[4k, 60 fps] San Francisco, a Trip down Market Street, April 14, 1906

- Опубликовано: 8 апр 2020
- Upscaled with neural networks trip down Market Street, San Francisco, 1906. This film was shot on April 14, 1906, just four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire which killed an estimated 3 000 people and destroyed over 80% of the city of San Francisco. It was produced by Harry, Herbert, Earle, and Joe. Harry J.
This is actually a staged shoot, so it's not actual traffic from that time:
- The film records a total of thirty cable cars, four horsecars, and four streetcars. At first, there also appear to be many automobiles; however, careful tracking shows that almost all of the autos circle the camera many times-one of them ten times. This traffic was apparently staged by the producer to give Market Street the appearance of a prosperous modern boulevard with many automobiles.

Yup lol

Lmao
Imagine someone reading your comment after 👀 120 years later 😳
Can’t stop thinking that every single person in this film is no longer on this earth. Footage like is such a historical treasure for mankind.
There is a very slim chance that one of the babies you see in the footage is still alive, but extremely old, unlikely but possible.
@@jetblackonyx5985 How so? If one of the babys would still live up to this day, it must be at least 114 years old. The chance is not very slim, it's very, very, very, very slim :D
@@Nookiezilla there are people who have lived to 130, but very very very very slim is still not impossible :)

Absolutely fantastic reproduction! This film was was first shot on April 14, 1906, just four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire, to which the negative was nearly lost. It was produced by moving picture photographers the Miles brothers: Harry, Herbert, Earle and Joe. Harry J. Miles hand-cranked the Bell & Howell camera which was placed on the front of a streetcar during filming on Market Street from 8th, in front of the Miles Studios, to the Ferry building. A few days later the Miles brothers were en route to New York when they heard news of the earthquake. They sent the negative to NY, and returned to San Francisco to discover that their studios were destroyed.
The origin of the film was an enigma for many decades, and it was long thought to have been shot in September of 1905, after being dated as such by the Library of Congress based on the state of construction of several buildings. However, in 2009 and 2010, film historian David Kiehn, co-founder of Niles Film Museum in Niles, California, dated the film to the spring of 1906 from automobile registrations and weather records. Kiehn eventually found promotional materials from the film's original release and dated the film to April 14th, 1906, and finally gave credit to the filmmakers, the Miles Brothers.
thts my birthday
Thank you
Where can the Miles brothers be reached today? Did they rebuild their studio(s) in San Francisco? Be great if they had narrated this.
@@nebula1924 The Miles Brothers (Harry J., Herbert, Joseph, and Earl C.) were pioneers in American cinema. In 1902, they established one of the first motion picture exchanges in the United States. They are long long gone
@@rogerrrubin This footage can't be from 1906.Nice Story though.Whoever dated it to 1906 and said it was shot right before the devastating earthquake is most likely wrong since you can clearly see the Hoffman Cafe & Grille building on 619 Market St which is seen on the right at 07:12 .It was only built in 1913.
I love how chaotic it is and yet somehow it manages to flow so freely! It must be so liberating being able to go wherever and however you want like that on the street without having to obey traffic lights/ pedestrian crossings etc.
now insurance companies and lawyers keep score.
Liberating, moving at 10 miles per hour, still having more accidents than modern traffic.

True enough.
We should leave some comments to creep them out. But I can't think of any
@@space_samurai How about: "Sorry that there aren't any trees, plants, animals and clean water anymore."
Wonder if there is a world war coming up. I wonder if they colonized mars and are mining asteroids, wonder if they have perfect virtual reality and true AI.
I think this planet does not reach more than 100 years
the sad part is we are in server some where in this world the moment that server blows up for any reason we are done all of our comments our pics our story in social media is done
When that footage was taken those people imaged were not thinking about 2020, nor even too much, if at all, about whether or not they would be surviving the 1910s. Someone then and there MIGHT think that an end of an entire Millenium celebration would be one hell of a party but that such is still a good 94 years off.
Looks like the way people drive in San Francisco hasn't changed one bit
The car traffic at the beginning of the film was staged to make it look there is more automobile traffic than there actually was.
@@cyberpotato63 yeah i also noticed that to many times the same cars with same people appeared xdd
The bad part is that four days later many would die in the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, they were ignorant of their own tragedy.

