<P> An early projector, along similar lines to Muybridge's zoopraxiscope, was built by Ottomar Anschütz in 1887 . His Electrotachyscope used 24 images on a rotating glass disk . In 1894 his invention projected moving images in Berlin . </P> <P> As a result of the work of Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne - Jules Marey, inventors in the late 19th century began to realize that the making and showing of photographic' moving pictures' of a more useful or even indefinite length was a practical possibility . </P> <P> The first motion picture camera was invented by the Frenchman Louis Le Prince in the 1880s, while working in Leeds, England . Le Prince had been inspired by Muybridge's pioneering experiments, and he patented his first invention, a 16 - lensed camera, in 1887 . The first eight lenses would be triggered in rapid succession by an electromagnetic shutter on the sensitive film; the film would then be moved forward, allowing the other eight lenses to operate on the film . Although the camera was capable of' capturing' motion, it was not a complete success because each lens photographed the subject from a slightly different viewpoint, with the result that foreground elements in the projected scene wove about relative to each other and to the background . </P> <P> In May 1887, after much trial and error, Le Prince was finally able to develop and patent the first single - lensed motion picture camera in 1888 . He used it to shoot the world's earliest known motion picture on film: Roundhay Garden Scene, a short test photographed on October 14, 1888 in Roundhay, Leeds . </P>
