Script is down below.

Hello everyone, I did not see you there.

I was just getting ready for the... oh it's time to start the show already.

Ok todays lesson is on the evolution of camera movement.

Now camera movement is such a big topic, we could cover camera angles shots, moving the camera it's self and etc...etc...

So at random we should chose from this hat to see what we are going to cover. Let's see... Today we are going to cover... the gear/tools/equipment that we use to make camera movement and where it started.

Let's start in the beginning of film then; in the early days of the motion pictures the camera just sat still, it did not move around at all. Simply was just too heavy and bulky.

One man named Marie Georges Jean Melies
A French magician used special effects to create the
Illusion of camera movement in his films.

A photograph from 1899 (right) of a dressed, open-air set on the roof of the Lubin Studio located at 912 Arch Street in Philadelphia. The camera is seen in the foreground.

Not to forget that, we didn't really need movement because the fact that we had a picture that could move was pretty awesome in it's self.

Now these cameras needed a lot of light to get an image burned in to the film. So a controllable environment to film would be great. Kind of like a studio.

Well

The first studio was in 1893 Edison's Black Maria; the whole studio moved on a turntable with an opening at the top to let in light from the sun, as the day went on the studio would turn to let in the sunlight.

Yet still the camera just sat still, didn't go anywhere.

Then jumping in to 1896

The Lumiere Bros. Accidentally invented the first camera movement by mounting a camera to a train leaving Jerusalem. They also created anther by filming out upon the Trocadéro in Paris going up a lift on the Eiffel Tower. We know these shots to be call as a travelling shot and a crane shot.

Now when the Talkies came about, the camera where so loud that we had to put those things in a box to try to mute the sound they made. Now this was a set back cause now we can't move the cameras again, but later in the late 1920 more cinematographers used cranes and dollies but not many cause it was expensive.

In 1945 Chapman Studio Equipment began its operation and in 1965 teamed up with Leonard Studio Equipment. Chapman/Leonard Inc. manufactured and rented camera support equipment for motion picture and television use.

At the end of the 1950s to 1960s the French brought handheld cameras that could bring the audience to first person.

French ethnographer Jean Rouch, was the first to shoot a film with this hand held camera, Moi Un Noir, in 1958. Rouch, considered a pioneer, triggered this visual revolution by favoring a small amateur camera - a 16mm against the big bulky professional camera in use at the time to shoot anything professional.


Handheld cameras can be very shaky, we all know this... but in 1970 Garrett Brown created the Steadicam with was to be able to take shots that could be as smooth as the movement of dolly but without the need to use a track.

Now fast forward to now days we have all types of ways we move the camera around and create amazing cinematography. Like in the movie twister and inception.

Also in the... oh would you look at that, we are out of time for today. Time so does fly thank you all for watching, credits are found in the description. Give this video a Like and subscribe it helps out the channel. Thank you, and have a good rest of your day.
