[ozzfreak05]

[Fulldesmadre]

@ozzfreak05 what are you tarching about?

[heathergee28]

0:58 The first brony!

[randomfunnyguy321]

no it was 1878

[TheComputerZombie]

Edison was electrocuting animals at this time to show the world how dangerous AC was!

[4SCARECROWS]

These are the films that launched millions of sequels.

[MrCrusader363]

Thomas Edison..Great whiteman

[cbohar84]

Filmed with a tomato

[jupiterjelly]

I thought the first movie ever made was "Train Coming Into the Station" by the Lumiere Bros.

[spocksmusic]

@jupiterjelly Close, that was one of the Lumier's first films but their very first one was "Workers Leaving the Factory" which was actually shot on 3 different dates and edited together in 1894. I believe the first moving picture sequence was recorded by Thomas Edison, in 1888, with his 1st movie camera the "kinetograph-moving picture camera" (which weighed 500 pounds). The first "movie" is of Edison in his lab, mixing chemicals behind a counter in his lab and lasts about 10 to 12 seconds.

[spocksmusic]

@spocksmusic I must also note that Louis Le Prince's 1st film also dates from 1888. His film "In the Garden" was filmed in October, however, we are not sure if that was his first film experiment. Those early film experiments, now lost, may be the actual first film.

[SnapePaper]

@jupiterjelly It was people leaving a factory.

[georgespell1]

I thought Edison's first motion picture was a guy sneezing or performing some other disgusting bodily function.

[testermanish]

@turkeyby001 I've actually met Tesla. Busy fella. Always moving. Oh, I'm a time traveler. No, I don't worry about causing paradoxes any more than I worry about the man at the market that I don't remember causing one.

[Uncharted3Ownage]

didn't thomas edison like.......steal everything he "invented" or made?

[cryingmushroom47]

@Uncharted3Ownage Yes!! He stole lots of patents from nikola tesla. Edison was a fucking thief. Tesla was called crazy because of the stuff he was inventing at the time. Did you know tesla had patents of the radio before marconi made it? Everyone stole shit from tesla including einstein.

[keaton1895]

@cryingmushroom47 No he didn't steal. He had employees who would work on projects and since they were employees he owned whatever they invented. And he didn't get Tesla's patents. When he died the government stole them.

[turkeyby001]

@cryingmushroom47 exactly ! i am related to nikola tesla. He also invented the radio!

[kourosh89]

Can someone re-upload this in 1080p?

[MissKatieL00]

I hate to tell you this, but this is not the first movie ever made. Roundhay Garden Scene by Aime Augustine Le Prince invented the first motion picture using roll film. :)

[theproplady]

3:00 : shapeless ghost doing the YMCA dance!

[mlsprovideos]

Very cool

[montezoma]

I guess motions pictures to the 20th century is like the internet to the 21st

[hyenasundries]

first or not - i can watch these old 'tests' forever... so amazing. so lucky to have them

[TitanicExpert1912]

@xxxPurplexGirlxxx

They were probably not original, and most likely colorized on computers from the people who owned/discovered it. My friend has videos that are from 1900 that he colorizes on his laptop.

[Armydicked]

The photo about the horse and rider won a bet for the photographer. The argument was that a horse is too heavy to have all four feet off the ground. It is obvious---the horse is breifly airborne!!!

[ShNbWmN]

Second person in Edison's "movie" was a better actor :)

[PhelpsHawk]

Where's the audio??

[TheRealWurzog]

@PhelpsHawk Are you an idiot movies didn't have audio till the late 1920's/30's.

[spocksmusic]

@TheRealWurzog (also to PhelpsHawk) 1925: Bell labs uses the vacuum tube as an amplifier and developes the PA system later that year. Newsreels and movies with sound for portions of the film started appearing in 1926 but most film theaters didn't start putting in sound systems until late 1927 or 1928 after "The Jazz Singer" became such a hit.

[ThatsARandomNameLOL]

i wish i had a time machine

[TitanicExpert1912]

@Roncace: oh my god you're so stupid! They didn't have films with sounds until the mid 1920s! And they didn't have color films until 1930! Everybody knows that!

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@TitanicExpert1912 Actually there's color films from as early as 1903.

[csmcmillion]

@TitanicExpert1912 Yeah, sure - everyone is _born_ knowing that.

[Roncace]

where's the sound?