Mr. Shiryaev, I am writing a time travel story about returning to 1900 San Francisco. I have watched this clip many times and imagine walking the streets with these people.
Thank you Sir, cheers and warm regards.
Crossing the street was an adventure.
It would make people more aware now and days
What amazes me is how crazy people drove back then. In a lot of these videos, people just driver however and wherever they want, others be damned.
There is a guy at 5:47 on the right that almost get hit by a car
Papier De Toilette Man also at 7:21
@@DaBoaringDragon No driving lessons, tests or rules. No seat belts or air bags. Busy hospitals :) Lucky they weren't going fast.
It's funny how rich people owned a car back then while everyone else had a horse. Now everyone has a car and only rich people own a horse.
Horses of themselves aren't surprisngly that expensive. You can get good paddock horsies for like 500 dollars 1k. as always the issue is feed, shoes, etc.
Très bien pensé !
Robanz ZZ always that one guy
@@pacodeluciiaa just saying it as it is. they aren't that expensive to buy the issue is feed and etc. But if you have a good size paddock you can just have them eat the grass and give them a bit of lucerne as a treat. that just leaves medical bills shoes, coats and etc to pay for.
Robanz ZZ ig yea I wouldn’t kno yet since i live in nyc.. not much horse ownin goin on here
Just watched this with my 84 year old Mom, who’s from San Francisco - what a special way to experience this.
My great uncle worked on the Ferry Clock for decades, so it’s always neat to see.
My Mom says she remembers her grandmother talking about camping in Golden Gate Park after the earthquake.
Thank you for this wonderful work!
What always amazes me about these videos, is how there are absolutely no traffic laws whatsoever. Just people, hoses, cars, trolleys, and complete chaos. Yet everyone navigates flawlessly. Everyone seems to make it work with no apparent road rage. Lol. Just go when it’s your time to go or wait till an opening. These are so fun to watch.
Hard for there to be accidents when all the cars and trolleys are only moving about 10-15 MPH. No wonder there were so many deaths when they got faster, people tried doing this until it became so reckless and dangerous that crosswalks and traffic lights had to be invented.
@@aguy7848 That is BS. There are no accidents because back then people were allowed to think for themselves and responsible FOR THEMSELVES AS FREE MEN AND WOMEN. You totally missed the point. The absolute BEAUTY of freedom. VERY SAD. Sir... tyranny did not "have to be invented to protect anyone" in any way shape or form. It was thrust upon us by evil men shortly after this film by the FED (and bankers) in 1912 and grew into the draconian 1984 society we now live in. It is people like you who keep us this way because you cannot 'see' what is on the screen right in front of you.... BEAUTIFUL MORAL HUMAN FREEDOM.

