Making movies 
For centuries, people such as Leonardo da Vinci dreamed ( 84) about 
“photographing” objects in motion. Finally, (85) in the twentieth century, 
inventors succeeded ( 86) in developing a movie camera. 
Leland Stanford was one of the first people t o experiment (87) with 
movement and pictures. Because he wanted to study the motion ( 88) of a 
running horse, Stanford asked a friend to take series (89) of photographs 
of one. He hoped to find out if the horse ever managed to have all four 
feet off the ground (90) at the same time. To prove this new theories is 
often difficult, and Stanford’s project wasn’t easy to do. His photographer 
needed to use twenty -four cameras set close (91) to each other to take 
pictures one (92) after the other. After developing the pictures, he was 
able to report that a running horse did not, ( 93) in fact, touch the ground 
at all times. 
Later, the inventor Thomas Edison asked Standford to show him the 
pictures and to introduce him (94) to the photographer. During this 
meeting, Edison began to develop his ideas (95) for the first picture 
camera. It’s wasn’t difficult to interest others in Edison’s work. Soon, 
many kinds of cameras were invented, and within twenty years, 
filmmaking was a major industry.
