Man Walking Around a Corner
1887 film by Louis Le Prince From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Man Walking Around a Corner is an early film/precursor of film, shot by Louis Le Prince in August 1887.[1] It was taken on the corner of Rue Bochart-de-Saron and Avenue Trudaine in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Pictures from the film were sent in a letter dated 18 August 1887 to his wife. According to David Wilkinson's 2015 documentary The First Film indeed, the work is not a film, but a series of photographs, 16 in total,[2] each taken from one of the 16 lenses from Le Prince's camera.[3] Le Prince went on to develop the one-lens camera,[4] and on 14 October 1888 he finally made the world's first moving image.[5] The total result of the work lasts less than one second.[6]