That video camera is literally a time machine for all those people into our world today and vice versa. I love the kids excited by being on camera. They are dead now, but waving to the future Post mortem. They had no idea we’d be now watching them that day. Magical.
Yes, I agree with you too!!! No one of these persons would imagine that they will be seen more than one hundred years after, and from the Internet! And unfortunately, most of these people died days after when the earthquake came...
Thank you! was tryin to explain that to some people, they didnt see anything magical in it! thks
They might have died 4 days later during the earthquake
PBS had a documentary on in the 1980s "The Time Machine." A history of photographs.
they had no idea we're in a worse situation than them despite modern tech, Magical yeah
A viewer asked if any of the buildings in this video remain today. Yes, there are a few: at around 1:36 the massive Flood Building is on the left, at the corner of Market and Powell streets. On the right, the tall domed building in the near distance is the Call Building, although its exterior was re-clad in the 1930's and the dome covered up. It is now the Central Tower. Of course, the building at the very end of Market street is the Ferry Building, still going strong after all these years. At around 5:07, to the right are the columns of the front of the Call Building. Just beyond on the right the whitish building is the Hearst Building, which was destroyed in the fire but re-built in (generally) the same style as the one seen in the video. Just between the Hearst Building and the Palace Hotel (which was destroyed in the fire and was rebuilt) is the Monadnock Building, which was under construction at the time. Also at 5:07, on the left side of the street, the building that appears to be somewhat diagonal to the viewer is the Chronicle Building. It is, unfortunately, rather obscured in shadow. Kudos to Denis Shiryaev for an exceptional job in taking some pretty grainy black-and-white footage and restoring it to near HD quality.
You know what's sort of a shame? We don't really do much restoration up here in Seattle, WA. If you did a 1920 video it simply would not have a single building except for maybe one or two in Pioneer Square. The city would be unrecognizable. I wish there were more restoration projects on old buildings. One of my favorite things about Italy is seeing all the old architecture, and then stepping inside to what feels like a brand new modern home.
@@PalpitoMcCray Region where I'm from Emilia Romagna there were a lot of abandoned villa in the countryside constructed in late 1800 and some even earlier than that, old landowners had used the ownership of those houses to build a new one maybe like 100 meter far away from the old one. So the old villa wasn't just inhabitable because of the condition but also because it wasn't allowed. In early 90s local government decided to give permission to live in those villa again only upon restoration and no change in the aesthetics were allowed only renovations ! now 30 years later it's incredible how beautiful the landscape has become with those villa back in their old splendor.
Worked in the Hearst building , the position of the Hearst building never changed when the renovated/rebuilt it
WTF. Did anyone at all notice at the end of the film at the terminal hub the year the building was erected ?????? WTF 896 ?????? WTF
I love videos of old street scenes & this one is my favourite. Ive watched it over a few times now & I never get tired of it. Fantastic work bringing this beautiful little piece of history back to life.
My grandfather always told me stories from his childhood (he was born in 1896) when he saw a car for the first time and couldn't understand that the carriage drove without horses! I could watch these films by the hour! Great more of this. Friendly greetings from Germany !
Imagine having to take a drivers test in 1906.
Instructor : Ok please parallel park between that kid and horse please.
There were no driving instructors back in 1906. People just taught themselves how to drive, or from driving horse & buggies. It was probably their first horseless carriage.
@@timmartin7664 Lol bud I knew there wasn’t a driving test...it was a joke
@@xAl3216 Kind of sad how so many people today take every word another person says as literal; without troubling themselves to give one moment's thought about those words put together in context. Frankly it bores the hell out of me!
😂 😂 😂 😂 Hilarious
Well shit, at-least they weren’t running into each other,😂😂 people take drivers tests today and can’t drive for shit. But before someone goes nuts on me ik the circumstances are different, it’s hard to crash with these compared to the cars today that go to 100mph in seconds
4:37 I love watching old videos and seeing people do this (the guy waving). This guy was just having an average day, and now thousands of people are watching him wave 114 years later.
I thought they held their hand up like for a taxi or for it to stop
the kid on the back of the car at 10:44 waves right at the camera!
It's the definition of Magic! One feels utterly transported back to that Time and back again...
Yes it’s incredible! And better than the guy in the old English footage that gave the finger to the camera 😄
and it is a bit creepy because all this people are dead now...
Thank you, Dennis, for creating and providing such compelling viewing. I am truly hooked on your work.
Thank you Denis you have incredible videos of this time period and this before the San Francisco earthquake.....I also love the feel with the sounds how it felt so serene in those days....thank you so much!
I showed this to my history teacher and he won’t stop watching your videos 😅 keep it up!
Brotochip 😂😂
Sounds like your history teacher has learned something
Crossing a street must have been a big event back then.
SUPERΔRTIFICIΔL I’m pretty sure there were gays and homeless people there too in that time lol
AWESOME! 😆
More than 100 years passed and everything's so different, except for fact that men's suit will never go out of fashion.
The lady hats are the same ones church ladies wear today, especially older ones.
Yeah but now men’s suits are not worn every day in the city. Back then EVERYONE wore the same god dam suit.
Leon Müller I Love it, very elegant and honorable, look how people dress today, men dress like women and women are half naked, morals and ethics are lost. Those old days had many good aspects and elements that don’t exist nowadays
Man from the Orient
What exactly is honorable about wearing dark clothes? Also where do you live that men dress like women?
At least where I live men do not wear dresses.
I agree that women should not wear hot pants and similarly short clothes. But that is their choice and if they want to wear such revealing clothes they should be allowed and able to do so.
Leon Müller Do you think it’s more masculine and honorable to wear destroyed skinny jeans as a man? At least those men dressed like a real man and looked elegant and like gentlemen.
Who says women shouldn’t be allowed to be naked or half naked? It’s just a worrying development as there are studies which prove that women are seen as sexual objects nowadays. And it isn’t their choice, it’s forced upon them by marketing and by those who set the clothing standard.
Denis, this was amazing. To me, the enhancements really add to this historical film. Thanks
Amazing to see San Fransisco just four days before that tremendous earthquake hit it.
The 60 frames per second really is what makes these old films so realistic feeling. I've always have looked at old films and seeing them as a moving painting. But these upscaled high fps videos really make it seem like I am present in the scene.
Yea it is incredible how this has been cleaned up and restored. You literally feel like you are almost present at this time or have taken a time travel trip. I can watch this over and over and over .
@@jckhammer Me too. I'll never get sick of it. I'm so happy other people feel the same way. :)
I am present in those scenes.
Like time machine ! :)
I agree with you on that one. Every time I watched old videos it looked like fake man made scened play rather, than a reality. But when you watch this video, it makes you feel those people on the video and you realize that it was real and people there are real.
exactly.....I feel like I am there... living in that era....
They thought they eliminated the poop in the streets once the horses were gone.
ha ha, cool to see your hear posting. Cheers!
They never counted on democrats running the state and cities in california.
Honestly you can blame Heroin, you can blame politics.
But what if there is someone with bowel issues just walking down the street in DTSF? They have no public bathroom options. I don’t care how much you hate drug addicts and or homeless people. Make public restrooms available again. What is different between ramifications of public restroom OD and one on the middle of the street? Seriously
If India has taught us anything its that poop is not very synonymous with a country / nation / even city desire for educated masses. It’s just a shitty thing that’s barely thought about by the person doing so. They just are releasing a physical desire in the only place they can. Please make more restrooms in SF!

