Phantoscope
On September 25, 1895, Jenkins and Armat began the presentation of their completed Phantoscopes at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia.Jenkins would have shot the presented film of Annabelle's butterfly dance in the backyard of his Washington home and had each frame colorized.After much more research, it seemed that the first successful Phantoscope projection had been the September 1895 screening in collaboration with Thomas Armat, who seems to have been the one to come up with the crucial idea of intermittent film transport.[5] Jenkins continued improving the projector and created motion picture cameras that were eventually used for broadcasting to home receivers by radio waves, or what we know today as, television.[citation needed] The Franklin Institute later awarded a gold medal to Jenkins for his invention as the world's first practical movie projector.
