From 1912, The Cameraman's Revenge, a pioneering example of early stop-motion animation by Ladislaw Starewicz. From a primer on Silentology:
We take it for granted today, but back when cinema was young, the idea that the latest technology could quite literally capture every detail of our most humiliating moments was very new. (There were already popular gags involving mischievous boys and Kodak cameras, but film sure upped the potential for humiliation!) It didn’t take long for filmmakers to come up with various wacky scenarios involving footage of clandestine meetings–Starevich being an early, highly observant example.
