The final surviving production of Le Prince's LPCC Type-16 (a 16-lens camera) consists of a gelatin film shot at 32 frames per second, depicting a man walking around a corner. Le Prince, who was in Leeds, UK, at the time, sent these images to his wife in New York City in a letter dated August 18, 1887.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
