The first film ever made was called Roundhay Garden Scene
It dates back to 1888 October 14
Filmed by Louis Le Prince who hailed from France
The recording showed the Whitley family in somewhat of a trance
Le Prince wed into the family after his move to Leeds, UK
Where he worked with John in the brass industry in the town of Roundhay
He took John’s sister Elizabeth, a talented artist, as his wife
And they founded the Leeds Technical School of Art during the course of their life
But Le Prince’s breakthrough moment came with a special invention
A 16-lens camera that took pictures to another dimension
With it he was able to capture 24 frames
Of the Whitley’s and his son in the garden of Oakwood Grange
Recorded at a speed of 12 frames per second
The film only lasts for a couple but motion picture beckoned
