Lumière Brothers - The Serpentine Dance (c.1899)

Shot and hand-colored - frame by frame - at the end of the 19th Century. Still captivating today, but just imagine what it must have been like to watch an image move and transform like this in 1899! A beautiful example of the earliest cinematic ART. One of my three favorite Lumière films which I've uploaded.

@KawhackitaRag Amen!

I wish I could go a day with seeing everything like an old hand-coloured film. That would be....interesting.
-
You know what really grinds my gears? People in the 19th century. Why don't they get with the freakin' programme?
-
I've always disliked that idea of someone (usually an artist) "having a lot of time on his hands". We all have a lot of time on our hands, it just depends on how you use it.

@HotVoodooWitch It looks fast because it probably was filmed with 16 or 18 frames per second. That's also why the moving does not look smooth.
-
Just beautiful but I think this clip is projected at too many frames per second. It's running awfully fast.

Considerando que fue pintado cuadro a cuadro a mano, es un gran espectáculo. Además el efecto visual es inigualable. Quedó bien logrado.

What documentary is this from again?

@proceedapathy, the DVD is entitled Lumiere Brothers' First Films, and it is available from several popular sources. I believe it's a KINO release.

I swear, if only the guys who build model structures out of toothpicks would spend their time hand-coloring copies of black-and-white movies... the world would be a better place.
