Spoor teamed up with the inventor <a href="/wiki/Edward_Hill_Amet" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward Hill Amet">Edward Hill Amet</a> (1860–1948) to build and exhibit "The Magniscope", the first practical 35 mm <a href="/wiki/Movie_projector" title="Movie projector">movie projector</a> ever designed and used in a large audience display. Spoor and Amet made films and distributed them with this device before the 1895 device by the <a href="/wiki/Auguste_and_Louis_Lumi%C3%A8re" title="Auguste and Louis Lumière">Lumière brothers</a> of France. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Edison" title="Thomas Edison">Thomas Edison</a>'s more famous <a href="/wiki/Kinetoscope" title="Kinetoscope">Kinetoscope</a> was exhibited in 1891, but was only able to be viewed by one person at a time through a peephole. </p><p>Spoor and Amet are credited for having filmed: the world's first newsreel, a film of the first <a href="/wiki/Inauguration" title="Inauguration">inauguration</a> of President <a href="/wiki/William_McKinley" title="William McKinley">William McKinley</a> in 1897; the first use of film miniatures (<i><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Battle_of_Santiago_Bay&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="The Battle of Santiago Bay (page does not exist)">The Battle of Santiago Bay</a></i>) in which tin replicas and cigar smoke created the illusion of live war footage; the first to experience local <a href="/wiki/Film_censorship_in_the_United_States" title="Film censorship in the United States">censorship</a> (due to the graphic images of <i>China's <a href="/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion" title="Boxer Rebellion">Boxer Rebellion</a></i>); the first "fake newsreel" in which Spoor used neighbors to act out battles such as the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_San_Juan_Hill" title="Battle of San Juan Hill">Battle of San Juan Hill</a> in a local park. </p><p>Spoor is also remembered for having produced, in 1918, the movie <i><a href="/wiki/Men_Who_Have_Made_Love_to_Me" title="Men Who Have Made Love to Me">Men Who Have Made Love to Me</a></i> by controversial feminist <a href="/wiki/Mary_MacLane" title="Mary MacLane">Mary MacLane</a>, the first serious cinematic work to break the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_wall" title="Fourth wall">fourth wall</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the first to unite writer, narrator, subject, and star. </p><p>In 1926, Spoor and P. John Berggren invented "Natural Vision", an early 65 mm <a href="/wiki/Widescreen" title="Widescreen">widescreen</a> process which was only used for a few films, including <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Niagara_Falls_(1926_film)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Niagara Falls (1926 film) (page does not exist)">Niagara Falls</a></i> (1926), <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rollercoaster_Ride_(1926_film)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rollercoaster Ride (1926 film) (page does not exist)">Rollercoaster Ride</a></i> (1926), <i><a href="/wiki/The_American_(1927_film)" title="The American (1927 film)">The American</a></i> (1927) and <i><a href="/wiki/Danger_Lights" title="Danger Lights">Danger Lights</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/RKO_Radio_Pictures" class="mw-redirect" title="RKO Radio Pictures">RKO Radio Pictures</a>, 1930). The trademark Natural Vision was later used for an unrelated system of making <a href="/wiki/3-D_film" class="mw-redirect" title="3-D film">3-D films</a> in 1953. </p><p>In 1948, Spoor received an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Oscar</a>, specifically an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Honorary_Award" title="Academy Honorary Award">Academy Honorary Award</a>, for his contribution to developing motion pictures as entertainment. </p><p>He died on November 24, 1953. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Selected_filmography">Selected filmography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=George_Kirke_Spoor&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Selected filmography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg/220px-George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg/330px-George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg/440px-George_Kirke_Spoor_%26_P_John_Berggren_-_Jan_1921_EH.jpg 2x" data-file-width="869" data-file-height="633" /></a><figcaption>George Kirke Spoor and P.
