Also known as:

Mest kinematograficheskogo operatora (original title)
Director: Wladyslaw Starewicz
Writer: Wladyslaw Starewicz
Genre: Stop Motion Animation Short Film
Length: 12 minutes
The director, writer and cameraman was Ladislas Starevich, a Polish heritage, Russian born film maker who was not only interested in film but in Natural History and indeed he was the director of a Natural History museum in Lithuanian. He mainly made films with dead animals, doing stop motion animation and puppetry with his film subjects.
The Cameraman's Revenge is more interesting, than entertaining...I mean how much character development can you get from the dead bugs?

"A jilted husband takes his revenge by filming his wife and her lover and showing the result at the local cinema. This was one of Starewicz' first animated films, and stars very realistic animated beetles."
This is one of the most unusual short films that you will see. Where else are you going to see a 105 year old movie with stop-motion animated dead bugs? These bugs live quite the soap opera life! Who knew bugs could be so animated, pardon the pun!The director, writer and cameraman was Ladislas Starevich, a Polish heritage, Russian born film maker who was not only interested in film but in Natural History and indeed he was the director of a Natural History museum in Lithuanian.
