The Lumiere Brothers contributed their invention of the Cinematograph to the development of cinema, which allowed film to be recorded, developed, and projected onto screens for audiences. Before the Cinematograph, the Lumiere Brothers ran Europe's largest photographic factory, which gave them the knowledge necessary to design a new mechanism for motion pictures. Their invention was unique and revolutionary, as it was operated by a hand crank that ensured the machine was quieter and the images moved more fluidly across the screen. The Cinematograph was different than any of Edison's inventions because his Kinetescope could only be viewed by one person at a time, and it was to bulky to be taken outside the studio to film. With their invention, the Lumiere Brothers were able to show their films to rooms full of people, as well as record footage of local events, and train other camera operators on how to use the Cinematograph to capture images from all over the world.
