Accordion Player is a short silent motion picture directed by Louis Le Prince. It is one of the earliest surviving motion pictures. The brief film shows a man (Adolphe Le Prince) playing the diatonic button accordion in a single, static shot, highlighting the pioneering experiments in motion capture during the late 19th century.[1]
It was recorded on the steps of the house of Joseph Whitley, Louis's father-in-law. The recording date may be the same as Roundhay Garden as the camera is in a similar position and Adolphe is dressed the same.[2]
