It's quite amazing how back then, this was the sort of thing only an expert could do, and then only with hours and hours of preparation.
Today you can get the same effect with a phone or handheld camera.
How the times have changed...

Somewhere in time
Never get back great baseball time travel novel along those lines.

You would enjoy the book
"I don't care if I never get back" Darryl Brock
Must read if you want to step off in time.

@1971mgb absolutely. and the marketing thing was just something i read. makes no difference. i still wanna' step off the streetcar and go grab a drink...

Could be. However other pictures I have seen around that period of time in S.F. look quite crowded and lots of cars. Beautiful film either way.
-
@1971mgb heard it was a promo film...the tweaked aspect being they hired cars to be in it to make SF seem more modern. apparently some of the cars are the same ones over and over. *shrug*

@Mollgreen thanks. yeah that song has a kind of timelessness that just....it's just perfect. one of my favorite videos of all time...genius.

About 1500 people died in the quake and the fire. That was only a small portion of S.F. population at the time. Women wore dresses and a man would not be caught dead not wearing a hat in public. It was the fashion of the time.
You can see the whole restored 12 minute film at .cbsnews
it was not a promotional film it was just life at the time.
Why with a population of nearly a half million in 1906 would they need to make it look livelier?
And yes we actually landed men on the moon.

Fantastic piece of film and very nicely set to music. Quite a reminder of our own mortality...

My family moved there in 1865-6 but moved to San Diego in 1867. But Grandpa was in San Fran for the quake.
