Wie hängen sie zusammen

Whether it’s a human hand or a motor, it’s simply the energy needed to set the film reel in motion. However, when it comes to the mechanism of motion itself, there isn’t a significant difference between the projector in the NaFilM museum and the original cinematograph. The main secret lies in the “step-by-step movement” of the film strip, which is necessary for the perfect illusion of motion. The Lumières ingeniously designed this mechanism, and it was later adapted to be gentler on the film strip.
