    What was the first thing recorded on a video camera?

    Question #94669. Asked by triviaking97. (Apr 15 08 6:53 PM)

    		The first known image produced by John Logie Baird 's "televisor", circa 1926 was the head of a ventriloquist's dummy nicknamed "Stooky Bill" in a 30-line vertically scanned image, at five pictures a second.

    Baird's numerous other developments demonstrated his particular talent at invention. He was a visionary and began to dabble with electricity. In 1928, he developed an early video recording device, which he dubbed Phonovision.
