I live in Leeds and I crossed that bridge today...the building which was formally the Yorkshire Water Authority Offices still stands just out of the city centre over the river Aire and even the window that this piece of film was shot still remains...I always think of this film and the people in it every time I come here.. Graham. Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK

[b1locat]

Where's Larry King?



[Izkzmach]

so films on that day was a something called "stop motion" today...no voice just moving pictures

[Yepprd]

LOL..when this started centering in I was hoping it would show a cellphone or laptop or something

[andresen3igear]

wow the 2nd oldest movie was taxed in slow motion...........

[Markelfarkel1]

They couldn't show the first film ever made because it was a porn film.

[toucansam3]

The sequel was much better "2nd Oldest Movie Ever Made Part II: Horsie's Revenge"

[binaway]

Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince was returning to France to see his family when he disappeared. He was last seen on a train in the company of a young lady. His wife in England was unable to register his patents as she held no legal right to do so. Edison's first projectors and camera bore more than a little resemblance to his work. His descendants, who reside in the USA, still have his equipment. This Frenchman was projecting images in a theater in Leeds before the Lumière brothers did in Paris.

[epilepsieful]

booo should have recorded it in hd :P

[americanhersheybar]

Somebody better build a time machine, quick.

[sharks445]

[OriginalYTName]

Copyright!

[Musicartsandcoffee]

Transport me back to this time period please, it'll be better than the world we know today.

[ArticulatingMadnessY]

@Musicartsandcoffee Not unless you're a property-owning white male adult Christian with a tiny dick.

[Supermassively]

@ArticulatingMadnessY Shut the fuck up, hippie.

[ArticulatingMadnessY]

@Supermassively Prove me wrong, douchebag.

[Supermassively]

@ArticulatingMadnessY There is no reasoning with a trollfag.

[drsunilsamratkamalla]

wow amazing



[ChosenWarrior11]

i love how people make terrible jokes about the second video ever made.....oh was it recorded with a calculator? hey jackass the first tv wasnt high definition.....GO FUCK YOURSELVES ! ! ..... BE RESPECTFUL CUZ IF IT WASNT FOR THIS, WE'D WOULD BE WITHOUT UR PRECIOUS TWILIGHT MOVIES

[ducksurprise]

This is such a film where one can expect to see Pennywise the clown at any moment, it scares me still :(

[geogodley]

FAIL cant see a thing

[chris323]

was this shot with an Iphone ????

[laksemann]

@chris323 Moron. They didn't have Iphones at that time (I think you know), and I wish we didn't have them today either. It's to much technology in this days, do we need it? No.It was so much better before when we did not have all this damn technology.People is addicted to technology, they can't live without they're fucking Iphones and stuff. We are going to kill ourselves and the world with all the technology. Unfortunately much more technology and shit will be produced.That fucking scares me!

[TIMOMUKKY]

@laksemann and me

[laksemann]

@TIMOMUKKY What?

[TIMOMUKKY]

@laksemann scare

[JackFSinging]

The thing is this was taken when Jack The Ripper was Killing Postitutes in London

[FreeBlago1]

Joan Collins at :24

[MichaelSarkizzian]

@FreeBlago1 lmfao

[paulmrussell12]

Second oldest surviving film*

[rosiebird123]

Still better than twilight.

[FontanaCinemas]

@gernomidy Well, reading your synopsis was more entertaining than the movie.

[FontanaCinemas]

@gernomidy OK Black Swan was great and True Grit was a lot of fun (opinion police alert) - but The Social Network??? What really happened, and why do I care? A guy starts a website and everyone likes it.

I don't know, I thought Social Network was a bunch of STUFF put on a screen with sound and movement, and everyone decided to call it a MOVIE. It's just STUFF on a SCREEN.

There's my opinion.

I'm not a troll, I promise.

[animal900]

I prefer Hi Def

[elvaelvirababe]

...And I look at my Hummer parked outside.

[oldfart387]

@gernomidy Only problem is the amount of crap you have to see to find the gems. Ok, loved the Toy Stories! Whenever a new one comes out, the grand-kids love going with Gramps to see them. Did see Inception, good action but very confusing. Had to watch twice to answer questions after the first. Sure, there have been some goodies, but I don't have enough time left to search them out. Would rather go fishing.

[oldfart387]

@gernomidy Have you watched any of the crap from Hollywood?

[NaruBren274]

well its better than COD

[worldofmetallicraft]

@NaruBren274

i didnt realize that COD was a movie

[mhopps91]

1888....Literally every single person who was alive when this was filmed is dead now.

[mime1926]

Filmed in October 1888..on Bridge street, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

I checked Google maps...couldn't find it.

(Four storey buildings)

[oldfart387]

That was much better than the crap that gets Oscars today.

[chicagogordon]

Didn't anyone just set up a bunch of single-shot cameras aimed in the same direction, fire them all off, then play them back in sequence?