Amazing. Amazing. I live here now and have travelled Market Street many many times. The last shots were astonishing. Well well done!! What strikes me is how "chaotic" everything and everybody is, but that it all works. Nowadays we are all structured and constricted and everything is a mess!
380,000 people in SF back then also , Bakersfield and Honolulu are that size . SF Density now is a WHOPPING
18,000 per sq. mile
I never realized just how built up San Francisco was when the quake hit. And how many streetcars ran! It's so interesting how the pedestrians act with the wheeled traffic moving so slowly. So different from our fast, fast world. That last snippet was chilling to see.
Does it really make sense the this buildout could happen inside 60 years with the technology supposedly available back then?

@@joedirt6073 Read about the history of construction. Sure there weren't electric power tools but they did have STEAM equipment - tractors to pull heavy loads, cranes and pulleys to lift things, and so on. Steam drills even figure in a folk song of the time, The Ballad of John Henry. You can look it up.
Think about it for more than two seconds ... how were huge projects like the transcontinental railroad accomplished? How were ocean-going ships built? How were massive bridges and tunnels constructed? This era was only 3 or 4 lifetimes ago. People weren't living in caves, they were educated and experienced, maybe not the same way we are but certainly not any less capable or intelligent.

Wow, just 4 days before a massive earthquake, makes you realize how fragile and short life truly is.
Yeah. I wonder how many of those same people didn't make it.
@@fuzzamajumula That's pretty hard to think of personally for me. So many people who would never know how far we've come.

@@user-hk1vi9pz9s well the oldest person alive currently is Kane Tanaka born in 1903, although she was 2 years old during the time in this video, she lived through it all, and she managed to live through the pandemic too, which is so crazy to me. She’s 118 years old and currently holds the worlds Guinness record for the oldest person alive. And to mention, she lived through the Spanish flu in 1918, that killed millions. And now she’s living through Covid and still is alive and being well taken care of in some place far from outsiders I hope.
I think it’d be awesome to be that old, but it sounds really terrible, I wonder how lonely she feels, all your children would die of old age before you. Kane Tanaka’s children did die all before her, 3 died in the early 1940s when they were in their 20s, and the other 2 probably died of old age. Her grandchildren take care of her I think and they look like their grandparents themselves.
@@user-hk1vi9pz9s The chance for an average Californian person to die in a world war was extremely low. Especially in WW1

They seem to be driving anyway they want. I dont think the concept of left or right hand side driving was invented back then. Nor were the traffic-police. Changing your mind and do a U-turn in the middle of the road seem to be perfectly fine.
Thank God for traffic signals
Don't need rules when moving at 1 mph
Its still worse traffic than this in India

Cool stuff. I've experimented with upscaling of video frames many years ago (batch upsize, add noise, some of my DTP secret sauce, downsize) but this is very next level video restoration. Nice to know some new tools has been developed. Thanks. Cheers!
I'm baffled as to how there was not a single traffic accident in the entire video :D
My thoughts exactly.
Because there was no phones LOL
I thought the same, however the description says it was staged, so I’m equating that they had marks.

The fastest vehicles were only going about 15mph, that’s why
Random guy on the street thought: "Maybe a neural network can process my appearance in about 114 years, so i look better."

