Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge

Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince filmed this epic the very same year he gave us Roundhay Garden Scene. Instead of his family walking in circles he filmed, as the title would suggest, traffic crossing Leeds bridge. And when I say traffic I don't mean cars, trucks and buses. I mean people walking a couple of guys who were lucky enough to have horses and carriages.

Since Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince was the ONLY director to release any films in 1888 it proves he was the best director of his era. He didn't need big actors or loads of effects or a computerized ape. Just a camera and a bridge. And he was the man who gave birth to cinema. Not literally, that would be hideous.
