The Lumiere Brothers: Crash Course Film History #3
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 04. 2017
- As cinema started to take off, things like "single viewer" devices weren't going to cut it as the medium advanced. In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig talks to us about the Lumiere brothers, their invention of the Cinematographe, and the idea of projecting a movie to an audience.

I'm really glad that you've mentioned the screaming audience story has been debunked.
A lot of film lecturers continue to tell that story.
Wow, those Lumiere brothers were pretty bright.
Is that a pun?
This video is so awesome
I'm a first year film student. My lecturer has set an assignment to talk about the birth of film and cinema and I've been so overwhelmed by all the various information/names/machines/inventions etc. However, these past 3 CrashCourse videos have so beautifully summed up everything I was struggling with I'm no longer panicking about my assignment! Thank you guys so much! ☺️
"The family business, like all my businesses, teetered on the brink of bankruptcy until the brothers took over."
Wait, as in the brothers Green??
I don't even need school. Keep it up Crash Course.
M SBC you mean a book?
Chaitanya Mohan Have fun failing maths then.
HereToHelp - can I get an AMEN!?
Chaitanya Mohan Crash Course is just an FYI CZcams channel.
Given that I have seen what passes for an education in today's horribly underfunded public school system, you are probably not too far off.
We need a music theory crash course and a music history crash course or at least a rock and roll history crash course.
There's a multi-part music theory course over on David Stewart's channel (a professional musician and conductor). No animations though.
Evolution of hip hop
Its cool the parallels you can draw between the vaudeville skits and actualites and everything on Vine. Because the vines were short and the original movies were short creators seemed to do the same type of performances.
My respect for Thomas Edison has diminished considerably after watching this.
LazyLlama yeah he's just a scummy business man
Thomas Edison wasn't the best role model. His rivalry with Tesla started when Edison tried to cheat Tesla out of a promised bonus. Then Edison invented the electric chair, making sure it used Tesla's alternating current so that consumers would be scared into going back to direct current. He also electrocuted animals to death so that people would view alternating current as dangerous.
@@foxymetroid wasn't it a feud with westinghouse at first ? and then tesla ?
I'm sure all of his invention invented by his employee
lol same. what a liar
3:18 I LOVE how you point out that moving pictures should not be recorded in portrait mode!!!
Thank you Crash Course my parents and I thought switching from public school to homeschool would hard. But with your help it's not as far as homework and studying.
I really love this new format and the "what we learned" section at the end!
I just love his personal commentary. It’s so fun to watch 😂
Fun fact, in the Netherlands, a cinema is still called a bioscoop.
Another fun fact - Bush did 7/11
+totalnastoka Wait, like the shop?
You can call it a shop, yeah.
In Denmark we call it a biograf. And a theater is a place for live stage performings exclusively. Not for films.
Wanted to say that as well haha
The alternate explanation of the train reaction makes sense. I tried to explain it to my brother once and realized how silly it was.
Me: It was so unfamiliar that they thought it was real and they were in danger
Him: Were they stupid?
My favorite thing is the way we went from black and white to color film. One lens goes to a beam splitter that is reflected through differently colored lenses. one is red, one is blue, and one is green, Then each of those filtered splits each goes to a separate film, and is developed separately, Then Rather than being finished as black and white, they are finished as white and tint, of red, green, and blue, and are layered together, resulting in color images. Later this would be done with different emulsions that develop with different specific frequencies of light, and in different colors. the first method I described is Technicolor, and the second is how Polaroids work. Of course now almost everything is digital and we just have grids of sensors that detect specific frequencies of light and cluster them together into pixels, which somehow just isn't as cool.
Something that I love about this series is that it has given made me more confident in my opinions of games. Film was once viewed as a shallow fad like video games often are. Someday though, I'm positive that the general public will have a much higher view of them.
One day they will
that last analogy, on point!
Thank you, it helped me make my Media studies assignment greatly!
This is turning into one of my favourite crash course series
So glad Craig is back!
this series is amazing i am hooked
love the show. I also love the bit when you compared it with the evolution of youtube.. Maybe there should be a crush course Internet or social networking
Goddamnit crashcourse! Why must I love these series?!
Love it! I've worked with film and these are so familiar!! Love it!!!
Killing it again man, think I'm falling in love with you Craig, even though you are the internet's in my heart you're not the internet's, in my heart there's lots of capillaries. You the real MVP
Check out his channel "Wheezy Waitor"
Omg my life is complete now, thank you kind youtube commentator, you're an outlier and that's what makes you special
Look into your hart!
Asher Wilkins your hart your hart your haaaaart
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING NOW
still no mention of Louis Le Prince. NEED UPDATING!
