Director: Pierre Jules César Janssen
Producer: Janssen
Country: France
Notes: On 8 December 1874, French astronomer Pierre Jules César Janssen recorded a series of images with his photographic revolver of the transit of Venus between the Earth and the Sun. Janssen's team of eight people traveled to the Kompirayama hill in Nagasaki, Japan for the event, while two other members of his party went to Kobe, Japan. The next day, Janssen reported that his observations were a success, despite the caveat that it was "cloudy at intervals". Unfortunately this record is no longer known to exist. The animation of images available on the web, including this one, are of a simulation conducted by Janssen earlier in 1874. Janssen presented artificial passages to the Académie des Sciences on 6 July 1874. In addition to arguably being the first instance of cinematography, these images are also early examples of time-lapse photography and of scientific filmmaking. - Cineanalyst on imdb
