Still to Movement in the History of Photography.

The French nation and an Englishman are the source of all cinematography. Revolving Self-Portrait by Felix Nadar, 1865, whose real name was Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910) was the first to combine still images to moving images. The brothers Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas and Louis Jean Lumière held their first private screening of projected motion pictures in 1895. Étienne-Jules Marey (1830–1904) was also influential pioneer of the history of cinema. He adopted and further developed animated photography into a separate field of chronophotography in the 1880s. Eadweard James Muybridge (1830-1904) who was born in England and moved to America as a young man is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-action photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures.
