Émile Reynaud was a French inventor born in Montreuil, Paris to Brutus Reynaud, an engineer who moved to Paris from Le Puy-en-Velay in 1842, and Marie-Caroline Bellanger, a former schoolteacher who educated Émile at home and taught him drawing and painting techniques. By 1862 he started his own career as a photographer in Paris. When his father died, him and mother both left Paris for Le Puy-en-Velay. He was taught Latin, Greek, physics, chemistry, mechanics, and natural sciences by his uncle, a doctor in the area. After reading a series of 1876 articles about optical illusion devices, he created the praxinoscope (an animation device) out of a cookie box and patented it in 1877. He started production on the device in Paris and was a financial success. He perfected the praxinoscope and invented Théâtre Optique (Optical Theatre), an animated moving picture system, which is also notable for the first known use of film perforations, and patented it in 1888. Its first regular public screenings started on 28 October 1892 with his series of animated films called Pantomimes Lumineuses. In 1895 he created the photo-scénographe, a version of the théâtre optique that could take photographs, but it was overshadowed by the cinematograph of Auguste Lumière and Louis Lumière. Later, due to the success of other filmmakers the popularity of Reynaud's showings was reduced and they ended on 1 March 1900. He destroyed the théâtre optique during a fit of despair and years later he threw most of his films into the Siene. On 16 October 1902 he patented the stéréo-cinéma, a stereo camera that could take 3D film. He made several films with the camera, but was unable to find financial backing. During World War I he lived in hospitals and nursing homes before dying on 9 January 1918.- Actress

Scott Tixier is a GRAMMY award-winning French jazz violinist and 2018 Downbeat Critic Poll Winner. He has performed, recorded and toured with jazz legends and music icons such as Stevie Wonder, Kenny Barron, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Ed Sheeran, Cassandra Wilson, Coldplay, Chris Potter, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Cole, Anthony Braxton, Ariana Grande, and many others. In addition to performing in and out of the jazz world Tixier is known for his work on motion picture scores such as The Lion King, John Wick, Charlie's Angels and TV shows including The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on NBC, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as well as the previous format with David Letterman, Late Night with Seth Meyers, America's Got Talent and most recently with Netflix for Spike Lee new film in collaboration with composer Terence Blanchard (to be released in 2020).
Tixier studied classical violin at the conservatory in Paris. Following that, he studied improvisation as a self-educated jazz musician. He was based in New York for over a decade where he performed in all the major venues across the United States including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Blue Note Jazz Club, Apollo Theater, Smalls Jazz Club, The Stone and United States Capitol.
Grammy Award-winning bassist Marcus Miller says that Tixier "made an international name for himself. I heard him in France and was immediately struck by his individuality and his sound. " Guitarist Pat Metheny says, "[Scott] has found a place for himself within the elite community of New York jazz musicians, no small feat." And Jean-Luc Ponty said, "I have heard Scott's recordings, seen his live performances and I think that he stands above the crowd of current jazz violinists around the world."
In August 2018 Tixier joined the UNT College of Music as an Assistant Professor of Violin (Jazz/Popular/Alternative Styles) and Director of Jazz String Lab band. The first jazz studies program in the U.S to offer a degree for jazz strings at a doctoral level.
What the press said about Tixier: One of his generation's extraordinary talents, Tixier has made a name for himself as a violinist-composer of wide-ranging ambition, individuality and drive - "the future of jazz violin" in the words of Downbeat Magazine and "A remarkable improviser and a cunning jazz composer" in those of NPR. "taking the jazz world by storm" as the All About Jazz Journal put it. While The New York Times declared "Mr. Tixier is a violinist whose sonic palette, like his range of interests, runs open and wide." Jazz Times said, "Tixier has a remarkably vocal tone, and he employs it with considerable suspense."- Writer
