Trivia
As it proved in David Wilkinson's " The First Film " it is not film, but a series of photographs, 16 in all, each taken from one of the lens from Le Prince's camera. As this was a failure, Le Prince went on to develop the one lens camera, and on the 14th October 1888, he finally made the world's first moving image.

Not the first film, but Le Prince had the right idea

Louis Le Prince, motion picture pioneer, took 16 photos, one each from a different lens on his special made camera, of a man rounding a corner in Paris. The 16 images were combined to produce the effect of a motion picture one second in length of the man turning the corner. The following year Le Prince would develop a one lens camera that operated on a similar principle and make what is now considered the first film - "Roundhay Garden Scene".

Le Prince would disappear mysteriously on his way to America in 1890, never to be seen again. The book "The Missing Reel" deals with the mystery and what might have happened to him. The documentary "The First Film" discusses Le Prince's work in the invention of motion pictures.
