Compared to projects from Reynaud and Muybridge, this is a full feature length film. "L'arroseur arrose (The Waterer Watered)" is about a forty-four second motion picture of a boy playing a prank on a man watering his garden. In other words, it's perfect TikTok material. In fact, I bet I could load it to TikTok and claim that these were the original inventors of TikTok until a Chinese developer stole the idea.
"The Waterer Watered" was shot in Lyon, France in the spring of 1895. It is very basic, but supremely suitable given the technology back then. I'm sure a simple film like this gave people all sorts of ideas of what could be done even given the short duration.
