none Events in 1861 in animation. Events May 2: On May 2, 1861, while working near Paris, Henri Désiré du Mont filed French patent 49,520 for "a photographic device for reproduction of the successive phases of movement". It would transport 10 or 12 photographic plates, one by one, from a slotted frame, past the camera lens, into a lower receptacle area. A moving shutter was synchronized to ensure the plates were only exposed when they were in the right place.Zone Ray https://books.google.com/books?id=UXTAAgAAQBAJ&q=omniscope%20du%20mont&pg=PA28 Stereoscopic Cinema and the Origins of 3-D Film, 1838–1952 2014-02-03 University Press of Kentucky 978-0-8131-4589-1 enhttps://books.google.com/books?id=mgc_x5ph3sEC&q=kin%C3%A9tiscope&pg=PA33 Industry, Liberty, and a Vision: Wordsworth Donisthorpe's Kinesigraph Herbert Stephen 1998 The Projection Box 978-0-9523941-3-6 enMannoni, Laurent The Great Art of Light and Shadow (2000 translation by Crangle) Specific date unknown: In 1861 the American engineer Coleman Sellers II received US patent No. 35,317 for the kinematoscope, a device that exhibited "stereoscopic pictures as to make them represent objects in motion". In his application he stated: "This has frequently been done with plane pictures but has never been, with stereoscopic pictures". He used three sets of stereoscopic photographs in a sequence with some duplicates to regulate the flow of a simple repetitive motion, but also described a system for very large series of pictures of complicated motion.US31357.pdf https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pdfs/US31357.pdf June 14, 2021 docs.google.com enHomer Croy http://archive.org/details/howmotionpictur00croygoog How Motion Pictures are Made 1918 Harper Harvard University English In 1861 the Czech physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkyně used his version of the phenakistiscope to illustrate the beating of a heart.https://books.google.com/books?id=d9xDAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA4-PA62 Uebersicht der Arbeiten und Veränderungen im Jahre 1841 Overview of works and changes in the year 1841 62–63 German Breslau 1842http://www.cinematheque.fr/fr/catalogues/appareils/collection/phenakistiscope-disque-de-ap-94-374.html Phenakistiscope (disque de) AP-94-374 Phenakistiscope (disk) AP-94-374 French La Cinémathèque Française 20 July 2016 In 1861 Samuel Goodale patented a hand-turned stereoscope device which rapidly moved stereo images past a viewer, in a fashion similar to the later mutoscope.todayinsci.com Goodale patent docs In 1861 the Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell produced the first colour photograph, displayed by using three magic lantern projectors with different colour filters.S.
