Roundhay Garden Scene, England,1888

Louis Le Prince was a pioneer of motion pictures. He was the first person to shoot a motion picture with a single lens camera and a strip of film. His ultimate masterpiece was called Roundhay Garden, Leeds Bridge, produced in 1888. Who knew motion pictures went back that far? Prince vanished in 1890, believed to be a suicide, and never publicly showed the film. Now the original exists as 20 still frame shots.

Denis Shiryaev took those 20 frames and restored the film using artificial intelligence. He explains what he did in the video, but if you want to only see the animation, skip the first two minutes. The restoration contains 250 frames. And he added sound effects. (via Geekologie)
