From the time the Lumière brothers started experimenting at capturing and storing everyday realities in moving frames to the cinema of the 21st century, we have traveled through decades of advancement. This had been made possible by early pioneers who realized the potential of cinema at such a time, and with careful observation and experimentation, invented new features and techniques that enriched the cinematic eye.
If we try to contrast today's advanced cinematic techniques with the creative outputs of previous decades, it may seem dated and hyped, but without those initial inventions, we wouldn't have gone anywhere. They literally created magic with their creativity with such limited resources, and this article wants to celebrate those achievements. The Lumière brothers underestimated the potential of cinema with the statement, "The cinema is an invention without any future." Filmmaker or not, these works are necessary viewing for every film lover.
