0:54 The old lady walking or dancing backwards in the "Roundhay Garden Scene" from 1888 was called Sarah Whitley. She died just 10 days after that film was shot. She was born in 1816 and is the earliest born human ever to be captured on film. It's a strange thought, but Jack the Ripper's final victim still had three weeks to live when it was filmed. EDIT: It's been mentioned that Pope Leo XIII is the earliest born person on film. Great quality film it is too. I see also that a woman named Rebecca Clark, born in 1804, is claimed to be the earliest born. They say it's possible someone born in the 1700's may have been filmed too. So, like the earliest born person photographed, it seems to be disputed. Doesn't really matter anyway, does it?

The clip of 1906 San Francisco is fascinating, not only because it was filmed 4 days before the Great SF Earthquake, but it's a crazy glimpse into the utter chaos of early street travel, with no dividing lanes and seemingly no rules governing right of way (or if there were, no one seemed to observe them)! There must have been dozens (hundreds?) of accidents daily, involving cars, horses and pedestrians alike!
Read Devil In The White City for a fascinating look at what it was like to live in Chicago in the last decade before the end of the 19th century. Bonkers. 10,000 head of cattle a day coming into the city by rail in stockcar to be unloaded at the slaughter houses. On average 2 people per day were struck and killed by one of these trains. Apparently the stench from the 1000's of cattle kept in the, stockyards, the butchered animal carcasses and rivers of blood from the slaughter houses, and the continual influx of trains made up of nothing but stock cars filled with cattle spraying gallons of shit like water from a fire hose was beyond the power of mere words to do justice. It had to be smelled first hand to be believed. Nothing but booze, brothels, and gambling houses. People going missing never to be heard of again was a common occurrence. Absolutely crazy.
There's a chance that accidents didn't happen all that often considering the fact that the speed of transportation back then is snail like compared to nowadays and it's also worth mentioning that the amount of people that could afford transportation such as automobiles is likely less than it is now (combined with the population being lower). Of course back then accidents definitely happened from time to time but the likelihood of a fatal injury from such things seem to be minimal
Fun fact about these daily accidents you mention. Also in 1906 but in Paris, Marie Curie's husband slipped and fell under a horse-drawn cart and it ran over his head. He died. RIP.

Well, although technically "video" because of the very broad definition - "The recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images" - I'd say that the vast majority of people would not call these "videos" but rather "film clips". In fact the first use of the word "video" came at the very early stage of television, more than half a century after the earliest of the examples above.
I just finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and it was so immersive that it felt like I time travelled, which is one way modern people can experience the past as in these films

To those in the video who have since long passed, we acknowledge your existence. We may have never had the chance to meet, but your influence will echo throughout time.
IMO people like your great grandmother whose lives spanned the 20th century saw more change than any other group who have lived. For example, when she was born the airplane hadnt been invented when she died there were people living on a space station.
Just an FYI-Today, digital technology sort of equalizes film and video, but when these historical moving images were made, digital didn't exist, video did not exist, just FILM, so what you're showing here is FILM. The definition of film is a thin flexible strip of plastic or other material coated with light-sensitive emulsion for exposure in a camera, used to produce photographs or motion pictures. Video is an electronic medium for recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display of moving visual media. So your title should read, "Oldest Film Ever Recorded".
This is why i always take pictures and videos whenever I go out. My friends find it annoying but I know what I'm doing .A picture is worth a thousand words
Alas there are billions who think the same, & thus there are billions of hours of footage billions of people would have no interest in. Very old footage is obviously rare, & thus of far more importance & interest to many. Would you have filmed the 9/11 ceremony the other week if you’d been there? I saw some were, even the silences, & they should be imprisoned for doing so, the selfish, insensitive twats.
Just a technical note. These aren’t “videos” because they weren’t shot with video technology. They were shot with 35 mm FILM. So these were short films, not videos. Video didn’t come into play until the 1970s or so. FYI. Having said that, I Love this collection of films. Thank you.
@@davestang5454It is accurate. From the Oxford English Dictionary: “The process of recording, reproducing, broadcasting, or distributing moving visual images on magnetic tape or (in later use) in a digital format.”
@@randolfo1265 No it doesn't. Video is the word used for the electronic storage of images, as opposed to film. This is the original British usage of the term. Nobody ever used video as a noun, adjective or verb to describe film, or making a film, until the smart phone generation.

