Initially candles and oil lamps were used, but other light sources, such as the argand lamp and limelight were usually adopted soon after their introduction. Simple mechanics to have the painted images moving were probably implemented since Christiaan Huygens introduced the apparatus around 1659. In its most common setup it had a concave mirror behind a light source to help direct as much light as possible through a painted glass picture slide and a lens, out of the lantern onto a screen. The main precursor to the movie projector was the magic lantern. Predecessors Simulation of a spinning zoopraxiscope An early projector and seats from a movie theater ![]() Many projectors are specific to a particular film gauge and not all movie projectors are film projectors since the use of film is required. Modern movie projectors are specially built video projectors (see also digital cinema). Most of the optical and mechanical elements, except for the illumination and sound devices, are present in movie cameras. 35 mm movie projector in operation Bill Hammack explains how a film projector works.Ī movie projector is an opto- mechanical device for displaying motion picture film by projecting it onto a screen.