[JoeMC7]

@chicagogordon Yes, in fact in 1878 Eadweard Muybridge's did exactly that. He performed this feat in Palo Alto, California. How do I know this? I happen to have the first book on silent film. Called "The Silent Cinema" 1965, revised 1968, by Liam O'Leary. Hope this helps.

[Megahammerheadshark]

They had film back then????!!!!!!

[bigsinnamon]

Racist asshole

[xGlennGJx]

this was 1080p back then xD

[madisonelectronic]

When whites were whites and niggers knew it.

[091053JG]

Jack the Ripper was in that film.

[FreeBlago1]

I think I saw Joan Collins at :28

[oldfart387]

@FreeBlago1 No, that was her little sister.

[BieberJustinl]

the ending was predictable

[ssd777]

Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (born 28 August 1842, vanished 16 September 1890) was an inventor who is considered by many film historians as the true father of motion pictures, who shot the first moving pictures on paper film using a single lens camera.

[ssd777]

In October 1888, Le Prince filmed moving picture sequences Roundhay Garden Scene and a Leeds Bridge street scene using his single-lens camera and Eastman's paper film. These were several years before the work of competing inventors such as Auguste and Louis Lumière and Thomas Edison.

[ssd777]

He was never able to perform a planned public demonstration in the United States because he mysteriously vanished from a train on 16 September 1890. His body and luggage were never found, but, over a century later, a police archive was found to contain a photograph of a drowned man who could have been him.

[puremaplesyrup22]

Works better then some people's calculators for cameras on here.

[xZippy38]

Better than The Godfather.

[maesimaesi]

@xZippy38 I agree

[ShizuokaDolphin]

Bit short.

[901MovieMaker]

Its belivable for sure

[urbanrossandich1]

screw HD the quality of this video is way better

[muiscnight]

i like how when the video ends that old ass man is staring at me doesnt help im watchin all these vids at night...

[JAMamation]

to think all the people in this are dead, and little did they realise they became a part of history. incredible.

[nicholasa739]

Why can't i watch this in 1080p?

[msms47]

u have to admit it the grafix are better than avatar !

[connorhobson1]

@msms47 i have to agree

[CodVFX]

thats some hd shit right there

[UncleMikeNJ]

You can tell it's Leeds, because of all the dirty tackles.

[TheRMSAndre1]

LAG.

[georgeh1231]

if we went to the victorian era and showed the people all our technology they would think we were withches and wizards

[HuskerSeaofRed]

what, no HD?

[ellitestar]

I think keith Richards was a young boy in this movie...

[bettydaw1970]

left center -the hooker rules it!!!

[fluxpedia]

Better quality than a mobile phone

[LokiV]

Jack the Ripper was around then

[fightingmarine100]

the video was made in 1p for real

[plusbabs]

The book was better!

[ruseriouslike]

Wait a second...is that a starbuck's in the background!?!?

[pb4lyf]

Still better than 127 hours.

[Nermy2Dope]

Soon as cameras were made, the government started watching the people from street lights.....at diff speeds.....

[royalsteven]

What a boring time this must have been. People only thought in black and white -__-

[germanpivotboy]

@flute1234 lol

[flute1234]

Can i get this in 1080p?

[SuccessAutoBody00]

@weldon0m are you a retard? where do you see a car???? you must be a retard.

[centralviva]

being an 80's kid ruled

[spagitte]

Wow it was so old that every thing you saw was in black and white

W..w..what it's the camera ohhhh

[MrBlRD]

I was the guy riding the wagon close to the camera. That day was black and white.

[jimmy10798]

damn this shit is old...

[CarterStanB]

1888, the same rear Jack the Ripper struck. He might even be in this film.

[AlmoOsT14]

Press 1911, better video :D

[sweet58441]

I couldnt imagine having to get around via a horse, I think im going to go for a drive and remember how lucky i am to be alive in this time period

[MegaAstrodude]

This is a priceless piece of history.

[SMGJohn]

This was filmed in the 80s and we're living in the early 10th now

[Fallout3NexusModding]

@SMGJohn  21st century. not 10th. I hate little kids

[SMGJohn]

@Fallout3NexusModding I didn't write "century" behind now did I!? Damn your even younger then me! that means you must be a BABY!

[MsSprinkles7]

[Superflykid2008]

I love the 80s :) 

[Indietony]

[sedona05]

Really cool. Think of all those people's lives back then. With all if their thoughts & dreams. Awesome!!! Thanks for posting:)

[FBGMania]

I can still remember my whole family back in the late 1800's. You don't even wanna know how many "lickins" i got from my Pa back then

[BrownsSuckGoSteelers]

@FBGMania you were alive back in the late 1800s??

[FBGMania]

[LatvianMixer]

[6023Nath]

[Nighthawk5210]

Jack the Ripper was roaming around London back in 1888, weird to see a film from that time period.

[LynxCoding]

@Nighthawk5210 It really is.