@@johnbaxter533 We have yet to experience, as audience members, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World "feelies," cinematic projections of onscreen characters' feelings and scene sensations.
interesting to note that these EARLIEST movies appear to depict very simple and mundane subjects and techniques. I guess THAT was enough cause moving pictures, in their mere selves, were enough of a novelty and wonder at the time. After a while though they had to make the subjects more interesting and titillating and feature more tricks and illusions (or "special effects" as we'd now call them).
It’s amazing how you see so many people out in the streets and having a conversation in person. Nowadays you don’t see people walking outside and side walls aren’t around as much. People just stay in their phones and travel in vehicles.

There are lots of comments about the styles back then. But remember off-the-rack clothes of different sizes didn't start to get really popular until well into the 20th century. That would make a lot of people in these videos wearing custom fitted clothes. I don't know about you guys but I would look pretty good too if all my clothes were custom fitted!
@@zzodysseuszz a lot of technology has made us stray further from things that made humans know how to survive and made us all miserable working to make money to buy things we never really needed in the first place. The fact that most people need refrigerators now when we never needed them before has actually become a hindrance. Another example: I saw many people comment under a video of a mother showing what she gives her kids for lunch and the comments were filled with people having no idea what was in the meal and angrily wondering why she didn't just give her kids Lunchables etc... I had to actually explain to them that she was packing fruit, vegetables and meat for her kids and that it was food people ate before grocery stores with junk food existed and someone actually thanked me for explaining... I had considered they were joking but they doubled down and said they genuinely had no idea. I can't figure out how. They were so used to premade junk they somehow forgot what food used to be I guess... Another example is money, as the meme says: "Humans are the only creatures who pay to live on earth". And if we go way way back in time, the decision to stop hunting, gathering, moving around to find food and settle and start farming was a pretty bad idea for a few reasons. One was more access to food which made people more fertile, the more fertile people became the more it changed women's bodies when they got pregnant and to this day, thousands of years later, when women get pregnant some of them still deal with the hormonal change that causes their teeth to rot. Many "advancements" we've made since then has seemed to cause us to take several steps back and have to come up with new technology to deal with it. Dentistry was one of the first medical types of treatments humans had to invent to deal with all the rotting teeth. They have found ancient skulls with cavities mostly after farming started. And all the advances we have today... Most of them aren't needed. I hear people say all the time they envy their pets because their lives are so simple. I don't see humans as being better either because of all the problems we've caused ourselves under the false idea it's all great advancements. We didn't need to do most things and could have still been alive and happy. The only things we really had to do was invent clothes out of fur because evolution decided we needed to lose our fur for some reason and so we all would have gone extinct without clothes...and we needed to eat more variety of food because limiting ourselves to only big creatures wasn't sustainable. There are still humans living ancient ways, not needing money etc... but our "advancements" are ruining their lives for no reason.
And the first "videos" are around the time doc brown was a blacksmith back in 1885..... How cool would it have been if they could have captured images of him on these films, or even of buford mad dog tannen!!
A fascinating glimpse. A chance to see the world as my grandmother (1867-1960) and my father (1906-1984) experienced. Being 77 of age myself I feel I’ve also experienced incredible technological and societal change. Thank you for this.
Your family timeline is similar to mine due to my father being older when I was born, he being the youngest of five, and his mother being one of the youngest of many siblings. I was born when my father was in his 50s, he was born in 1902 (lived until 1998), his parents (my grandparents) were born in 1862 and 1868 (died in 1936 and 1964), and his mother's father, my great grandfather (only one great), was born in 1826 during the John Quincy Adams presidency, and while John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still alive. It's hard for me to believe .my dad was born closer to the life of George Washington (103 years) than to today (121 years).
Woman throwing money to the poor made me really sad, how entertained she was like throwing food to animals. Pity its never changed ,very heart breaking 💔
I'm no psychic so I can't tell what her intentions were particularly within the context of the times. Joke not intended, but on the other side of the coin the kids seemed to have fun chasing after the coins.
In the era we live in now of masks and super sanitation we can be a tad judgemental but those poor children would have carried all sorts of diseases on their hands and parasites such as fleas carrying other bacteria that were best avoided. Even today, for that reason, a lot of people avoid contact with strangers children. During those times poor children knew this fact and people they harassed would throw coin to get them away.

