The zoopraxiscope rotated images on a disc very, quickly so that figures appeared to be moving. Muybridge’s most famous zoopraxiscope film, featured a horse Tunning in one direction. Soon, movies were everywhere, Filmmakers had, not figured out how to add sound yet, but their silent movies were big hits with the public., Audience members often enjoyed live musical accompaniment or commentary from film, hosts. The popularity of movies prompted some big changes from even more inventors and, filmmakers. Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) was a short film that featured several, chalkboard characters coming to life. By 1923, movie makers figured out how to add sound to, films. In less than a decade, almost every film produced was a “talkic”. Filmmakers still had, one more hurdle to jump in their quest to make movies move closer to reality: most movies, were still completely filmed in black-and-white, While carly experiments with colour and, film had existed since the late 19th century, it was not until] Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s The, Wizard of Oz that colour motion pictures became wildly popular that colour film was taken, seriously.
