Development in animation
Joseph Plateau (phenakitoscope) (1801-1883)
He was the first person to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image. To do this he used counter rotating disks with repeating drawn images in small increments of motion on one and regularly spaced slits in the other. He called this device of 1832 the phenakistoscope.
William Horner (zoetrope) (1844-1918)
A French science teacher, responsible for the first projected animated cartoon films. Reynaud created the Praxinoscope in 1877 and the Théâtre Optique in December 1888
Emile Reynaud (praxinoscope) (1844-1918)
He was a French science teacher, responsible for the first projected animated cartoon films. Reynaud created the Praxinoscope in 1877 and theThéâtre Optique in December 1888, and on 28 October 1892 he projected the first animated film in public, Pauvre Pierrot, at the Musée Grévin in Paris. This film is also notable as the first known instance of film perforations being used.

Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904)
He was an English photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion and in motion-picture projection. He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name. He immigrated to the United States as a young man but remained obscure until 1868, when his large photographs of Yosemite Valley, California, made him world famous. Muybridge 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 hiszoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion picture that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.
Edison (Kinetoscope) (1847-1931)
was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles ofmass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Lumiere brothers (Aguste 1862-1954) (Louis 1864-1948)
The Lumiere brothers were the earliest filmmakers in history, they began creating moving pictures in 1892 and on 19 March 1895 the first footage ever to be recorded using it was recorded. This film shows workers leaving the Lumiere factory.

George Pal (1908-1980)
He was a Hungarian-born American animator and film producer, principally associated with the science fiction genre. He graduated from the Budapest Academy of Arts in 1928 (aged 20). From 1928 to 1931, he made films for Hunnia Films of Budapest, Hungary. He is best remembered as the producer of several science fiction and fantasy films in the 1950s and 1960s, four of which were collaborations with director Byron Haskin including The War of the Worlds (1953). He himself directed Tom Thumb (1958), The Time Machine (1960) and The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962).