They both sang and played multiple instruments as well used other material to mimic things like horses galloping and trains clacking. I didn't inherit a bit of their talent but I am proud to have descended from such fun people
😸😺😻

Very interesting exposé of that particular acting era. You have every right to be proud of your ancestors.
That would have been a fun and exciting job: *making* the soundtrack as the movie played! Bravo to your great grandparents!

@@katkatkat5 nope, our video quality is so good that 4k and 8k which is starting to become normal is indistinguishable so even if it’s 32k footage it wouldn’t be any different from 4k and 60 fps is as fast as the human eye can see so people bragging about 120fps is stupid because it’s already 60 fps faster than how fast humans can see
The clip of 1906 San Francisco is fascinating, not only because it was filmed 4 days before the Great SF Earthquake, but it's a crazy glimpse into the utter chaos of early street travel, with no dividing lanes and seemingly no rules governing right of way (or if there were, no one seemed to observe them)! There must have been dozens (hundreds?) of accidents daily, involving cars, horses and pedestrians alike!
Read Devil In The White City for a fascinating look at what it was like to live in Chicago in the last decade before the end of the 19th century. Bonkers. 10,000 head of cattle a day coming into the city by rail in stockcar to be unloaded at the slaughter houses. On average 2 people per day were struck and killed by one of these trains. Apparently the stench from the 1000's of cattle kept in the, stockyards, the butchered animal carcasses and rivers of blood from the slaughter houses, and the continual influx of trains made up of nothing but stock cars filled with cattle spraying gallons of shit like water from a fire hose was beyond the power of mere words to do justice. It had to be smelled first hand to be believed. Nothing but booze, brothels, and gambling houses. People going missing never to be heard of again was a common occurrence. Absolutely crazy.
India is like this in daily
There's a chance that accidents didn't happen all that often considering the fact that the speed of transportation back then is snail like compared to nowadays and it's also worth mentioning that the amount of people that could afford transportation such as automobiles is likely less than it is now (combined with the population being lower). Of course back then accidents definitely happened from time to time but the likelihood of a fatal injury from such things seem to be minimal
Apparently, painting a white line down the middle of the road reduced the accident rate by orders of magnitude.
Fun fact about these daily accidents you mention. Also in 1906 but in Paris, Marie Curie's husband slipped and fell under a horse-drawn cart and it ran over his head. He died. RIP.

When my nephew was in his early teens he was always annoyed and complained because his dad (my brother) was taking pictures and video of him. When he was 16 he fell out the back of a pickup and is now half paralyzed, and had 1/4 of his brain removed. Those videos and pictures are the only thing left showing him living a normal life.

Well, although technically "video" because of the very broad definition - "The recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images" - I'd say that the vast majority of people would not call these "videos" but rather "film clips". In fact the first use of the word "video" came at the very early stage of television, more than half a century after the earliest of the examples above.

