Dickson and William Heise for the Edison labs. Scholars have differing opinions on whether the first was shot in June 1889 starring John Ott or sometime between November 21-27, 1890 starring G. Sacco Albanese. Both men were fellow lab workers at the company; contradictory evidence exists for each claim. The film was intended to be internal test of the new camera system, and was not created for commercial use; its rise to prominence resulted much later due to work by film historians. The film shows a blurry figure in white standing in one place making large gestures and are only a few seconds long.