Fantastic job! This looks incredible. What an awesome piece of history from over 100 years ago.
I just watched the old un-restored footage of this and the difference is truly astonishing. Denis, your many hours of work have created something truly compelling. Thank you for this. Kudos.
Oh ya real astonishing. Letting an AI work out almost all of it. I wonder if people know that colored automobiles existed in 1906, and before. Reds, light blue, yellow, white obviously, darker rich greens and reds, a magenta, a spring green, light pale opal yellow (for 1906 Oldsmobile) color chart. Dark channel green (black green iridescent basically). Truly a whole world of colors, and astonishing efforts and works. So much beauty that you need a camera with real spectrum Kodachrome color to see. The first camera was 15 years after this in 1921 when Kodachromes were established. My grandfather purchased a brand new 1906 Oldsmobile sedanette for my grandmother, in a mahagony iridescent red. Advert green, and piccolo blue. You won't hear that any where else, as I had the catalogue color chart that came with the dealership.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar That color chart would be a big help to those trying to colorize video from back then.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Colour automobiles existed, as long as the colour is black. According to Ford anyway. But yeah, the colorization just makes everything black. Very visible in clothing in other videos.
@@StrazdasLT up until mid 1925 (for the new 1926 Models noticably more attractive..Ford played on peoples emotions by making his automobile the most popular because no one expected him to add color back to his silent movie of an automobile) Ford stayed in a black only pallete aside from 1913 and before. His funny little motto for the vastly overated novel-t model-t. After that Ford had 6 colors, Dark yellow beige or more formally known chief ochre, deep channel green as listed, Phoenix brown, Gunmetal Blue iridescent, Double deep black, Fawn Gray, Royal Maroon.
Compare that to Nash in 1926
-Admiral Blue
-Oriental red/indigo turquoise
-Sage green
-Colonial yellow
- Regent maroon
- poly clover gold
- forest green
- electric green
- SEAMAN gray (not to be confused with...)
And that was the basic model, the Deluxe Seaman, and thoroughbred 400 had mint green in 1925-6.
Not everything was all black and white, few movies were even color. They were what was to the 1910s early sound movies.
@@StrazdasLT ah and you'll like this.
Real, no B.S. color from cinecolor productions in 1931, This is what you've always wanted. It is in Los Angeles showcasing the city. Another is in 1935, I'll that if I can. They are priceless. The city looks so much more alive than in black and white, might even find yourself wanting to live then.

...
This one's almost better (I hold anything nearing the 1920's as being purely priceless so it will always take the cake as the finest and hardest example to discover) with rich vibrant pallets...except the obvious elephant of the room or great hall, being that dark hues totally obstructed the view of color, in Kodachrome and technicolor alike..the dark palletes are completely black or dark blue-red and hard to tell apart. The lighter vehicles are seen with ease, specifically the blue bus. Youll also notice I take it, the variety of metallic automobile as well. That mid matte shimmer that doesn't quite look opaque was called pewter gunmetal and or "poly", or if your the 1950's: iridescent. Last thing you'll notice, automobile were not slow back then, this film is almost exactly to correct pace if not the people travelling and moving just a hair too quick, and I mean half a hair you hardly notice it.
I would travel back in time and just walk around the city and observe.
I would be playing with people's minds, "You have no idea what's coming in the next couple of decades."
I would be like whassup guys welcome to my new vlog and here is our sponsor Raid Shadow Legends in 1906
i thought the same :)
Smart enough to build time machine and enjoy in past🤔🤔
With luggage
Three and a half million views as of 1/16/22. I suspect some of you already have a version of a time machine just about completed in your basements. When you get your contraption working, let's all meet for lunch at the Hoffman Cafe & Grill on April 14, 1906 and compare notes. After steak and eggs and a nice beer, let's step outside the street and wave at the trolley with the cameraman as it heads down to the Ferry Building. Heck, some of us might already be in this amazing film. Thank you Denis!
This is beyond amazing. Thank you for this experience, I loved watching the guy in front camera. I was hooked. Started calling him 'my little guy' and was cheering for him and everything. When he hopped into the random carriage I saw his idea and waited till he reappeared in that carriage. I watched as they raced to the other end of the street, and when the carriage turned off. I waited for my little guy to reappear in font of the camera till it got to the end. When it spun around to face the way is came I was in awe of how it all looked. Then when it showed the four (4) days later I gasped because we don't know if my little guy survived.
Again thank you so much for this experience.
people watching a camera on a cable car just like we stare at google maps streetview 360 camera.
😂😆✌️🎩🤣👏
Some things never change
damn, that´s really accurate! :D
I'm one of you.
This is the closest thing to time travel for me. Its really revealing how seeing everything in color makes the past seem like its much closer to us than seeing this in black and white. Though that traffic was something else. In a hundred years or so some people from the future might watch the same kind of footage of San Francisco from 2020.
if the Earth still exist
2120..
Nobody films any 2020 street footage today like they did back then, because film was something new. Now we take it for granted and do not care anymore about preserving stuff for the future.
It says in the description that the traffic was staged
If you want to look at videos like this but in modern day check out Nomadic Ambience. Tons of high quality videos.
I wish i had a time machine & i could travel back in time to experience what my relatives went through. I just love watching these remaster clips of the old days.
This footage is a priceless keeper for me. I grew up in S.F. in the 40's & 50's. All the boy's hitching rides reminds me of the movie Oliver! A Million Thanks!!!
I went to Google Maps and found, on street view, the building at the end (The Ferry Building) still standing today. Amazing. I could even see the "Erected 1896" sign. It's still there. From 114 years ago. Wow!
No.... It was from 124 years ago.....even more WOW!!!
Quite impressive, esp. for americans. Where I live, the major's office is inside a medieval chateau in the middle of our village. It was build in 1557 and is still in use, even along with the old Bakehouse with furnace
@@SurrealGigabyte I suppose your chateau took much longer to build then just one year. Everything was done by hand in those days. So it was finished in 1557 but may have taken 10 years or so to build. You should look into that....
@@thommysides4616 I just looked it up, in fact it was build from 1557 to 1558