Just an FYI-Today, digital technology sort of equalizes film and video, but when these historical moving images were made, digital didn't exist, video did not exist, just FILM, so what you're showing here is FILM. The definition of film is a thin flexible strip of plastic or other material coated with light-sensitive emulsion for exposure in a camera, used to produce photographs or motion pictures.
Video is an electronic medium for recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display of moving visual media. So your title should read, "Oldest Film Ever Recorded".
Ok snowflake you tell him
This is why i always take pictures and videos whenever I go out. My friends find it annoying but I know what I'm doing .A picture is worth a thousand words
And now under Covid we are living in a Historical moment.

I always live too much in the moment that I forget to take pictures/videos😕
Alas there are billions who think the same, & thus there are billions of hours of footage billions of people would have no interest in. Very old footage is obviously rare, & thus of far more importance & interest to many.

Just a technical note. These aren’t “videos” because they weren’t shot with video technology. They were shot with 35 mm FILM. So these were short films, not videos. Video didn’t come into play until the 1970s or so. FYI.

@@zzodysseuszz a lot of technology has made us stray further from things that made humans know how to survive and made us all miserable working to make money to buy things we never really needed in the first place. The fact that most people need refrigerators now when we never needed them before has actually become a hindrance. Another example: I saw many people comment under a video of a mother showing what she gives her kids for lunch and the comments were filled with people having no idea what was in the meal and angrily wondering why she didn't just give her kids Lunchables etc... I had to actually explain to them that she was packing fruit, vegetables and meat for her kids and that it was food people ate before grocery stores with junk food existed and someone actually thanked me for explaining... I had considered they were joking but they doubled down and said they genuinely had no idea. I can't figure out how. They were so used to premade junk they somehow forgot what food used to be I guess... Another example is money, as the meme says: "Humans are the only creatures who pay to live on earth". And if we go way way back in time, the decision to stop hunting, gathering, moving around to find food and settle and start farming was a pretty bad idea for a few reasons. One was more access to food which made people more fertile, the more fertile people became the more it changed women's bodies when they got pregnant and to this day, thousands of years later, when women get pregnant some of them still deal with the hormonal change that causes their teeth to rot. Many "advancements" we've made since then has seemed to cause us to take several steps back and have to come up with new technology to deal with it. Dentistry was one of the first medical types of treatments humans had to invent to deal with all the rotting teeth. They have found ancient skulls with cavities mostly after farming started. And all the advances we have today... Most of them aren't needed. I hear people say all the time they envy their pets because their lives are so simple. I don't see humans as being better either because of all the problems we've caused ourselves under the false idea it's all great advancements. We didn't need to do most things and could have still been alive and happy. The only things we really had to do was invent clothes out of fur because evolution decided we needed to lose our fur for some reason and so we all would have gone extinct without clothes...and we needed to eat more variety of food because limiting ourselves to only big creatures wasn't sustainable. There are still humans living ancient ways, not needing money etc... but our "advancements" are ruining their lives for no reason.

Thank you for this.
Your family timeline is similar to mine due to my father being older when I was born, he being the youngest of five, and his mother being one of the youngest of many siblings. I was born when my father was in his 50s, he was born in 1902 (lived until 1998), his parents (my grandparents) were born in 1862 and 1868 (died in 1936 and 1964), and his mother's father, my great grandfather (only one great), was born in 1826 during the John Quincy Adams presidency, and while John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still alive. It's hard for me to believe .my dad was born closer to the life of George Washington (103 years) than to today (121 years).
Thank you for this. My grandma was born in 1918 so seeing things near the time she was born fascinates me.

