Single Lens Camera at Work
5 September 2022
Per A to Z Wiki, Director Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (28 August 1841 - disappeared 16 September 1890, declared dead 16 September 1897) was a French artist and the inventor of an early motion-picture camera, possibly the first person to shoot a moving picture sequence using a single lens camera and a strip of (paper) film. He has been credited as "Father of Cinematography", but his work did not influence the commercial development of cinema-owing at least in part to the great secrecy surrounding it.

This brief clip is light years ahead of the rudimentary creations of Eadweard Muybridge who used multiple cameras to record a "moving picture." What Muybridge did to make a moving picture was creative, but he wasn't an inventor like Le Prince.