That’s the ferry building. Yeah lots of buildings in San Francisco are over 100 years old. Would have been more hadn’t the earthquake happened.
the traffic rules were impressive....
No u
It was lawless! ..The good ole days
(Minus antibiotics n racism n stuff)
1906 and automobiles were relatively new. I doubt there were a lot of laws in place at that time.
Also everything was very slow. The kids could easily overtake a car. Imagine if we’d only drive 6-8 km/h nowadays... 0 deaths, no damages more than a few scratches... but the downsides overweigh... the people back than often didn’t come around more than just a few dozend kilometers.
What traffic rules? 😉
How long does it take to upscale videos like this? Amazing work!
I like that the cars go around the camera to give the impression that they had many cars in the city.
Closest thing to time traveling that we have available today.
Manufacturer first that's the advantageous
Yup
WTF. Did anyone at all notice at the end of the film at the terminal hub the year the building was erected ?????? WTF 896 ?????? WTF
I think we are in the year 2500.. but we are in the simulated world of 2022.
In order for the watchers to learn how to fix the future. You know.. with all the acid rain and stuff in 2500
@@privateprivate1865 I think you should lay off taking illegal substances
According to the clocks on the Ferry Building this film was recorded from about 3:03 to 3:16 in the afternoon and the newsies had just gotten a new stack of afternoon papers.
Thank you for uploading this ❤️ fascinating!
I love their genuine expression and curiosity of a reaction!
I'm from the Bay Area, first time I saw a somewhat rough cut of this video, whenever I go down to Market Street this image comes to my mind and thought about these people who, in one time have walked my city's streets. Makes you think how mysterious life could be. It gives me the chills man.
Im not from SF but watching this hi res video so many times inspires me to at least make a trip to market street and imagine this if i took a train ride
@Mac Johnson you're talking about the Ohloni Indians
@Mac Johnson you know the natives could not dig a well right?
Previously, there was a PayPal link here for donations (I mentioned it in my videos), but today I decided that I morally can't justify asking anyone to support this channel during the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, I have removed the PayPal links from all videos on the channel until the end of the pandemic.
Please stay safe and be prepared for a long haul 💖 take care of yourself and the people around you because we have a long way to go yet.
congrats on the 114 year anniversary today
Stay safe too and thank you for restoring such fascinating historical videos. When we're long dead, folks will watch 360 or drone videos of our empty streets during the "great 2020 pandemic" and wonder what our lives were like. I bet they'll be up-scaled into a holographic simulation that we can't even imagine...
Wow - I appreciate the sentiment, but I disagree with you personally. A lot of us are still working and getting paid and are eager to spread the wealth to those that might need it and to those that are (through things like this) helping us through this stressful time.
In any case - your work is absolutely spectacular.
Fantastic. I'd love to see what you could do with an original scan of the film, and maybe a crowd sourced colorization project! 😃
Увидел тебя на тиджее, подписался. А можно ли делать раскраску видео на основе нескольких кадров из этого же видео, раскаршенных профессионально человеком, и потом с помощью ИИ раскрасить остальное видео на основе палитры из этих професиионально раскрашенных кадров ?
Their hand crafted woodwork is unbelievable!! No words can describe it
A history diamond...Thank you all four!
Dude you did it!!! (I was the one who requested it and sent you a link to the source footage) Thanks so much!
Find more lol! 😂
No u didn't.
SpockBoy do you live in San Francisco I live 25 mins away!
@@B8R8 Nope , live in Canada. Always loved San Fran in movies like Bullitt, and Vertigo.
JacobLZP 😎😎
Simply AMAZING!! You have literally transported each of us RUclips viewers to a moment in time that only lived in our great grandparents memories......everything seems so distant, yet seems so familiar watching this video.
How amazing is it that this was recorded only a few days before the famous earthquake of 1906. A very special time capsule in video.
EXCELLENT! - Thanks for posting! 😃
dude, these are my favourite thing to watch on RUclips at the moment, find them fascinating, thank you for this! Where do you get the source footage? Library?
p.s what is that dude thinking at 5:49
Seems like he was going run away from the car, but then the car turned in the direction he was about to run towards.
The source was from Guy Jones' Channel on this youtube platform. As mostly of footages were uploaded at on black and white color format. In which those videos were coded by the originalty its form.
@@mrsilence666 yup, seems so.
@@charltongioprepena9325 and so the rabbit hole goes deeper, where did they get it from? The source cannot be RUclips compadre.
This camera must've been huge, everyone is staring at it
They all knew about it, it was staged and they weren't supposed to look, but obviously many couldn't help it lol The kid waving probably got a spanking later ;)
@@angelsndaisies6188 no it wasn't staged. why would it need to be?
Even if it were shot on a camera the size of a phone, a novel cameraman would be acting odd enough for the time to draw attention
No, actually the cameras were even smaller than what they use today on standard motion motion picture sets. Can't you just say Hey Google and see for yourself before you post nonsense. It's takes 2 seconds. Not everything gets bigger or smaller through the years. It's a bit more complex than that. That's why you need to think. Try it sometime
@Han Lockhart But the video description says it was staged.
Thank you for the video. That's amazing!
Noto che di semafori ho vigili urbani manco l'ombra!!!!
Ma come facevano!!!!
Chissà quanti incidenti mortali!!!!
Bellissimo video complimenti!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful! And how many of these people would even dream that they might not be there the next week? These old films are a true treasure for professional historians or anyone who wants to take a trip into the past. Thank you.
My birthday is on April 14th, 1990... exactly 84 years before this video. Not even my grandparents were born yet... wow, just wow.
@LegallyBlindFrenchFry 🤣🤣
So you were born in 1822 and this video was made in 2074
Understandable, have a nice day.
Also your born 78 years before Meeeeee
Why on earth would over one thousand people not ‘like’ this. It is amazing and priceless.
Great piece of film. Fascinating how everyone and everything has right of way on the road/track/walkway! I wonder what the accident statistics were for this area at this time (9.00 was a close call). The driver at 11.13 cuts it fine as well. At first I thought he must have been a bit squiffy when he veered off to the left and suddenly decided to go right. Then I realised he was just trying to give himself room to manoeuvre! Certainly not a place to be lost in thought like the gent on the right at 13.05. Final frames are so poignant. Incredible footage. Thanks for uploading.
The first dashcam in history. I was waiting for those damn horse versus cable car crashes to start.
🤣😳🎩✌️
The horse carriage trying to squeeze between the two street cars.....unforgettable! 😂
peope were dressing much better than today ...
Beautifully done! Outstanding!
Lots of people making sure the camera sees them. ''I am here!". To us, is is bittersweet, here that they lived in is gone, as are they. For a brief moment though, film and pictures let us know that these folks felt the sun and the rain and were just as busy and caught up in their lives as we are in ours. We have a rare opportunity to peer into their world. I wonder what they would have thought of us, and the world they passed along to us? I am grateful for all the work that goes into giving us these glimpses. Thank you so very much :)
A few of the survivors lived into the 2000s so I’m sure they talked about it…
No traffic rules back in the day , the drivers did whatever they wanted to do,
Best of all no speeding tickets
Lol 😳
Dangerous to be a pedestrian
There is footage of Market Street after the earthquake, heading in the same direction,, taken by the same filmmakers. (A different RUclips channel said the cameraman's name was Earl Miles and he was assisted by his brother. So this is known as the Miles Brother's film.) It would be amazing to match up and the improve those images and then match them side by side so we could see a color before and after of Market Street in 1906.
I wish I could see the video you speak of
@@darringraham2613 - I'm having trouble finding the entire film. I read about it a couple of years ago. Here's links to two news story that shows a bits of the film. I'm finding lots of references to it when I do a Google search and a fair number of individual images, but not the entire film.

