The appearance of paper filmstrips on the market in 1888
yielded the final methodological development of Marey’s
visualization of movement. He substituted a roll of the paper
film for his glass plate and constructed a film-feeding
mechanism that stopped the film for an instant behind the lens
long enough for an image to be made, then pulled it onto a
roller. Now every time the lens was demasked by one of the slots
in the disk shutter an image would be made on a different and
ongoing part of the film.
It was this camera Edison borrowed for his Kinetoscope, and
the addition of a better film feeding mechanism to it allowed
the Lumière brothers to patent their cinematographe and project
the first motions pictures to a paying public in 1895.
