In the documentary, Origins of the Motion Picture (1955), the film opens up, with a title card saying, "The United States Army Presents", with the copyright of 1956. Then, another card says, "The United States Navy Presents". The film also has support from the George Eastman Company and the Edison Foundation. I was able to view Origins of the Motion Picture (1955), on YouTube. The best part about this film, is knowing it was made in the mid-1950s, so it chronicles, what happened during the birth of cinema, with a perspective, only 55-60 years old. It felt like the source material and the facts, were closer to the time-periods explored. It covers a long history, beginning with the cave-paintings and the film, brings us to the birth of the motion picture industry in the late 1800s. Origins of the Motion Picture (1955), utilizes the great documentary style seen in the old Movie-tone News reels or from the folks at the Mouse House. Enjoy this exploration of film. It is quite interesting and full of information.