Your jingle is so powerful!
It's weird. Midway into the video I strongly recalled the smell of popcorn and the night air.
am i the only one that gets goosebumps when you hear the intro music?
that was a really cool analogy at the end
8:11 Watching from Peoria, IL right now.
Craig is so much fun!
This is saving my midterm grade, thank you thank you thank you
that transition falconpunch lol
thx for this awesomely ha bisky vid i love this way better then being in a classroom i just get to learn while i am half asleep in my bedroom
Great video.
Thank you
True fact: Thomas Edison did 9/11
Not really, but he gets all the credit.
Charles K. If It weren't about 9/11 that'd be pretty good
He died on 10/18
Hahaha
Wow.....
I love this series, it's teaching me fun stuff about something I only have a fleeting knowledge about! However, when the widest shot is shown of Craig, my eyes are constantly drawn to the left, and the 'Outta time' sign. It might just be me, but it's a kinda distracting shot.
Film is such a big subject, and can be categorised in so many ways. How many episodes do you think you'll be doing in total?
You're not kidding. We're doing 16 episodes of Film History, 15 episodes of Film Production, and 16-18 episodes of Film Criticism.

Best version of the CC theme.
Hey it's a great video I have doubt for the light source can we use lantern (without electricity)
ah, finally! I was already wondering where they stayed.
I was really missing this guy xD
How do you know so much about cinema 🎬?
Also just noticed some of the characters from the Rocky Horor Picture Show in the intro- Dr Frank-N-Furter and Magenta. 100 points to crash course!!!!!!!
My favorite Crash Course host so far. Reminds me a lot of VSauce
Could you explain chronophotographic gun more in depth? I would like to know how Marey developed images onto one plate. Thanks!
Wow! The tempo is perfect! The lecturer is so funny and bright) Who is he?
this is an awesome series!
i am working on a presentation about the beginning of the film history. what are videos of yours do you recommend?
You will probably never see this comment but notice that somehere in a little town in south of France youre video is use by an english teacher to introduce me and my classmate to origin of cinema By the way it was great Have
a nice day to people who will read that ^^
I wish I was taking film studies I feel like I'd enjoy it so much more than my current a levels :(
I was wondering if you were gonna talk about the L. Brothers
I reallyyyyu wish I could go back in time and show some marvel movie to scientists in the 40s just to get a reaction
The Internet's Craig and TV's Frank is my One True Pairing.
I LOVE these videos with Weezy! 😄 I'm having an amazing time learning about movies! Thank you, Crash Course!
I still love that final low BWAAAP in the intro. Those are far too common in trailers these days.
You should do something like the mystery document on CC USH and guess a famous movie quote but if you fail to guess the movie and character then there is a punishment. Anyways thank you very much for these videos!
cant wait for melies
as a student on his second year of a film studies degree, I find this interesting, helpful and insightful :)
As a critical thinker, philosopher and an attractive male, I gotta say - Bush did 7/11
omg wtf dawg, to quote elsa, let it gooooooooooooooooooooo. wtf dawg.
totalnastoka don't see what that has to do with anything 😂
max lundqvist I have lol 😂
I love this man.
For a Crash Course in the topic Literature/English, please could you make a video all about the following topics please
*An inspector Calls by J.B Priestley
*Mother Courage by Brecht
*The Playwright Brecht
*The Playwright Artuad
*Woyzeck
*A Christmas Carol
*The Handmaidens Tale
*Harry Potter-Why Is It A Success?
*The Hunger Games- What Do The Many Symbol's Mean?
*Jekyll and Hyde book
*Shakespeare Twelfth Night
*Shakespeare A Mid-Summer's Night Dream
*Shakespeare's The Tempest
It would really be helpful for school and upcoming exams.
Thank you :)
Try also talking about lost films
Where can i find transcript or PDF for this course??
can you do about photography?
i spent five year studying film in uni, and i became obsessed with scorsese, tarantino and film history in general when i was like 9. i hope you live up to my expectations. of course you will dumb things down for beginners, but other than that, i will be a stone cold killer when it comes to this series, hopefully it helps your production and stuff. im not doing it to be evil and a douche.
The more and more I hear about Edison the more I cant' stand him.
Why Peoria IL?
Stop commenting and watch the video!
Kaleem All I can do both.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand I'm very disappointed that the German Skladonowsky brothers's Bioscop only gets such a small mention when it was a huge step forward in film technology and they held the first commercial public screenings of Europe in Berlin one month before the brothers Lumière, spawning the world's first commercial film theater (the oldest continuously running movie theater "Pionier 1907" can still be found in former Germany, now Poland).
