Timeline
When the invention of the film was presented in Germany in 1896 too both senior and junior Seeber became fascinated by this new medium and they began to shoot their own movies. Normally they filmed actual events in and around Chemnitz, among them the self-explanatory titles "König Albert von Sachsen wird in Chemnitz empfangen" (1898), "König Georg von Sachsen in Chemnitz am 10.9.1902" (1902), and "Die Flugmaschine der Brüder Orville und Wilbur Wright - Ihre Demonstraton auf dem Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin" (1909). Those works were presented to the audience via a travelling cinema.
He had suffered a stroke in 1932 and after this he largely retired from active camera operation. However, he continued to be involved in the film industry, taking over the management of UFA's animation department in 1935 and publishing several books for amateur filmmakers.
Seeber created several animated works, including an advertisement entitle Kipho or Du musst zur Kipho (You Must Go to Kino-Photo) for a film and photography exhibition in Berlin in 1925.
Guido Seeber also averted impressive pictures on the big screen in the second half of the 10s, among them "Engeleins Hochzeit" (1916) and"Der fliegende Holländer" (1918).
In addition to his technical talents with the camera (he developed several special effects techniques), his use of perspective and skillful contrasts between light and dark are noteworthy. His main collaborators were the directors Urban Gad, Lupu Pick, Georg Wilhelm Pabst und Paul Wegener and among his most important accomplishments are the shots of the Doppelgänger in Wegener's Der Student von Prag (The Student of Prague) of 1913 and the moving camera shots in the films of Lupu Pick, particularly Sylvester (1923), which can be seen as anticipating the so-called "unchained camera" of Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's The Last Laugh (1924).
Guido Seeber shot first movies with stories which were forerunners of the later feature movies. To these works belong "Schuld und Sühne" (1910), "Gräfin Ankarström" (1910) and "Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern" (1910).
In 1908 he became technical manager of the film company Deutsche Bioscop.
In the summer of 1896, he saw the first films of the Lumière Brothers and became fascinated by this new technology. He bought a film camera and devoted himself to the development of cinematography and of sound films.
