Next time you look at LA's famous "Hollywood" sign, you can thank Thomas Edison!
Edison-owned Motion Picture Patents Company dominated the movie industry way before anyone even heard of Hollywood. In this video, we'll show you how Edison's monopolistic practices forced the then aspiring moviemakers to migrate from the East Coast to LA, where land was cheap (and Mexico was nearby)!

Stealing others' patents you mean

I love how they try to save his face
Patenting is also stealing, from the entire humanity. Actually, private property is just stealing and we’ll eventually switch to a more equal way of organizing ourself.

Bad man

He also helped create General Electric too!

Wait, he's the same person?! Woah.
Why are you always in the comments?

I am learning about the creation of Classical Hollywood Cinema and the studio system of the early 1900's to the 60's, and I was having a hard time understanding the bridge between the MPPC and the development of the major motion picture studios and their monopoly. This video helped me out a lot! Thank you!
As often as Edison comes up in the usual Edison vs Tesla talks, this has never been mentioned. Very interesting, cool video!

Great video! Loved the editing..btw what software do u use to make these type of videos? It would be helpful..
Another great reason to hate Edison

You watch this video because of edison
True!
Great video! The impact of Edison on American history can never be understated.
I understand that the first World War 1 impacted film production in Europe but are their any other reasons European feature length films were not able to compete with Hollywood in the United States after the war?
Europe produced some fine film makers during the 1920s such as Fritz Lang.
I always wonder what Europe would look like if the world wars never happened.
No war = No V2 = No space invasion
No war = No volkswagen + No Porsche + No BMW...
No war = No Fanta
No war = No Adidas

@@wakeup-9335 Porsche BMW and Adidas would exist
@@wakeup-9335 Dumbest argument I have heard. Technological innovation happens without war, its just that the inventions would likely come at different times. The man behind the V2 and other rocket enthusiasts began working on it before the war.

Ah, 3:39 just at the right side of the hat man , you can see Felix
Edison was actually messed up to be honest. He opposed everything and everyone using the most unfair tactics. I’m glad he lost😄; so we could enjoy good movies and alternating current.
Thomas Edison, the real SOB of all times.
He was a big supporter of the electric chair 🪑 using dogs and cats to show it worked…!evil sob 🫥
Harvey Henderson Wilcox owned a ranch west of the city of los angeles, which his wife Daeida named hollywood, and that they founded together in 1887. Hollywood become the center of the movie industry of the United States in the early 1910s.

Nice to know that Paris was the center of the movie industry in the begining. I don't think they will ever regain that position with Hollywood being number 1 and Bollywood number 2. Thomas Edison East coast movie monopoly help create Hollywood.
BC, would you please make a video about the Dell computer corporation? I’d like to learn the history of Dell because it seems to be the most popular Windows PC used commercially. I can’t remember working anywhere that wasn’t using Dell computers for the business. How did Dell get so big and popular?
Video, please! 😃
thank you
First cat video in history, that's f awesome..!
FELIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:40 bottom right!
By January 1879, at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, Edison had built his first high resistance, incandescent electric light. It worked by passing electricity through a thin platinum filament in the glass vacuum bulb, which delayed the filament from melting. Still, the lamp only burned for a few short hours.
What about the old Dutch aircraft company called "Fokker"? I think that would be a interesting video

Hollywood, the undisputed capital of the movie industry"
Atlanta would like a word. Huge amounts of money and productions from big studios like Marvel/Disney has helped explode the industry in Atlanta. I think Hollywood has already been de-throned in terms of total production budgets/revenues.

Ahh ok. I always thought LA became the center of the filming industry because of the natural light conditions in that part of the country.

