Thank You spirmessi for doing Your part...in helping to preserve Film History...friend of Sheen/Estevez? Clint Eastwood? Jerry Bruckheimer? I applaud...everyone who is helping to preserve these, the HISTORY of these...and stopping the CENSURES and HISTORY ERASORS. Shalom Bro.
This is amazing, its kind of weired actually seeing this film footage from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. So many times I've only seen the photographs from this era. Seeing these people actually interact with one another on film brings them out of the textbook. It reminds me that the people of the past are not relics,and were not that different from you and I. Again this is incredible thanks for linking this to me. ; )
THIS IS SIMPLY IMPRESSIVE!! I TOTALLY LOVE AND ADORE CINEMA AND IT'S REALLY EMOTIONING ME TO SEE THE FIRST ATTEMPTS TO WORK ON FILMS! I ALSO LOVE THE FIRST REAL MOVIES FROM THE 20'S, LIKE MURNAU.
Thank you so much for this amazing video. If it were not for people that invented things we would have nothing to build on. This tribute to these great people is very welcome. Thank you. Thumbs up.
Thank you for uploading this. I know this is gonna sound strange but when I saw the test shots of the first films I don't know why but it made me cry it moved me. Just seeing the first part of the video was amazing.
An EXCELLENT crash course on the history of Film. Yep! I LOVE film history and I actually own many of the early films that were in this video. Moving pictures never cease to fascinate me :-) It's pure MAGIC!!!!!
I still remember the first time I saw the footage of "A Trip To The Moon." It was day when men first walked on on the moon 43 summers ago, when I was 10. As part of the coverage leading up to that moment they showed some of the ways that the moon had been depicted in human culture in the past.
Thank you for this! A delightful re-cap of cinema history ... and the perfect way to start a Monday morning. Everyone has a "favorite" or two; IMHO, the greatest film ever made was the 1936 H.G. Wells movie, "Things To Come." Wells always warned us against the horrors of war, and this was his finest achievement.
first time i saw a 'trip to the moon" was in the prolouge to michael wildings "around the world in 80 days'. I was 7 years old and i remember it to this day
Thank you for posting this excellent collection of historic film clips. Most of the people I know have never seen a silent film, and they can't even imagine the idea that they might possibly like watching one. It's too bad that so many will deprive themselves of the joy of watching these works, and they deprive themselves of a better understanding of film history at the same time.
Wonderful superb greatest information for cinema and All production cast directors sound composerd prudusers and stars oldest. Greatest rest in peace of All
Wow. I had not idea the first photograph was taken in 1826. The year that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died, and 10 years before David Crockett dies at the Alamo to put it into perspective. And the first sound recording one year before the American Civil War begins. Well done video. I liked the beginning and end graphics. Wish I knew how to do those.
A video with basic explanations that shows us the history of art that really excites us and gives us joy. Congratulations on your production. Greetings from Brazil.
Wonderful montage and tribute!! Some of the things shown here I'd seen or heard of before, but there was much here I also learned! Thanks for posting and this is going on my favorites list! :-)
Great collection of facts-the first few were new to me, and I've seen 'em all, or so I thought! To think, sound recorded in the Civil War era- can't imagine how they even did it. Edison did it first, I thought, and he had the necessary understanding, new at the time, of the nature of sound waves. As to the horse running, I think that was the first time they conclusively discovered that all 4 legs could be off the ground at once. High-speed (ASA) film made motion pictures possible.
The world's earliest motion picture : Roundhay Garden Scene 1888 (Louis Le Prince) The first photo : View from the Window at Le Gras 1826 (Nicéphore Niépce) The first sound ever recorded : Au clair de la lune 1860 (Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville) All of these inventors were FRENCH. THANK YOU FRENCH PEOPLE ! YOU MAKE PROGRESS HUMANITY !
Thanks for sending us! The revolution of the moving image owes much to all those pioneers! Great video! A fraternal embrace of friends in Brazil. Team Televisual
This video made me consider two things: 1) We take our current video technology way to much for granted and 2) The first movie makers were innovative geniuses! Thank you for posting this wonderful look back in movie history. {Sub + Friend}
Pure Magic, Every nation has given the world its cultre and in no short messure Americal, a cultre that the world has loved. Appart from movies for example, at the fall of communism in Russia the first thing the young guys wanted was a pair of Levi blue jeans. Thats not to say that some top movies dont come out of Europe of course. Mikee.
In particular, towards the end: Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and hardy GASP is it 100 years later(????) and I just laughed so hard I'm tearing! after nearly 100 years their humor still does it THATS quality. Does anyone produce that today 2010???
I was waiting to see if anyone would mention the 'Colour gaff', there were several colour films in the 1930's. Disneys stuff, Wizard of Oz etc. The Germans were way ahead in quality with Agfercolour, even for home movies. Anyone see those films Eva Braun took of Hitler in colour? Anyway--great compilation, thanks very much 'spirmessi '.
Louis Aime Augistin''s surname was Le Prince if anyone is looking for it. His father was a distinguished and highly decorated soldier in the French Army.
4:30-6:30 George Melie was the father of special effects...he produced the first horror movie...he directed the first science fiction movie. Wow, I hope this guy got properly recognized while he was alive. Everyone should know his name.
@lividfarmer The name of the movie is "Safety Last" starring Harold Lloyd. He was a great comedian and performed most of his own dangerous stunts on the film.
Εξαιρετικό το video σου. Περιέχει πληροφορίες και σκηνές που δεν είδα σε κανένα άλλο documentary για τον κινηματογράφο (και πίστεψέ με, έχω δει πολλά!), καθώς και σκηνές τις οποίες είχα δει μόνο σε φωτογραφίες. Και το editing είναι τέλειο. Ευχαριστώ :)
Fascinating and informative. An outstanding vid;well put together and extremely intresting. Thankyou for posting this vid...5 stars and in my personal playlists. X
Correction : >>> The Sentimental Bloke was made in 1919 Not 1908 but Longford made his first feature in 1911, STILL PRE-DATING US FEATURE FILMS. I urge any fans of pioneer cinema to watch the movie and other Longford movies and see for yourselves Longford's genius in action, a classic movie, AND The Story of the Kelly Gang which can be seen on RUclips but as I said parts of the film are lost.

