No other strip of film has ever been produced which pre-dates this one. It is known as the Roundhay Garden Scene (right). Le Prince photographed this sequence (2-3 weeks prior to Leeds) in the garden of the Whitley home, (home of his father-in-law) Roundhay, Leeds. This 'film' was never shown by Le Prince and exists today only as a result of photographic copies of the original paper frames (made by the NMPFT in 1930), and reconstructed animations.
Le Prince's original pictures where photographed using his 16-lens camera (the LPCC 16-lens camera) and used Eastman Kodak film-paper. They were shot at sixteen frames per second. Unlike Leeds, Roundhay had 'actors' namely; Adolphe Le Prince (Louis' son), Sarah Whitley (Louis' mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley (factory owner where Le Prince worked) and Harriet Hartley. The entire episode shows everyone walking around in a circle.
