At this time he became a reporter and artist for a New York newspaper and had the life altering chance to meet Thomas Edison. Edison introduced and wowed Blackton with the vitascope, at which time he and Smith purchased one from Edison. This became the time where American Vitagraph Company was, in theory, founded. It is true that animation had roots years before Blackon; however it was no until the release of his first film in 1907 that animation was even considered by the public eye. [3]