What I find remarkable is how well all these modes of transportation still coexisted and intermingled. They didn't need separate lanes for each, because carriages, motorcars, streetcars, horses, bicycles, and pedestrians were all roughly equals, with none of them vastly outspeeding or overpowering the others. There were still collisions, of course, but they weren't so likely to kill or cripple people as any incident involving a car is today.
It reminds of how people drive today on the streets of SF and the BayArea! Thank You! 🤙
Dennis, amazing work. Thank you for your incredible video restorations. One suggestion: although the music is very welcomed, perhaps it could be more time-accurate. Might want to look up most popular songs from early 1900s or something like that. Although blues was around, it wasn’t prevalent in San Francisco to my knowledge, and electric guitar wasn’t invented for close to 40 years from this. Having more accurate music from the era would make it even more immersive. Just a small suggestion. Thanks again and please keep them coming!
I noticed that as well yeah
or no music at all cud be good
Why would you cover the original 114 year old audio with music? It completely missed the point of the video IMO
Lawrence Lentini it’s not 114 year old audio. It was silent film back then. Any and all audio you hear was added for this RUclips video
@@thomasstogner4715 I wasn't aware of that.
Drivers: "I think I will go over there now."
Pedestrians: "I'm about to go over there now."
Horses: "Think I'll go there now."
Bicyclists: "Oh yeah, I am going over there now."
Trolleys: "I am coming from over there now."
Children: "I am going to run in front of all of you now."

