	Movie studio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1893, Thomas Edison built the first movie studio in the USA when he constructed the Black Maria, a tarpaper-covered structure near his laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey, and asked circus, vaudeville and dramatic actors to perform for the camera.
		The first movie studio in the Hollywood area was Nestor Studios, which was opened in 1911 by Al Christie for David Horsley.
		With the end of "the Studios" and the continued incursion of television into the audience for film, more and more companies became simply management structures which put together artistic teams on a project-by-project basis, usually renting space from some of the surviving studios, which is still the norm today.

		Edison Studio’s Annabelle the Dancer, featuring music hall performer Annabelle Moore recreating her stage act “The Butterfly Dance,” was one of the first commercially projected motion pictures and was first exhibited at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia in mid-September 1885.
		Since her act used a projection of colored stereopticon slides as she danced with long silk draperies, Edison touched on the idea to have prints of the film hand painted frame by frame, in the same manner that some photographs and portraits were tinted at the time.
		At the time, Edison Studios would only strike approximately 40 prints of each of their productions, which would then be sent out for distribution.

	Marston - Three Edison Tenors
		Edison was both the inventor of the cylindrical phonograph in 1877 and also one of the most colorful characters related to its history.
		As is typical of Edison records of the period, the “orchestra” consisted of a string quartet, harp, and an occasional wind instrument, Edison preferring this soothing combination to whatever the composer may have intended.
		Edison felt, upon reviewing one of Bonci’s Fonotipia records, that he was a “good tenor, sweet voice—good range.” However he concluded Bonci’s “tremolo very considerable” and determined that he would be “valuable for advertising purposes” only.

	dOc DVD Review: Edison: The Invention of the Movies (1893-1912)
		Since Edison was even better at capitalizing on his inventions than he was at coming up with them, it is little surprise that the Thomas A. Edison Studios were a very influential producer of such movies early on.
		Over the first years of the 1910s, Edison began to catch up with Biograph's content to some extent, only to be surprised by the development of the feature film.
		The unique history of the Edison studios make it unusually suited for such an in-depth study, and Kino has done a fabulous job in telling the tale of the Edison studio's rise, decline and fall.

		The Edison studios were first based at the inventor's laboratory complex in Orange but later moved to East 21st Street in Manhattan and eventually to a large studio in the Bronx.
		There are also fascinating glimpses of turn-of-the-century popular culture, thanks to the various vaudeville and music hall performers who made the trip to Edison's studios: serpentine dancers, contortionists, even the sharpshooter Annie Oakley, seen picking off a few glass balls for the benefit of Edison's camera.
		"The Great Train Robbery" is presented in "Edison: The Invention of the Movies" as a transfer from a first-generation hand-tinted 35-millimeter print held by the Museum of Modern Art, and it should be a revelation to those who have encountered this film only as a dusty, badly duplicated antique.

		A special printer would be needed, and the Commission turned to D. Karl Malkames, professional motion picture cameraman and son of the legendary Don Malkames.
		The 1912 Edison Home Kinetoscope was a hand-cranked, arc-lamp motion picture projector designed and built in Thomas Alva Edison's renowned laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey, "to bring movies into the home"- a forerunner of today's home video.

	History Channel Classroom: Thomas Edison, The Motion Picture
		Wildly famous after inventing the phonograph and electric light, Thomas Alva Edison-along with his brilliant assistant William Dickson-set his sights on another hotly contested prize: a "phonograph" that would capture and play back moving images.
		The eventual result-the kinetoscope-was the forerunner of modern movies, and another triumph for the "Wizard of Menlo Park." But while Edison was the driving force behind the motion picture, it took a great collaborative effort to create the technology.
		Rare early films from the Edison Studios, new research and archival photographs bring this extraordinary story to life.

		The MPPC was a trust of all the major film companies (Edison, Biograph, Vitagraph, Essanay, Selig, Lubin, Kalem, American Star, American Pathé), the leading distributor (George Kleine) and the biggest supplier of raw film, Eastman Kodak.
		At the time of the formation of the MPPC, Thomas Edison owned most of the major patents relating to motion pictures, especially that for raw film.
		Many filmmakers responded by moving their operations to Hollywood, whose distance from Edison's home base of New Jersey made it more difficult for the MPPC to enforce its patents.
