A. O. Segerberg

Albert Oscar Segerberg (1881—13 July 1941) was an Australian cameraman. He began shooting films as early as 1896, and later worked as a cameraman for Pathé Frères, the Australian Photo-Play Company and the Fraser brothers. He shot large numbers of newsreels, and industrial and educational documentaries, including his own series, Australia at Work.[1]

Segerberg claimed to have taken the first moving pictures in Australia at the 1896 Melbourne Cup and shown it in the Opera House, Melbourne.[2]

Selected filmography

gollark: For example, if I said "this eBook is a book because it's a long-form piece of verbal content", I could then use the noncentral fallacy to go "so it's made of paper and has text printed onto physical pages".
gollark: X is sort of Y if you stretch the/a definition, so X should have all the connotations of Y.
gollark: Particularly the noncentral fallacy.
gollark: It's basically entirely appeal to emotion, vague word association and stacks upon stacks of fallacies.