Very interesting. Thanks so much for posting!
Bless you for doing this work!
Удивительное ощущение. Смотришь на людей, которых давно уже нет. А каждый куда-то ехал, о чем-то думал, мечтал, куда-то стремился. А мы смотрим на них, и тоже о чем-то думаем и мечтаем. И однажды станем историей и может на каком-нибудь видео через сто с лишним лет на нас посмотрят те, кто будет куда-то стремиться и о чем-то мечтать.
Да, это удивительно. У меня точно такие же мысли. Вроде бы каждый знает, что умрет и что до него жили и уже умерли миллиарды людей, но почему-то не помнит об этом в процессе своей жизнедеятельности.
Совершенно точно подмечено!
По сравнению со временем существования вселенной мы умирли на одном отрезки времени.
@@peterquill314 умИрли?
Да,я о том же подумал,но ещё на предыдущем видео про Нью-Йорк,вот там детишки смотрели в камеру,а возможно их уже и нет в живых,да скорее 100% нет..но ведь они прожили свою жизнь, кто-то умер на двух войнах и тд,но они даже не представляли,что когда-то через 100 лет на них будут смотреть миллионы людей и они хоть каким-то краем своего лица попадут в историю,а мб кто то из родных увидит или узнает или кто то заморочится и даже найдет историю парочки этих людей,которые есть тут на экране и ..чем черт не шутит))я бы хотел узнать хоть о ком то из этих людей..кто и как прожил эту скоротечную жизнь...
6:30 Someone is actually riding a horse on the left, that's awesome
The crazy thing is, no one bats an eye at him! Yet they are transfixed on the camera - nowadays it's the other way around, if you saw someone riding a horse in downtown SF it would be weird but no one cares about all the cameras.
Kawaii Stefan
It was normal back then, most of people had horses.
It was the Pony Express, racing to deliver an earthquake warning.
This is beautiful! I love seeing all the horses!
Truly amazing film and absolutely amazing work on the video thank you for sharing 👍😃
Little did they know 4 days later that a earthquake would cause chaos. April 18, 1906
Its not happening in san fierro
Home, at it was til the earthquake fucked everthang up
It looks like chaos now trying to navigate the streets! lol
Lol at the dude who jumped in front of the car 5:49
Busta!
This is as close to an actual time machine we are getting in our lifetime. I'm speechless watching this I'm gonna share with my friends this is amazing!
Too bad it was staged.
Wow that was the coolest!!! Thank you!
Shiryaev, spaceebo !! If you want to find more of these old city videos, you should know that in many American amusement parks in the 1950's and before, there were what was called "Penny Arcade". You would put in a penny or two into an old machine with a crank, and then look in the viewer and turn a crank and you would see old motion pictures of Chicago, NY and other cities from the old days. If you check with antique collectors, you may find that they have more reels of films of this type. Just search for Amusement Park "Penny Arcade" machines. Good luck and keep up the amazing work.
You can request next video for an upscale in this thread ✨
First steps on the moon
Do you have any of the footage from post-Earthquake San Francisco? Would love to see some of that upscaled in this manner as well!

There is a very popular video on RUclips called Berlin 1900 in colour. I would love to see that getting your treatment!