[ColdDarkBlizzard]

@Roncace they didnt have sound back then ._. i bet your like in high school....heh heh...6th grader beats chuu :l

[circusitch]

Sorry, the first movie ever made was when Mary Lincoln asked Abe if she looked fat.

[EmmetEarwax]

3:00 or so - shapeless ghost in the dark....

[yulio3000]

@circusitch no, that was the first horror movie when abe said yes :D

[poetsteve1]

@circulating I think that's my favorite commercial ever

[Angel2WIN]

@samrobichon I don't know how to fight and don't intend on pretending like I do, even on the net, like most other people do. :P

[MyVojkan]

i think i got depth at the end of noisiness...

[wattever333]

it sure was a noisy clip. LOL

[nicolson100]

I agree if there is one man in history to be hated, it has to be edison. I won't even give his Name a Capital.

[metaltera86]

I would love to live in these days

[Peteromich]

@metaltera86 You are living in these days.

[metaltera86]

@Peteromich no late 19th century

[Hippoclite]

@Humaninsoul I'm not nationalist, i just pay a tribute :)

Jealous stranger :)

[XXXsakura86XXX]

whats 1:23???

[NFL9475]

This is chronophotography (invented in 1878), not cinema... Cinema was born in 1894 in France. Louis Le Prince, who was also French, made only what we call "pre-cinema'". He was important in the transition between photography (another french invention) and the cinema.

[eedobaba7726]

Actually, the first photo was a heliograph of an etching of a horse. It was discovered a few years ago I think.

[sweet58441]

LOL this video still has more pixels than most of the shit on this site

[BrownMaterial]

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

This is NOT the first motion picture ever made.

Some have youtube posted Louis Lumiere 1895 motion picture as the first. WRONG AGAIN!

The person credited with producing the first motion picture is:

Roundhay Garden Scene, 1888, by Louis Le Prince.

There's to many fucking people on the net that post when they don't know what there talking about, which is the reason why Wikipedia is joke.

[gtavcs4life]

@sanymalaysia stfu you animal masturbator!

[BagleyLindaMarie]

Can't hear a thing.

[2indulgent]

Why is there something like 15 videos posted on YouTube all claiming to be the first motion picture?

[barneybros]

@2indulgent It goes entirely on your own personal definition of "Motion Picture." Some people see the 'flip-book' horse running as the first motion picture... others see it even as this film Edison made in the 1800's. I think the earliest known "recording" should be what its considered.

[perceptivum]

@2indulgent I guess some of theme here really are.

[1958debs]

@2indulgent This was the first film, it was made by taking several picture frames at the same time in response to a bet that a particular horse's hooves were actually all in the air at the same time. Another trick of motion was to make a book of pictures that you could thumb through. That would produce the same effect.

[TheFundRaiserBeats]

@2indulgent

The real first one that they could find is the one where the people are walking in circles in the garden.

[sanymalaysia]

1889 - NO porn movie !!! we die !!!

[o0Mazza0o]

damm I Hate edison

[magentarocker]

@FamilyGuyLove Really???

[MarkB9000]

[ClassicHorrorDB]

Thumbs up if you can't hear a goddamn thing.

[Monkeyshines1888]

Woot monkeyshines ftw XD

[magentarocker]

[TheFamilyGuyLove]

@magentarocker are you mentally challenged?

[wonderofspeed]

[blake50785]

[BoHoVsGolf]

[OfficiallyMrStud]

[PenusDeMilo]

It looks like a movie of Louis Le Prince pleading for his life after being kidnapped.

[whole27]

this is not even HD! and they say Thomas Edison was a great man!?

[whole27]

this is not even HD!

[ERKRAKANARB]

first movie ever was in 1878

[4you2hotway]

how the hell is this a movie rate:0

[laura20022004]

Thank god for Thomas Edison without him there wouldn't be no movie

[boltoniangirl]

umm, the first motion picture was 1888 and had nothing to do with Edison :/

[Stroheim333]

What, no CGI? Shitty movie.

[XxKcookiez29]

Is it really necessary for them to do all that work? Why couldn't they of came up with 1 motion picture then 24 altogether? Thats common sense. O.o

[Styxhexenhammer666]

@exposed97 To electroplate metal

[marilynmansonfan582]

love this type of antique stuff, good for you for making it available for us to see. thx

[EHABGMG8]

it wasn't Thomas Edison actually the horse's one was filmed in 1978 by Eadweard Muybridge...just for the record..and uploader you could have a music or something for the video it was boring :P thanks a lot.