On the other hand, however, their invention was far inferior to the Lumière's Cinématographe and in the end they couldn't compete because of a lack of financial means and entrepreneurship to improve and market their Bioscop projector.
I guess around this time there were so many inventions by so many people and everyone wanted to be the first guy to have invented this awesome piece of technology that you can't really tell who really made the most important invention that spawned cinema as we know it today. Everyone somehow played an important role in the rise of movies and film theaters.
And it makes kinda sense that everyone is a little biased around that topic, so I can see why you would mention tons of "Americans" instead of all the other French, German, English and Scottish (yes, Dickson was a Scotsman after all) inventors of that time who made crucial contributions to the surge of the film industry at that time. But it's kinda nice to know how they all got inspired by each other to improve their inventions and to take the next step forward.
So in the end we should just be happy about that the movie camera and projector were invented and that they could all improve their technologies simultaneously without suing each other like crazy (like Samsung and Apple did e.g.).
Fun fact: The German word for movie theater (Kino) is directly derived from an abbreviation of the French Cinématographe (in Romanian a movie theater is still formally called "cinematograf") and the Dutch word "bioscoop" [and derived from Dutch: Indonesian (bioskop), Javanese (biyoskup), Sundanese (bioskop)], the Serbian word (Биоскоп) and the Croatian word (bioskop) for movie theater are all directly derived from the German Bioscop. I love how one can see how cultures influence each other just by looking at a word~
6:59 😂😂😂😂😂
La ventaja de ver las películas en México o en otro país de lengua diferente al inglés donde exhibieron Batman v Superman es que en las salas no había niños porque no pueden leer los subtítulos.
I find it hard to believe that the Lumiere Brothers actually developed film in their camera, as stated in the video. Developing film in the camera would have required pouring corrosive development chemicals into a camera body made of wood and filled with oiled gears made of metal. It's much more likely that the camera was used as a printer to expose developed negatives to unexposed film stock in order to create a positive print for projection. This was called an all-in-one camera, because it was used to take film., then it was used as a film printer by re-exposing the negative to make a positive print, and finally it was used to project film by attaching a separate light source. But, when it comes to developing the film, it's much more likely that this was carried out in the normal way, by using vats of chemicals in a dark room, not in the camera. I think the video is misleading, it should have said the camera could also be used as a film printer, not to develop the film.
Who remembers this story from “Hugo”?
> knit the world together.
Why do I feel like this is foreshadowing to Birth of a Nation and Triumph of the Will?
Georges Melies is next!!!!! :D
Is there a written summary of these videos?
The shade towards Edison...
I figured out the train thing from Hugo
When did movie houses move from films to digital formats? Was that developed in America ?
Lumiere Brothers-cinemtographe recorded footage and shown it on a projector, also lighter
Actual theaters with a theater and screen to show on, it was hyped up by the brothers too
Better image quality and longer (50 seconds)
Latham loop fed film better by protecting from vibrations and tension (7:08 - 7:21)
He talks about how great it is to show new sights to the audience through film prob not important
6:07 - 6:19
Actualités- snapshots of everyday life
he missed the perfect opportunity to say "but wait! there's more!"
Wait, was that a random Peoria, IL reference?
What about Louis Le Prince?
Anyone else liking the intro song besides me?
George Meilies next week?! A Trip to the Moon??
I just wanted to say that I'm loving Crash Course Film History! Film is a vital part of our culture and absolutely worthy of the Crash Course History treatment. Plus, more importantly, it gets you back to punching eagles.
...No really, I love Film History! I'm excited for the early days of silent film and Hollywood coming up in the next few episodes!
Oskar Messter was 'known' to messter up some ideas.
Last thing I read said Victoria tear catchers are really just perfume bottles.
Peoria does have some sweet cinemas. Not as good as some Minnesota ones though.
The twist: It was a clone all along!
I'm pretty sure the cinématographe couldn't develop films, they had to send out back to Lyon for development, which partly explains why they didn't win the films war in the US because they had to wait a few month to show pictures
omg internets craig i saw him on the internet
Um, I think anyone with an interest in film history knows about the Lumiere brothers.
Ok. I don't get the "Crash Course recommends you turn it to 11." Someone please explain!
"These go to eleven" is a reference to "This Is Spinal Tap", a mockumentary about a heavy metal band. They think they have a louder amplifier because the volume knob is marked from zero to eleven, instead of the usual zero to ten.
Ohh. I know that movie. I've never seen it though.
My favorite host.
His name is Graig
People made motion pictures of the Giza Pyramids and Roman ruins? Why? If I'm not mistaken, such artifacts are not known for their...you know...motion.
The pictures are in motion not the pyramid itself.
