== Big Screen to the Small Screen ==
Ok, so in todays lecture we endured a lengthy journey into the, oh so important, world of cinema...
Born, Cinema (Cin-ema) in 1895... the potential for this new media was seemingly endless.
An Aussie picture on Ned Kelly followed closely behind its birth.. a 60 - 70 min long journey or guns.. big metal armour stuff... and other important shit.
Europe thought they were pretty savvy, along with the US, joining in on the action around 1911.
1927 - saw the first 'Talkie' (picture with synced sound track) - the jazz singer
1929 - first colour film
1933 - first drive-in theatre
1937 - first full length 'Blockbuster film' - yewwwww, go snow white ;-)
1939 - TV's in New York track fairs.
1952 - First 3D film
1955 - Movies released on TV (its all about the mulla $$.. it was more beneficial for movie makers financially to do this.. so there ya go.. win-win ?)
1959 - 'Percepto' Vision.. 'Smello-vision' (Aromarama).. aromatic FTW by the way.
1963 - AAPEX VCR's for the regular folk.. you know.. 30,000 dollar units.. cheap aye?
- Multiplex theatres
1970 - Acceptance ... of smaller screens and TV's
- IMAX debut
1972 - Pay TV
1986 - First animated short film
1997 - First DVD
