Loading...
Uploaded by fracacio on Jul 8, 2006
Filmed on paper filmstrips, this is Louis Aime Augustin Le Prince's second known film, produced in October 1888. Only photographic copies of it survive today. The Leeds Bridge was filmed because it provided action.

Created to test the equipment, I presume? Cool seeing a glimpse of life in 1888.
-
Why dont they use cars? :P
-
Slightly more exciting than Roundhay Garden scene.
-
This is in Leeds, West Yorkshire UK. The bridge was built in 1730 and still stands today. Dispite all the people scoffing, you have to admit it is really pretty good for its time.

I watched this movie 10 times in a row...I can't stop!

@MrSuperPatty5 Bad joke..

The people who were walking on this bridge could be proud to be part of one of the first movies in history.

@aarinzz The dislikes were people who do not appreciate these kinds of films. Yes, it may have been 2 seconds, but the more film to purchase, the more expensive it was. There may have been no sound, but this was before audio was captured. I know what you mean, though. This is an AWESOME piece of history. This was filmed back in Late October of 1888, according to Wikipedia. So, it will be 123 years this coming Fall. I am 19, and I have an old soul, which I love.
