The Lumiere Brothers began their career filming in locations relatively close to their home. After becoming comfortable with their instrument they began sending cameramen all over the world to direct films which they would produce. Alexandre Promio was one such cameraman. He witnessed Lumiere's first film show and became deeply interested in moving pictures and was hired as one of the Lumiere Brother's first cinematographers.
Promio traveled to Canada in order to film the Niagara Falls. He created the world's first moving shot when in Venice, Italy he set his camera in a gondola and traveled through the streets in order to capture the surrounding locations. Promio also made what may be world's first "phantom ride" shot when he traveled to Jerusalem and filmed footage on a train as it was leaving a station. Promio also filmed in other locations such as Geneva, New York, and London.
Promio later worked for the french Pathe Freres company, in 1907, and between 1914 and 1915 he also was a soldier as part of the first world's war. He died on 24 December, 1926.- Actor
