for that was the day auguste lumiere was born in a small town in france. together with his younger brother louis, auguste lumiere improved on thomas edison's early projector making it possible for more than one person at a time to watch a movie. their first exhibition in late december 1895 featured ten short films, beginning with a shot of workers leaving the lumiere factory, cutting edge cinema for its time, believe it or not. in 1897 they startled audiences with this sequence of a train arriving at a station. realistic enough that some easily panicked viewers reportedly headed for the exits. more shocking still that year was this sequence of a dancing skeleton. scary stuff, no bones about it. other films would follow, though in 1910 auguste lumiere left the movie business and devoted the rest of his life to medical research. he died in 1954 at the age of 91, but his early film making efforts are still remembered, by this star on the hollywood walk of game. >>game.. coming up. >> it is works of art you don't see anywhere else and i am real proud of that.
