Illustration of the Choreutoscope The Choreutoscope is the first pre-cinema device which employed the same system as the Cinematograph . It was the first projection device to use an intermittent movement, which became the basis of all cine cameras and projectors. It was formed by a sheet of glass on which different drawings were made, and the sheet was mounted on a  Maltese cross mechanism, thanks to which the image would move suddenly. The most common drawing was the 'dancing skeleton' in which six sequential images of a skeleton were animated in the viewing pane. History The Choreutoscope was invented by Lionel Smith Beale in 1866. Beale used it for demonstrations at the Royal Politechnic . However, Baele was not the only one to create a Choreutoscope, a few years later William C.Huges created his own Choreutoscope in 1884, and B .Brown created a similar machine to it the year 1896.
