The flickering that occurs in a few places is because the movie camera that made this video was hand cranked, and didn't always conform to the now standard 24 frames per second. My guess is that the video is from about 1917-1924 period. Anyone out there able to set a year from the make and models of the cars?
really enjoyed that, wasn't sure if the rolling was because of the projector or because it went along with the music (which it does towards the end), I like the coppers trying to chase after the car lol... the detail is good and I'm surprised at how close the drivers got to each other and people, you would have though common sence would have said otherwise to them... really enjoyable and deffinately worth the watch, the music was good to and played really well with the footage :)
At first, I kind of questioned if this was actually filmed in 1905 due to the number of automobiles on the I noticed a few comments about some of the technical aspects of this film, but I'm impressed that someone took the effort to mount a camera and hand crank it for the duration and, although not having personal experience from riding a San Francisco cable car in 1905, I imagine it wasn't the smoothest ride
Another five stars should go to the poignancy of the fact this may very well be the last footage taken of Market Street before the horrific 1906 earthquake and fire.
I could actually make out the gas-powered lamps on some of the automobiles of the day and recognize the coaches on the cable cars as being very similar to the electric street-cars I rode is as a small child in New Orleans, LA.
These five stars go to both the original film-maker for their pioneering work in documentary film-making and to the Prelinger Archives for restoring the footage, making it possible for all of us to see it.
On the technical side the film is very clear and detailed compared to other films of the day. It has been preserved well. It is a pity that the projector used to display the film would cause the image to roll. Perhaps this can be fixed in a future restoration.
This film is simply amazing. It should be a standard in American History classes. I knew that traffic in the early part of the 20th Century was much congested and dangerous, but you really can't appreciate it unless you see it. This film shows the need for traffic rules. No one seems to give a care for anyone else on the road, nor looks for that matter. It does explain why there were so many accidents reported in the newspapers at the time.
Wow, this is an amazing movie made from 1905. I enjoyed looking at what life was like 104 years ago. It made me wonder what people were thinking and doing at that time. What were they thinking about? Where they were coming from and going to? What news they were hearing about at the time? What were the trends and I try to think about what I know about American History of that time .
Love this vid! It's amazing to see that area back in the day. Do you know the actual year of the footage? Looks like The Ferry Buidling survived the quake, now I wonder how old it is!
Enjoyed the video - and the cars!! Great tune to do the dishes to ;)