No. Edison forming the Trust did not "create Hollywood". Vitagraph was part of the MPCC and they had a studio in Santa Monica in 1911 so it would make no sense for non-MPCC studios to "run away from Edison" by setting up shop 5 miles away in Hollywood. There was film production in Fort Lee NJ (1900+), Jacksonville FL (1908), Santa Monica (1911) and many other US cities. It finally consolidated near Sunset and Gower starting in 1911 because 1) the train to NY was easy to get to and brought everything you needed, 2) Westerns were popular and Florida/NJ don't look western, 3) Los Angeles was much cheaper than Florida, and 4) existing studios from the NY area quickly consolidated production to as few locations as possible. You need talent, film stock and gear and Los Angeles became the place outside of NY where you could get all of those. Once it reached critical mass it grew and it didn't make $$$ sense to shoot anywhere else until the mid-1970s or so.
Universal Pictures began in Chicago. Paramount in NYC and Fox in Fort Lee, NJ -- again not hiding from Edison/Trust. Production moved to L.A. but most of the money men stayed in the East.
You could defy Edison and the Trust but you could not hide or escape from them. There is little evidence that anyone expected to hide from Edison.
I agree he did not create holly
Thomas Edison also founded GE.
And GE has been owned Universal Studios also!
Thomas Edison was a monster.
whats the difference between a nickelodeon and a cinema?
If you ever go to Disneyland/Disneyworld, you can see what a Nickelodeon was like. The best way to describe it is like an arcade, except instead of video games, the machines are basically little self-contained movie projectors. You would insert some money into the machine and watch a mini-movie/short. Basically it was the original UA-cam...lots of small clips!
@@cylontoaster7660 thank you for the answer!
Hallywood !!!!!!
This video makes Thomas Edison look like a villain lol
jews
Too short :(
Tomorrow, Feb 11 is his birthday..
I've been to the Edison Ford Museum in Fort Myers, FL back in July 2015. I am also an inventor with patents issued to me.
A French guy invented it then he disappeared and his family weren't allowed to patent the camera for 7 years. By then Edison patened his camera.
No

Edison or Ford or Disney
@5:40 that man thicc
Patent system should be abolished. All should be given open hand today.
Anime Catgirl: 3:40

Edison just like Rockefeller or Carnegie were businessmen with questionable ethics in today's standards but who nevertheless built our modern world
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
It annoys me every time he has Hallywood!
How to make videos like you
*Edison - the patent man*
Fun fact Thomas was a mexican-american.
I hate Hollywood
Video about how google accidentally created porn 🤑🤜🏿
There is Mexican ppl that claim he was Mexican.
No it was Tesla!
No matter how great ppl describe Thomas Edison, I cannot accept what he done to Nikola Tesla.
Edison is a jerk!!!
Thomas" The thief" edision.
"Inventing is 10% inspiration (from Tesla), 90% litigation." -TA Edison
Did he also accidentally steal patent ideas?
once again copyright law ruins creative endeavors. or maybe this was the first time. either way copyright law ruins everything.
only 7 minutes? really?

Hollywood cheap land? Lol not anymore.
Tired of greedy millionaires trying to prevent innovation.
well, what are you gonna do? form a rebel army which consists exterminating greedy rich elites just to force innovation advance in the light of speed? I don't think so...
this video is a real prove why you should become Thomas Edison, and not Nikola Tesla
even Elon Musk himself admire Thomas Edison, Tesla name is just because of the engine of the car nothing more
please dude, look at reality, Nikola Tesla is just a lonely poor old man who died alone his apartment room,
he's seriously trying to build a tower for ambitious project and it was a failure, while Edison *accidentally* build Hollywood
HE STOLE THE PATENT
No offense to anyone who idolizes Edison but Tesla was still a much better and greater genius. In fact anyone who still thinks Edison was better than Tesla clearly needs a lobotomy because they clearly have something badly wrong with their brain. Most of the love for Edison and hate for Tesla stems from the fact that Edison was an American and Tesla was a foreigner from Eastern Europe. That's just xenophobia and blind nationalism at it's worst. I stand by my support for Tesla regardless of what anyone else says. So anybody who has a problem with this comment of mine feel free to leave hateful trolling replies. You'll just be wasting your time because you will NEVER change my mind. God bless Nikola Tesla and may his great legacy forever live on.
He didn’t. He stole it from Louis Le Prince