Woman throwing money to the poor made me really sad, how entertained she was like throwing food to animals. Pity its never changed ,very heart breaking 💔
I was thinking the same. Like tossing bread crumbs to pigeons!
I'm no psychic so I can't tell what her intentions were particularly within the context of the times. Joke not intended, but on the other side of the coin the kids seemed to have fun chasing after the coins.
In the era we live in now of masks and super sanitation we can be a tad judgemental but those poor children would have carried all sorts of diseases on their hands and parasites such as fleas carrying other bacteria that were best avoided. Even today, for that reason, a lot of people avoid contact with strangers children. During those times poor children knew this fact and people they harassed would throw coin to get them away.
Yeah I was literally thinking the same thing. So sad
I know right! I felt the same way....😔
Every soul from human to the dogs and beautiful horses in this video, are in the after life now...It really makes you think.
That’s what I was thinking.... like every living person and animal has passed on...
Hello beautiful, how are you doing?
@@captainthomascampbell4498 sir this is youtube, not match.com
@@partIycIoudy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
don't call them souls. the same is going to happen with us in future. they were alive when the video was captured so don't call them souls.
"showing life without technology" That is ridiculous. Movie cameras and film are technologies - as are every manmade objects shown in the movies.
4:42 She’s giving poor kids money the same way we feed Pigeons today😭😅
And people don't understand why the French have so many revolutions against their elites and politicians lol
This is in vn France colonies vn at that time and France very racist to they colonies 😡😡😡😡😔😔😔😔
Why is this footage so much clearer than every video of a ufo or other paranormal event these days? 😲
Or even a basic surveillance camera
@@xoxo1700s or even JFK assassination videos
@@HaveRandomQuestions yes exactly
The Watcher: Ever notice now that practically everyone now has an excellent camera with them in their cell phone, you don't see any videos or pictures of UFO's? Seems like the aliens are camera shy.

“Seeing a video is as easy as going to a cinema and buying a ticket”
*laughs in 2020*
Right wtf is he talking about
Watch as Corona passes @0:24 haha
The poor in the 1890s and early 1900s couldn't afford to buy a ticket only the middle class could afford the price of a ticket to watch a moving pictures
almost 2021 im so lucky i born 2007 not 1890s-1920s and the better is 1960s
@@555tonyleon he’s saying going to the movies and buying a ticket is difficult during 2020, because of covid.
These are films, not videos.
Audio = sound video = picture
4:42 she's giving them money in the same way animals are given food. Thrown on the ground. Sheesh.
And those children are so small and skinny...
She tossed money, tRUMP threw paper towels…or was it toilet paper?
She should be ashamed of herself looking up from hell
Not much has changed in that sense, except the wealthy are less likely to spare any changed at all.
@@XueYangbaby that's how it was, it was normal for both sides back then
That has got to be the best thing I have seen in like forever. I could imagine being at each of those places. Really changes my ideas on history especially seeing the dangerous trains, and the juxtaposition of horse and buggy with a few autos dangerously waving in and out of traffic.You could get the vibe of the people at each of the places. Everyone dressed as sharp as tacks if at a place where it was customary. Thanks! I just subscribed.
It’s wild to realize that all these people, every single one you see, the adults and the kids, have all passed away...
Man man... That were a long long time ago
Not only have they all passed away, most of their graves are likely to be long forgotten and neglected by now. They are those graves that you see in the really old part of a cemetery, with the inscription barely visible.
Lol dude, we are still mulling over graves and inscriptions from 3000years ago. 😂 they are not forgotten. Just in their beginning stages and new life being departed from this earth/world. ❤️❤️❤️
Some of them might me alive-
And cameraman
My great grandad died when I was 14. He was 94 being born in 1877. The light bulb, the automobile and the airplane were invented during his lifetime and he lived to see man land on the moon.
how old are you ?
@@robfoster8777 66
Excellent video I really enjoyed this! Thanks for work you put in for this video!
Enjoyed this! What a precious record. I noticed how everybody wore suits, vests white shirts, hats, and generally, nicer clothes than today, even most kids. Cheers.
1:27 even these guys had better camera footage then whoever records ufos
Camera quality in 18-1950 was much better than digitalized cameras of today, yes
reddit?
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! 👽👽👽
Brilliant comment 😉
Lol yes you are right
Reminds me of a graveyard inscription of which this is one version:
"Remember me as you pass by.
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you must be.
Prepare for death and follow me."
Seize the day - they don't last forever.
Ooh I like that; it's both slightly creepy and yet profoundly perfect.
Terry that's a Very Good Quote !!! and Yea all were doing Here is Running out the Clock !!! My Dad Told me when i was a Kid, Live by the Golden Rule, and you'll be Rewarded Someday !!! Well im almost 75, so will see, if this was a true Statement, I Hope he was Right !!! Like the Quote from Mark Twain >>> Some folks go to Heaven, for the Climate, and the others Go to Hell, for the Company !!!
@@lynseychinnery5707 It is, isn't it!
@@rogerhegemier8491 Haha! I love that too! Thanks. Greetings from sunny Scotland.
Oh shit thats very wise and exactly reflecting my feeling when i was watching this video how all those ppl had lived and passed away and every single one of them has a story ...
These were not videos.
They are film documentaries of that
Time.
Videos digital did not exist.
This is, in a way, more fascinating to watch in 2021 than it might have been some 115 years ago. This was a period of affluence, but unknowingly headed towards the Great War of 1914. It makes one wonder, where are we unknowingly headed today?
WW3.
We experienced that with corona it was a world wide event that never been in the whole humanity history
All the world countries or major cities shut down and went into a curfew so in my book this world wide event
isn't anything less than the world wars it killed people all around the world it hurt the world economy etc.
Judging by the current events, it's a strong possibility
Nuclear apocalypse
The Great reset, if the Luciferians have their way...
5:32 the kid laughing while I started laughing at people getting sprayed with water. Even though we're 120 years apart we both like seeing people getting sprayed down.
And that is what makes us humans beautiful in our own ways
They lived their lives to the fullest. We have become so scared of anything that the only safe place we find is to stay behind a screen and watch others live.
Have you? Who exactly does "we" include?
@@Automat1cJack People of today's present time, especially during this pandemic. Although the world is slowly regaining its vigor, with the virus still looming above our heads, it can still be very frightening for the normal people.
It's not about being scared.... Technology has come that far that entertainment is available at your fingertips so when you have everything you need at home why leave the house?
Ok boomer

