    You see, people picked wild film from the fields and built the cameras from goats intestines and through magic they were able to record the film but only after sacrificing a virgin to the Gods.

  • @shepboy8 I think they were a box a little bigger than a shoebox, and to record they had a hand crank on the side that they had to turn in order to film.

  • @DaWhiteWolffie i know , im just wondering what video cameras were like in 1900

  • @shepboy8 Um, it was made in 1900. lol

  • i wonder how this old film was created
