Auguste and Louis Lumière were two French brothers that were very influential in the development in film and photography. Their father owned a buisines that sold and munufactored photography equipment, so they were raised in a technological environment which aided their interest in such subjects. The Lumière brothers created many short films in their time and are even credited with the first public film screening in 1895.
In order to screen their films, the Lumière brothers invented a machine called the Cinematograph. This device was developed based off of the principles of the kinetoscope, however the Lumière brothers strived to create a device without the flaws of the kinetoscope and with better resolution images. The Cinematograph became very popular across the world, because it was very light (it weighed only 16 LBS) and doubled as a motion camera and film projector. It was a very efficient invention.