[td2gether4ever]

@EHABGMG8 it already stated Muybridge's footage in the description and the other 2 being Edison's. ,just click on the show more link .

[FreyjaKate]

@EHABGMG8 Kindly climb down from out of your own rear end and read the description.

[EHABGMG8]

@FreyjaKate hahaha sorry didn't notice that thanks anyways for the video it was a mazing :)

[polacogaleto]

@EHABGMG8 the "films" of muybridge is captured by several cameras, but the Edison capture in the same equipment in reels.

[cadutcher]

How could you not like this? This is history in the making!

[peterlikesthis]

[BobbyIronsights]

Fail.....  Roundhay Garden Scene, the world's earliest film produced using a motion picture camera, by Louis Le Prince, 1888

[MyDogBarksToU]

and 100 years later my sister was born :D

[shagingmaster35]

@MyDogBarksToU ................

[Daverdare]

The second movie was a porn.

[tkoizumi]

You know what's funny? Concept of motion picture have never changed since it was invented. We still use frame by frame clips to produce motion pictures. You may think we are so advance now but think hard, we haven't changed much.

[MilaryAlewine]

Neither the Lumiere brothers nor Edison invented the motion picture camera. Loius Le Prince did.

[DetroitLove4U]

The first motion picture was of the Statue of Liberty in 1886.

[WAHT97]

@DetroitLove4U that was 1898

[3nails3days1way]

What a bunch of stupid debate. Just enjoy stuff, and stop the profanity.

[anirak90]

"Louis Lumiere is often credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. What Lumiere invented was a portable motion-picture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe. In 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to present projected motion pictures to a paying audience." It's difficult to tell who invented film, several others had similar inventions around the same time.

Ex:. Roundhay Garden Scene by Louis Le Prince. The oldest surviving film.

[bullmale]

TO ALL THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO CURSES THOMAS ALVA EDISON, EDISON INVENTED ELECTRIC LIGHT BULB AND WITH THE HELP OF THAT BULB, LUMIERE BROTHERS INVENTED FILM. GOT THAT ASSHOLES!

[chris55571]

He got rid of the pony express!! GRRRRRR

[xXInsanePiNoY]

HD video

[MrIChew]

brothers lumiere win. fatality!

[asdxxme]

song name?

[Hippoclite]

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, NOTHING AMERICAN.

THANK YOU FRENCH PEOPLE ! THANKS TO YOU, WE CAN WATCH FILMS, TAKE PHOTO...

[Rubenaxo000]

@Hippoclite You're right



[Hippoclite]

@Rubenaxo000 Indeed :)

[98bigbutt]

@Hippoclite,Also the French were the first ones to ever thought of creating the Panama Canal even though they failed because their workers were constantly dying from yellow fever and they were bankrupt.

[Hippoclite]

@98bigbutt Indeed :)

[Hippoclite]

@98bigbutt Indeed :)

[SporeFan01234]

@Hippoclite wait... why did you mention america?

[Hippoclite]

@SporeFan01234 I didn't mention america

[Angel2WIN]

@Hippoclite It's because while the French were busy playing with pictures and camaras, we were getting ready to save the world from the likes of Hitler...

[Hippoclite]

@Angel2WIN You're absolutely stupid. Was hitler born in 1826 ? 1888 ? 1860 ? lol

[Angel2WIN]

@Hippoclite We were working on modernizing our military around this time. No need for name calling. And yes, your right, thank you French people for film. And you're welcome for your freedom.

[Hippoclite]

@Angel2WIN Indeed, the French Revolution is an example for the progress of humanity :)

[Peteromich]

@Hippoclite Indeed. But this term "Progress" must be interrogated.

[Hippoclite]

@Peteromich Why ?

[Peteromich]

@Hippoclite Why take anything at face value? What does "Progress" really mean? And does it have any drawbacks? Does "Progress" usher in new and far more dangerous problems for humankind?

[Peteromich]

@Angel2WIN Emerson said that Napoleon was modernity incarnated. This is Emerson speaking, not me. And by this he meant entirely, not only militarily. Of course, military modernization was accredited to Napoleon as well. Now, in America during the time of the French Revolution we had General George Washington here, a bumbling chronic failure was lucky enough to have an ocean between New England and Great Britain. And also lucky to have the backing of French money.

