Film Cinema advertising: the art of illusion

Before I was born cinema as we know it today, tried numerous gadgets more or less rudimentary play motion pictures. The effect of moving figures must receive move-and even frightening, to the privileged first peeked her eye freak puzzled that magic.

One of these early devices was the zoetrope . Invented in 1834 by William George Horner, was composed of a hollow cylinder with a cut, placed on an axis to provide mobility. On the surface of the cylinder is a series of equally spaced slots, and turning, if you look through the slots, is a picture in motion.

But if we go back to ancient times we can see in the darkroom the grandfather of cinema. In 1544 there was an eclips and solar by a dark chamber.

But does not move, the magic of cinema makes it possible movement, life.
