Before Muybridge's 1878 work, photo sequences were not recorded in real-time because light-sensitive emulsions needed a long exposure time. The sequences were basically made as time-lapse recordings. It is possible that people at the time actually viewed such photographs come to life with a phénakisticope or zoetrope (this certainly happened with Muybridge's work).
* '''[[1826]]''' – ''[[View from the Window at Le Gras]]'', [[Nicéphore Niépce]] takes the oldest known extant photograph.
* '''[[1833]]''' – Since 1833 onwards, 'animated films' or rather animated effects began to be made with the use of [[phenakistiscope|phénakisticopes]], [[zoetrope]]s, and [[praxinoscope]]s.
* '''[[1865]]''' – ''Revolving'', self-portrait by [[French people|French]] photographer [[Nadar]]. Around 1865 he produced this series of self-portraits consisting of 12 [[frame (film)|frame]]s showing different angles of him sitting still in a chair. Except for a smile in 1 frame, not even a fold in his jacket or a single hair seems to change between the different angles. The portrait could be regarded as a predecessor to the [[chronophotography]] which Marey and Muybridge started to experiment with more than 10 years later. As the sequence revolves around space rather than time it is even more related to the [[bullet time|bullet-time effect]] popularized by ''[[The Matrix]]'' about 135 years later. There is no clue if more than one camera was used in the shoot, but it is certainly well-executed.

* '''[[1874]]''' – ''[[Passage de Vénus]]'', first precedent of a film; On December 9, 1874, French astronomer [[Pierre Janssen]] and [[Brazilians|Brazilian]] engineer [[Francisco Antônio de Almeida]] using Janssen's '[[photographic revolver]]' photograph the [[1874 transit of Venus|transit of the planet Venus across the Sun]]. They were purportedly taken in [[Japan]]. It is the oldest film on [[IMDb]].
* '''[[1878]]''' –
** ''[[The Horse in Motion]];'' [[British people|British]] photographer [[Eadweard Muybridge]] took a series of "automatic electro-photographs" depicting the movement of a horse. He shot the photographs in June 1878. An additional card reprinted the single image of the horse "Occident" trotting at high speed, which had previously been published by Muybridge in 1877. The most famous of these electro-photographs is "Sallie Gardner" taken on June 19, 1878. Railroad tycoon [[Leland Stanford]] hired Muybridge to settle the questions of whether a galloping horse ever has all four of its feet off the ground. Muybridge's photos showed the horse with all four feet off the ground. He went on a lecture tour showing his photographs on a moving-image device he called the [[zoopraxiscope]].
** ''Le singe musicien'', first animated movie using the [[praxinoscope]]
