Who was Louis Le Prince? What was his contribution to cinema? After reading about him, what surprises you about reading this article?
Louis Le Prince is regarded as the father of cinematography because he captured motion outside his home with a working model which ultimately became the basis for film. He was the inventor of the 16-lens camera which was "one of the most ground breaking inventions of early cinema." This invention utilized paper-bak stripping film which allowed him to successfully project moving images before those of Edison and Lumiere. I was surprised that a man with such high technological skill was not widely recognized due to his unknown death.
