	Adventures in CyberSound: Lumière, Auguste et Louis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		His destined to be famous sons Auguste and Louis were both born at Besancon (1862 and 1864) but it was in Lyon, where the family moved in 1870, that their collective fame and fortune rose.
		Louis worked on the problem of commercially satisfactory development of film; at 18 he had succeeded so well that with his father's financial aid he opened a factory for producing photographic plates, which gained immediate success.
		The invention was patented on February 13 1895, and a programme of short films directed and photographed by Louis was first unveiled to the general public on 28 December 1895 - a date that many historians claim to be the birthdate of the cinema as we know it.

		Louis was the more artistically minded of the two brothers — it was he who photographed and directed the Lumières’ first films.
		Auguste was more a scientist, in the traditional sense of the word, but also a very competent technician.

	Who's Who of Victorian Cinema
		Although Auguste gave credit to Louis, the successful machine was patented in France on 13 February 1895 in the name of both brothers, in common with their other inventions.
		Louis ordered twenty five Cinématographes from engineer Jules Carpentier, followed by an order for a further 200, and within weeks agents took them throughout Europe, America, and within months all over the world, shooting scenes and giving filmshows.

		However, their film sequence of a train pulling into the station reportedly had audiences screaming and ducking for cover as they believed that the train itself was about to plow into the theater.
		Born in the Haute-Saone District in 1862 and 1864, with Auguste being the elder, the Lumiere family eventually settled in Lyon.

		In 1895, two brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, redefined the motion picture camera, building the elegant "cinematographe".
		With this increased mobility, the Lumiere brothers shot over 1400 films in their life, most of which were "actualities", predecessors to the modern documentary.
		The simplicity of the camera's design is enduring; recently, 40 modern filmakers took up a refabricated version to film their own short clips.

		Auguste and Louis Lumière Stills from some of their movies of 1895 - 1896
		The body of their work represents captured moments of real life, and is distinctly different from other early film pioneers such as Thomas Edison and George Méliès who immediately saw film's ability to change reality.
		Perhaps this is why Louis Lumière saw no future in the medium - he expected the novelty of watching images on a screen that could be seen just as easily by walking outside and opening one's eyes to wear off as time progressed.

	Images - The Lumiere Brothers' First Films
		Antoine Lumière (the father of Auguste and Louis) considered the potential of motion pictures when he watched a demonstration of Edison's Kinetoscope in Paris.
		Louis Lumière was an experienced photographer and he brought a fine sense of composition to his work with the motion picture camera.
		In later years, he claimed that the films were made to simply "reproduce life." And many critics have pointed to these films as part of a realistic tradition--in contrast to the fantastic works of Georges Melies.
