Um.. The clip is good but there was no moving film in 1898.

[orastella]

@csincali Actually, moving pictures were exhibited at the Chicago 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Also, the Lumiere company shot nearly a thousand short silent films all over the world, from 1896 to 1901. They weren't very sophisticated yet, but films were being mad at that time.

@freacls: Isn't film, or even wax cylinders for that matter, magical?

[freacls]

@DChatc yeah its like a window into the past

[ArmesPryein]

This is only 25 years after the samurai. It's weird when you think about it.

[mirroredpleasures]

wow, I didn't even think moving film was invented yet then! Great clip!

[csincali]

@mirroredpleasures It wasn't until about 20 years later at the very least.
