Answer

Louis Le Prince's motion-picture experiments culminated in 1888, when he shot what is considered to be the world's first moving picture, a recording of a train departing a station. The film, titled Roundhay Garden Scene, was shot on October 14, 1888, in Leeds, England. It is a short clip, lasting just over two seconds, but it is significant because it is the earliest surviving moving picture.
