Film as we know it in America was started by Thomas Edison and company over in New Jersey. While they were not the first to experiment with motion picture, they were among the first to do so in America. At first, Edison did not really know what to do with motion pictures. For instance, the first major achievement in motion pictures was capturing the motion of a man sneezing. It was not for another couple years until they began realizing that stories could be told and recreated through the technology of motion picture. I am linking a great site about Edison and his team and more information on their film making, and some of my upcoming blog posts will have embedded video clips of some of the early motion pictures.
