you learn something new everyday, or at least i do. when i sat down to do some research on the early history of film animation, i made the perplexing discovery that the first instance of public film projection was not held by the lumiere brothers in paris on december 28, 1895 as is so commonly stated. rather, one charles - émile reynaud threw open the doors of the musée grévin in paris and exhibited three animations on october 28, 1892, including the surviving pauvre pierrot. that’s a 3 year beating to the punch .
then reynaud made a leap, creating a larger version of the praxinoscope in 1888 that was capable of projecting images on a screen, a device he called the théâtre optique. on december 28, 1895, reynaud presented pantomimes lumineuses, a programme of three animations – pauvre pierrot, un bon bock, and le clown et ses chiens. each of these animations were made of 500 to 600 individually painted images and ran about 15 minutes in length. thought the lumière brothers would outshine the programme just a few years later, the show remained in the musée grévin until 1900. estimates reckon that roughly 500, 000 people saw it during that run .

charles - émile reynaud was a science teacher and spent a lot of time on the mechanics of capturing motion on film and addressing the question of what to do with it once it was there. this was a period of fast and furious development of motion picture technology, with a new this - o - graph and the next whatsit - scope appearing every 5 minutes. in 1877, reynaud created the praxinoscope, predating both edison’s kinetoscope and the lumière brothers’ cinematograph. the praxinoscope itself was a modification of the zoetrope and phenakistoscope, combining the cylindrical design of the former with the viewing mirror of the latter .
in 1878 reynaud improved the design, creating the praxinoscope theatre. this device included a glass viewing screen which allowed the moving image to be superimposed over a changeable background, the first teetering steps toward real animation. reynaud continued to tinker with the design and in 1880 created the first projection version, the projection praxinoscope used a lantern to project the moving images onto a small screen, allowing a larger audience to view it. however, the projection praxinoscope was limited to only 12 images .
like quite a few early film pioneers, reynaud met a tragic end. circa 1910, he was just crushed by the introduction of the cinematograph. the public abandoned his théatre optique shows. broke and depressed, he reportedly tossed most of his work and his equipment in the seine. he entered a hospice on march 29 1917 and died less than a year later on january 9, 1918 .

charles - emile reynaud (1844 – 1918) was a frenchman, who developed a technical understanding of visual science as photographer’s apprentice .
in 1877, he developed the praxinoscope – the successor to the zoetrope. it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder. the praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors, placed so that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned. someone looking in the mirrors would therefore see a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, with a brighter and less distorted picture than the zoetrope offered, as with the zoetrop one would have to peep through the spinning slits .
in 1888, reynaud demonstrated the device he called theatre optique to a small audience, by showing his own, hand painted film called ‘un bon bock (a good beer). operating the optique was considered a complex task, which in turn dissuaded potential buyers. in 1982, reynaud settled on a contract with the grevin wax museum in paris, which would see him perform daily screenings, produce regular new films and give away the exclusive rights for his new machine. in 1900, he closed his theatre optique, and sunk into depression due to the advancement in technology at the time (lumiere brothers). he destroyed his machines, and threw his hand painted shorts into the river seine, he died in poverty in 1918 .