[Angel2WIN]

@Peteromich Yes, there was a lot of modernization going on in Europe before we began. My question is, what happened in WWII? Seems as things only turned around when the US entered. NOT SAYING WE DID IT ALL, but I feel our military and tactics changed the game.

I'm really not an arrogant nationalist, the discussion was just instigated by Hippoclites "All of these inventors were FRENCH, NOTHING AMERICAN" spiel.

He and I used our words to work it all out though (as all conflicts should)... :)

[samrobichon]

@Angel2WIN nope, you should've punched him in the face, much quicker :P jk

[BdoFilms2]

@Angel2WIN You know if it wasn't for the French we wouldn't have won the Revolutionary war. Just sayin.

[Angel2WIN]

@BdoFilms2 So it all came around full circle... :)

[TheJayman213]

@BdoFilms2 and you know that today's frenchmen and americans deserve no credit whatsoever for the deeds of their ancestors, making this conversation redundant.

[kly45]

@TheJayman213 this

[Xmaggot93X]

@Hippoclite I'm very interested in what you're saying, and I wish you'd expand on all of that in a summary consisting of a few paragraphs, because I'm so interested.

[Hippoclite]

@Xmaggot93X Indeed, it's interesting :)

[ProductionsHead]

The roundhay garden was the first, and a scene of a town was the second, this was probably like the 6th.

[Domingohertz]

and the very first motion picture is I tihnk the zoopraxiscope?!

[RememberRox]

I am confused.....All my sources imply that "Roundhay garden scene" is the oldest surviving motion picture out there, made in 1888.

[spirmessi]

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

[TheXtraGuy]

this isn't the first, the first was of a galloping horse

[Hesam0000]

This is not the first, the first was the riding horse in 1878.

[RememberRox]

@Hesam0000 The running horse was only a series of photographs, in an attempt to "freeze" motions. Edward muybridge lay the foundation to motion picture but the running horse wasn't actually that. I have (like so many) taken several photo sequences by Edward and used softwares to make looping videos of them. As far as i know (but ofcourse this can be debated) "roundhay garden scene" was the oldest surviving motion picture film, made in 1888, and lasted for 2 seconds.

[KenfromDublin]

youtube(.)com/watch?v=59xD2jA4­T1E

- From 1888 - and this is headed as the 2nd oldest movie ever.

[gaelicscots]

WRONG - The earliets motion picture was the 'Roundhays Garden Scene' shot in 1988.

[monstermashsmb3]

This isnt the first. there was one from 1878 with a running horse. that was the first.

[rolex452]

Also, cinema buffs may want to read about William Friese-Greene of England, who patented a working motion picture system before Edison.

[grettoz]

wot no colour??

[Zeanu]

Why is there no sound, that's kind of annoying. And try not to mislead people, that's a crappy title...

[veemonjosh]

1:19 - 1:39 First penis caught on film belonged to a buffalo? Interesting.

[iTzTehShad0w]

@veemonjosh u loved it lol jks

[kevan208]

@veemonjosh funny how your like the only one that noticed that lol

[LittlePussLiquor]

@veemonjosh Looks like someones a pervert.

[beardedgecko987]

@veemonjosh ITS A BISON YOU STUPID MORON! 'forever alone'

[skyweezynU]

@veemonjosh lol

[Mallidge]

If the French really did invent it first, they didn't know how to market it, and in the end, that all that counts.

[laylanjoy]

@Mallidge

They did, check your sources.

[logansci]

thomas edison wasnt an asshole he just took inventions and improved them

[tigerboyX]

Just think people playing our video games 100 years from now

[DevaCooper]

FAKE AND GAY. xD

[gjtrue]

Wow, a movie from 1889; 121 years ago. That's amazing. Here's a quick fact: the videogame company known today as "Nintendo" was founded in 1889 as well!

[comakid4000]

@gjtrue are you actually serious?

[CatoptricCistula]

Louis Le Prince was the first inventor of motion picture. . . Well in advance of Edison.

[XxValkyrxX]

Pretty amazing. Hard to believe that all a video is is pictures showing one after another in a very fast rate. Well not hard to believe but easily misunderstood.

[dwtnigg]

Great, Now we all die in seven days.
