I find it hard to believe that the Lumiere Brothers actually developed film in their camera, as stated in the video. Developing film in the camera would have required pouring corrosive development chemicals into a camera body made of wood and filled with oiled gears made of metal. It's much more likely that the camera was used as a printer to expose developed negatives to unexposed film stock in order to create a positive print for projection. This was called an all-in-one camera, because it was used to take film, then it was used as a film printer by re-exposing the negative to make a positive print, and finally it was used to project film by attaching a separate light source. But, when it comes to developing the film, it's much more likely that this was carried out in the normal way, by using vats of chemicals in a dark room, not in the camera. I think the video is misleading, it should have said the camera could also be used as a film printer, not to develop the film.

So far this series has been really american biased. The early history of cinema is more complex and involve people of several countries. U basically gave a large amount of credit to Edison and scratched everybody else. Fun and easy going videos, but they cant be taken as a serious guide to movie history
