Roundhay Garden Scene

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Roundhay Garden Scene is a 1888 short film credited as the first film ever made in history.

The film is filmed on Oakwood Grange Road in Roundhay, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince. It features Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley (Le Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley and Miss Harriet Hartley walking around and laughing within the frame view.

It is verifiable by the known fact that Mrs. Whitley was known to have died in October 1888. Today, only photographic copies of parts of the paper filmstrip exist.

The film was recorded on celluloid photographic film through a Le Prince single-lense camera. It runs 2 seconds and uses 4 frames.
