Frisch will take attendees back to the 19th century when motion pictures were invented and turned into a business. He will show some of the very first motion pictures ever made, dating from the 1870s.
This seminar is free and open to the public.
Learn about Eadweard Muybridge, a landscape photographer and rogue who created the first moving pictures to settle a $25 bet by then-California governor and horse breeder Leland Stanford.
With Frisch as a guide, explore Thomas Edison’s early motion picture machines and movies along with those of other moving-picture pioneers. Frisch will also delve into the realm of special effects and describe how effects were achieved in the days before computer-generated imagery.
