Search Terms:
The earliest celluloid film was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince
using the Le Prince single-lens camera made in 1888. It was taken in the
garden of the Whitley family house in Oakwood Grange Road, Roundhay, a
suburb of Leeds, Yorkshire, Great Britain, possibly on October 14, 1888.
It shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley, (Le
Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley and Miss Harriet Hartley. The
'actors' are shown walking around in circles, laughing to themselves and
keeping within the area framed by the camera. It lasts for less than 2
seconds and includes 4 frames. Thanks to Fracacio for the
contribution.