[OnFight1997]

Best Graphics ever? Shuted my pc down. :o

[zliminator]

[RobloxFreak122]

And the best motion picture film goes to...

[DetroitLove4U]

Personally worth a week's paycheck! Spectacular!!!

[immortalfilm]

Anyone now what frame rate this was shot at ?

[Cyanesence]

[burkeydaturkey]

what device was around in 1888 to play it back on?

[TheDDGamerTrailers]

10p HD (Won Award for best picture for the year 1888)

[spirmessi]

if you like to see the cinema history watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy.

[KScarlett777]

WOW 1888!!! That's really cool, thank you!

[BeastlySeth]

Shitty quality.

[Tammylita]

@BeastlySeth ...Shitty quality? It's 1888.

[spacecowboy5000]

@BeastlySeth They hadn't gone digital yet - since it was 1888!!!

[phoenixSCM]

why cant i watch this in 720p HD ?

[hallowedbeeddie]

the word amazing gets used all too often, but I must say that this really deserves to get that title.

MIND BLOWN

[9N8X]

I remember this. Boy do I miss being a kid.

[capricorncoool]

@9N8X SHUT UP ! :O

[88dragons88]

@9N8X Really?

[JakesNotDrinking]

@9N8X ....Then you're like 120 years old.

[9N8X]

@JakesNotDrinking

It's called a joke....

[surgednb]

@9N8X lmao...

[maesimaesi]

@9N8X hahaha

[Mysterious0Bob]

England is part of the UK?

WELL THANKS ANNOTATIONS

[sk8brdr27]

wheres the sound dammit :-\

[0Blue0Sparkle]

@sk8brdr27 it was made in 1888. Sound in movies/films didn't appear until the 20s

[sk8brdr27]

@0Blue0Sparkle Nuh-Ah, No, Really?

[0Blue0Sparkle]

@sk8brdr27 you never know who you'll meet on the internet ;)

[sk8brdr27]

@0Blue0Sparkle True dat

[C3P0meetsData]

How did they advertise for movies like that back then? I mean, they couldn't have made movie trailers because no one had a television?

[archiemaggette]

i wonder how those people are doin now

[angryJackel]

@archiemaggette dead

[WillShakespeare2007]

This bridge and most of the buildings are still there. My brother actually has a flat in the building this was filmed from. It is an old mill overlooking the River Aire. The cart on the left will be carrying wool. Leeds was a a famous cloth town and we have a sheep on our City logo.

[Duii26]

when i watch videos like this one i really wish there was a time machine so i could back in time and meet people from the past!

[ovechkin100]

this is 100 years before i was born. amazing

[brianmoran1973]

I thought the people used to walk alot faster back then

[deanmullen10]

coolanistic

[ferociousgumby]

One frame per second. Amazing!

[coptersoisoi]

It is very amazing. I sometime have total recall of the mid 80s (im in my 40s) better then the 90s. It really isn't that long ago when you live old enough to see the years go by faster every year. Anyways, My point is this.. 1985 was a quarter century ago. I multiply that by 5 and its around 1888. I can comprehend that enough to visually take me back to that period. I'm confused though. Many US cities had dirt roads but the UK cities were mostly cobblestone. Why is this dirt?

[DCRThinnes]

This is amazing :0

[JuuuuustAJ]

looks like a modern day security camera footage..

[DisneyMissieMouse]

oh my goodness!! this is so amazing!! :D:D i didnt think film went all the way back to the late 1800s! i thought only the 1900s! learn something new every day :D

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

@DisneyMissieMouse

Ever flip through a book and watch the page numbers "morph" into each other? That always makes me wonder how noone came up with the idea of motion pictures of some variety (like an animated flip book for example) hundreds of years earlier! - 1b2s

[DisneyMissieMouse]

@1nceBitten2wiceShy thats very interesting!! :D

[shananagans5]

@1nceBitten2wiceShy Shortly after photography came into being they had little boxes that had multiple photos mounted on a wheel type thing and people would turn a crank, look into the box and see a moving photo just a few seconds long. History channel did a thing on this but I can't recall what they were called. I do agree, it does seem like it should of been discovered earlier given how simple something like a flip book would have been.

[vv55sst]

@shananagans5 - Mutoscope.

That lead to the Kinetoscope

[pacornerpolska]

@1nceBitten2wiceShy

I think they did - there were Victorian children's toys that did similar effects with a spinning metal disc. I think the problem was getting photographic film to expose fast enough.

[SidewalkFrequencies]

Archetypes everywhere....... (song) "Those were the days" !!!!!!

[TheShurik65]

@hanriberes I agree. If you sit one stupid-ass undergraduate and try to get them to make this with 1800's tools I'll be damned if someone actually makes one.

[49bobbyk]

A trip back in time.

[ALEG0Man360]

i saw some one with an ipad

[Mality]

A window into the past. I wish there were more...