it is one of the most interesting video of all time
I just wanna thank you for compiling the most breathtaking videos of the dawn in the movie industry and summed it into a great production
thx for the cinematic ride, great work. Brought back loads of memories watching those silent films while growing up.

This video is a great source of information! One of the most beautiful video shared on RUclips!
Fascinating!!!
This makes me really want to watch a silent film.

WONDERFUL!! I loved hearing the first audio and seeing the first photograph.
175 years of film. great compilation!

Great collection of video clips. It really captures the birth of the cinema. Thanks so much for posting
Beautiful video with old images, super!!

I loved it. Great video. I feel honoured because the Buster Keaton montage was my very own montage. I'm glad it served a good purpose. Great video.
this is amazing! i love it! its always great to know how our films began and the history of them
Thank you very much for sharing these images with us. They are still wonderful to look at and enjoy. Keep up the good work.
It is nice to watch history in the making!! Gone With the Wind is amazing. It is so cool to see how far cinema has come.
fortunately we've still got artists like Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher and a few others to keep the hope up
Wow. I had not idea the first photograph was taken in 1826. The year that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died, and 10 years before David Crockett dies at the Alamo to put it into perspective.

The "Father" of special effects part really thrilled me!

Greetings from Brazil.
Brilliant video. How in days of yore! Suitable music in addition! Simply brilliantly!
The first kiss ever recorded at 4:21 is probably the sweetest I've ever seen.
Thank you so much for letting me know about this video;Absolutely wonderful!Grazie mille! :)
I really believe the movie theatres will have a great come back.
If theatres changed the inside maybe a room theme.
I imagine more will wanna go.
Wonderful montage and tribute!! Some of the things shown here I'd seen or heard of before, but there was much here I also learned! Thanks for posting and this is going on my favorites list! :-)
That lovely lady at 1:38 is Annabelle Whitford Moore! She made quite a few films for Edison. :)
Belle initiative que d'avoir fait cette vidéo..Merci de nous l'avoir fait partager. Bisous et bonne soirée!!Lucile
This was sent to me by Email and I just want to say thank you. It was a great joy to watch and even a little learned. Thanks again it's great.
Wow! Impressive video and the attached History about the FILM making...Excellent , Thank you...Zuzanna
why did this make me so emotional? i'm just trying to do film homework.

High-speed (ASA) film made motion pictures possible.

All of these inventors were FRENCH.
THANK YOU FRENCH PEOPLE ! YOU MAKE PROGRESS HUMANITY !
I'm so confused by the plot of Exiting the Factory. So many twists and turns.
J'adore ces vieilles images et ces climats exceptionnels, super page
Thanks for putting that together, absolutely fascinating
Pretty cool. The slapstick comedy was actually pretty funny! :D

That scene is one of Thomas Edison's early films. The lovely lady is the legendary Annie Oakley, as in "Annie Get Your Gun"
This document is outstanding!!
Thanks for uploading this video!

This is history, cinema history! Good stuff.

Hola! Un trabajo fantástico! Muy buen documento y muy bien hecho. Gracias por compartir! Saludos
07:15 first Jackass movie :D
Thank you for the history of the film, I showed (it) to my daughter

I love this compilation but that twinkling sound kills me every time I show it to a class... It just goes and goes!
Awesome video!!! Too bad it has so few visits. This should be watched by everyone. Great stuff!!!
The sad, but beautifu;ll score almost made me cry. To think that we went from that amazing magic begining of the art of cinema to Avatar is a tragedy.
I watch "A Trip To The Moon" today on netflix
Louis Aime Augistin''s surname was Le Prince if anyone is looking for it. His father was a distinguished and highly decorated soldier in the French Army.
Very interesting and most enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing this piece of cinematic history, which I have added to my "favourites" list.
Brilliant history of film. Very nice work. You have compiled a nice collection.
(( Awesome.))
4:30-6:30 George Melie was the father of special effects...he produced the first horror movie...he directed the first science fiction movie. Wow, I hope this guy got properly recognized while he was alive. Everyone should know his name.
Beautiful! I had a nice time watching it! Some nostalgic...
1:57
Edison sure could pick men hehe :P
Brilliant video!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
A very nice video! I really enjoyed it.
Although, one problem. Keaton was not a Sennett boy.
But I did love the Keaton montage.
dedico esto a Pablo Ferro, uno de los mas
talentosos artistas graficos contemporaneos
Gracias

Great collection of clips! Very informative!
Very interesting video! But wasn't colour added in 1939 or earlier because Gone with the Wind was in colour!
A film course in under 10 minutes! Thanks!
Absolutely a 5* production.
Correction : >>> The Sentimental Bloke was made in 1919 Not 1908 but Longford made his first feature in 1911, STILL PRE-DATING US FEATURE FILMS.
