Louis Le Prince (Photo found on Einestages)
Until today I had heard and read about Thomas Edison and the Lumière brothers when it came to Cinema's history. Little did I know that it was a totally different guy who really filmed the first sequences of moving images back in 1888: Louis Le Prince. That's three years before Auguste and Louis Lumière made their first movie! He used a single lens camera and a paper pellicle to do his film.
Sadly, though, Le Prince disappeared before he could present his work to the public: in 1890, the cinema pioneer got on a train in Dijon, France, heading to Paris and was never seen again. Conspiracy theories, anyone?
