development and stuff, 'cuz it was really expensive and time-consuming and stuff back then.  So then, they see Edison, and his, like, Kinetoscope, which was like a little peephole TV, ya know, but, like, more like a projector-flipbook thing, right?  And Edison was making some real stacks sellin' em, ya know, but the Lumieres were like, but, it's, like, so lame, cuz it's so big and heavy and inconvenient, and you can only, like, watch it one person at a time, which really blows for, like, family occasions and stuff, or, like, anything with more than just you, ya know?  So they built their own little movie machine, right, called the cinematographe, and had it all finished n' stuff by early 1895, and it was, like, a camera, printer, and projector all totally fused into one mega-movie machine, right?  Because, at the time, right, such a thing was, like, crazy to most people, and they were all like, "WHOAH BROS!  HELLA CRAY-CRAY!"  But they were, like, smart, because they went and kept it all on the down-low until they had, like, a patent for it, so no one could steal it.  But they weren't done inventing, right?  So they, like, had made a lot of really cool, revolutionary stuff, and would make more.  Like, in 1907, they showcased Autochrome coloring, which, like, used transparent colored grains to filter color, so it was, like, a colored transparency.
    William Friese-Greene was another inventor of the same era and field as the above-noted Lumiere brothers.  He ran multitudes of experiments and experimental designs, seeking progress in the photographic field... but without much success.  He had made a relatively high-framerate camera before the Lumieres perfected their cinematographe, using a rotator pulling film in front of an exposure port via little pegs, but it only managed a measly 5 frames per second, making it rather ineffective and thus unpopular, whilst the Lumieres employed machinery somewhat similar to that within a sewing machine to alternate frames, creating a much faster framespeed.  He did, however, develop methods of stereoscopic imaging (early 3D) and coloring (Biocolour) which would ultimately bring fame and outshine the Lumieres in these particular fields.  He's disputed as "the father of cinematography," though this debate has proven precarious and heated.
