French director, Louis Le Prince is considered the inventor of cinematography, as he was the first person to capture moving images on film using a single-lens camera. In 1888, he presented his first moving picture series, “Roundhay Garden Scene,” following a press conference on the invention of the camera and capturing moving picture footage. Le Prince mysteriously disappeared in 1890 while traveling by train in the U.S., where he was planning to give a public demonstration of his advances in the moving picture arts.