i like that for a few moments color starts to wash into the frames. it brings them more into the present with out loosing their time. thank you
So captivating. I can look at old pictures and movies like these all day.
Yes. Just remember that they aren't "videos", as the title incorrectly states.
@@sandgrownun66 I really don't care if there is a minor discrepancy in terminology when we are given the opportunity to see unusually old film. Critics are a dime a dozen. Content creators are valuable.
@@45CaliberCure "minor discrepancy". What, like calling a cat a dog? "Content creators are valuable." Even the ones that recycle widely available footage and present it in a misleading way?
Video is a modern thing. This is film. Early tlevision was filmed off the monitors by film cameras. Video tape came around in 1950s...The analog video tape recorder was commercially introduced in 1951.
Thank you Fred. Why does this guy insist on calling them "videos"?
@@donaldciccone235 Modern laziness, historical sloppiness. The usual truncation due to the tendency now to ignore details, precise information, and, perhaps, ignorance of the subject. Or it is like calling all adhesive strips, band-aids. Why in the world do folk not feel black and white is powerful and does feel just as valid as color (which is all supposition and conjecture, anyway...
@@luckyshow my dude its kinda the same thing. Both are just pictures in motion
@@RealityGreenYT NO it is NOT "the same thing"- your ignorance is showing!
@@luckyshow Oh so true. Calling these "videos" comes from the ignorance of youth about anything before this modern era. If this RUclips video told them the images were in black and white because that was the actual colour of the world back then they would probably believe it. I was watching the 1959 Ben Hur with a 20 year old and during the sea battle scenes he said "Good graphics!". Their world is so limited and closed around them in little bite size chunks that a wider context is falling by the wayside. It's as if access to so much information on the web is not leading to greater knowledge but greater ignorance because their attention is filled with teaser trailers and top 10 lists of reality.
