Man Walking Around a Corner was an early British film, shot in Leeds, England by Louis Le Prince. According to David Wilkinson's 2015 documentary The First Film it is not film, but a series of photographs, 16 in all, each taken from one of the lens from Le Prince's camera. Le Prince went on to develop the one-lens camera and on the 14th October 1888 he finally made the world's first moving image.
