Lumière Minutes
The cameracrank a handle, moving the film through the machine, recording all it saw in front of it. With the apparatus sitting static on a tripod all of the shots were from a fixed perspective, that was unless the camera, tripod and operator themselves were already on a moving vehicle. As the reels of film were rather short, the shots, or Lumière views, didn’t last more than a minute.
