Time for another video history lesson, film fans! 📽️

Picture this: Paris, December 28, 1895. The Grand Café is buzzing with excitement as the Lumière brothers prepare to change entertainment forever! Their invention? The incredible Cinématographe – a 3-in-1 machine that could film, print, AND project movies! 🎬

Their first public screening of "Arrival of a Train," which featured a train approaching a stop in France. It was filmed in the southern coastal town of La Ciotat, Bouches-du-Rhône. 🚂✨ Ouh là là!

The Lumière brothers didn't stop there! These film pioneers went on to open some of the world's first cinemas in 1896 AND developed the first practical color photography process in 1907.

From hand-cranked projectors to today's digital masterpieces, the industry come a long way and Joo Kno Media is stoked to be a part of it!

Another epic shoot day with Andy Bederman, this time at Capital One Arena! 🏀✨

When you step into an empty arena, you make magic happen - and that's exactly what we did! From courtside to the jumbotron, we turned the home of the Washington Wizards into our personal studio.

Swipe to see Andy's jump shot in action and catch a glimpse of Greenberg & Bederman, LLC lighting up the arena!

Should we tell Andy Bederman he might have missed his calling as a pro baller? 😉🎬

Ever wonder what the world's first film looked like? Well, here Joo go! 📽️

Way back in 1888 (yep, 136 years ago!), French inventor Louis Le Prince grabbed his camera and filmed four people - Harriet Hartley, Adolphe Le Prince, and Joseph & Sarah Whitley - strolling through a garden at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay, Leeds.

✨ Fun fact: The original film was just 1.66 seconds long with only 20 frames in black and white. Thanks to modern AI technology, we can now see this historic moment in restored, colorized glory!

Just weeks after capturing this groundbreaking moment, Le Prince patented his revolutionary camera in the UK, forever changing the course of visual storytelling. 🎥

Stay tuned for more fascinating chapters in film history! 🍿

Written by Josh Siegel, Joo Kno Executive Producer:

As a Washingtonian of 25 years, the White House has always been the iconic emblem of my hometown. It's not just the White House...it's the People's House.

So when the The White House Historical Association approached us, we were beyond honored to help tell their story and create momentum for the opening of their new visitors center and museum. The People's House: A White House Experience is a cutting-edge interactive facility focused on increasing access to the White House and opening its doors through preservation and education.

Bringing architectural renderings to life through the production of animated 3D models along with filming phases of construction and interviews with project leaders, we helped document the entire process so that WHHA could increase interest and investment in the project. Beginning in 2022, up until the People's House opening last month, Joo Kno has reveled in partnering with such a profound project and organization.

If you haven't been to the People's House yet, what are you waiting for? Visit today and experience the history and grandeur of this iconic American landmark firsthand!

📢 MEDIA NERD ALERT!

We love all things production so we're super excited to kick off our new series that dives into the ! 🎥✨

Let’s take a trip back to 1891, with Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope. This cool invention was one of the first ways people could watch moving pictures, setting the stage for the awesome world of film we know today!

This image from "Monkeyshines," the first motion film shot in the U.S., features Fred Ott, an Edison employee, singing “Up in a Balloon, Boys”. It’s amazing to think that this film was the stepping stone that led us to the incredible storytelling we get to produce today!

More major milestones in video history coming soon! How has film defined history for you?

This breathtaking performance of "Star Crossed Lovers," inspired by Shakespeare's timeless "Romeo & Juliet” and performed in American Sign Language, beautifully merges the genius of Duke Ellington—a DC native who cherished Shakespeare—with the power of visual storytelling.

Producing this captivating piece for Shakespeare Theatre Company reminds us of the importance of inclusivity in the arts. On this International Day of Sign Language, we celebrate how communication can transcend spoken language, conveying profound emotions and connections that resonate deeply with every audience member.
