      A security camera is digital, instant, and live. You dont have to take the security camera down every 2 minutes and reload more film into it. These are heavy ass super flammable rolls of film that were black and white, had no sound, and was a single uncut unedited shot.

    Up until early 90s, he would set up the white screen, then get the projector. It was a rare ocassion becsuse the original reel and the ejection reel had to be synchronized, if not the film would bunch up and start to dangle.
    Then the bulb burned out, and everywhere he looked, all bulbs like that were no longer in production.

The Meiji era is a period in Japanese history (1868-1912), and the use of a year reference like "Meiji 32nd Year" is typical in Japanese historical contexts. Thank you GTP 4o.

    Well, technically, they're not "videos". They're films - movies or "motion pictures". What we know today as "video" first appeared when television was invented early in the 20th Century.
    The ability to record and playback television created the first analog of what we now call "video". Early television recordings were movies taken off of a TV screen along with the matching audio. These were known as "kinescope" films named after the cathode ray ("picture") tube which displayed the image recorded on film by a movie camera. Video tape technology was developed after World War II. Video recordings were entirely analog until the development of analog to digital conversion late in the 20th Century.
    i suppose this UA-cam entry establishes the term "video" as a generic term for any recording of images, sound or both on any medium via any technology.

      Yes, the term seems to have been backdated for some purposes. It has also been applied to the pre-MTV music promo clips that were actually quite common from the 1920s-on. Of course, the ones from the 1970s and probably many from the 1960s were actually videos, but before that most of them were film.

      @@mikerichs Yes, I agree. "Video" in a very loose sense may describe a moving picture, but the proper meaning of "Video" is an aparatus to transmit and show a live image of something somewhere else, and secondly as a visual medium. "Moving Picture" may mean film but also Zoetrope, magic lantern, and any other picture that moves, even though they are hand drawn rather than photographed. I guess "Film" and "Movie" are the words we've got for "The Roundhay" and other early experiments.

    The clip of 1906 San Francisco is fascinating, not only because it was filmed 4 days before the Great SF Earthquake, but it's a crazy glimpse into the utter chaos of early street travel, with no dividing lanes and seemingly no rules governing right of way (or if there were, no one seemed to observe them)! There must have been dozens (hundreds?) of accidents daily, involving cars, horses and pedestrians alike!

      Read Devil In The White City for a fascinating look at what it was like to live in Chicago in the last decade before the end of the 19th century. Bonkers. 10,000 head of cattle a day coming into the city by rail in stockcar to be unloaded at the slaughter houses. On average 2 people per day were struck and killed by one of these trains. Apparently the stench from the 1000's of cattle kept in the, stockyards, the butchered animal carcasses and rivers of blood from the slaughter houses, and the continual influx of trains made up of nothing but stock cars filled with cattle spraying gallons of shit like water from a fire hose was beyond the power of mere words to do justice. It had to be smelled first hand to be believed. Nothing but booze, brothels, and gambling houses. People going missing never to be heard of again was a common occurrence. Absolutely crazy.

      There's a chance that accidents didn't happen all that often considering the fact that the speed of transportation back then is snail like compared to nowadays and it's also worth mentioning that the amount of people that could afford transportation such as automobiles is likely less than it is now (combined with the population being lower). Of course back then accidents definitely happened from time to time but the likelihood of a fatal injury from such things seem to be minimal

    Just an FYI-Today, digital technology sort of equalizes film and video, but when these historical moving images were made, digital didn't exist, video did not exist, just FILM, so what you're showing here is FILM. The definition of film is a thin flexible strip of plastic or other material coated with light-sensitive emulsion for exposure in a camera, used to produce photographs or motion pictures.
    Video is an electronic medium for recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display of moving visual media. So your title should read, "Oldest Film Ever Recorded".

    It's a strange thought, but Jack the Ripper's final victim still had three weeks to live when it was filmed.
    EDIT: It's been mentioned that Pope Leo XIII is the earliest born person on film. Great quality film it is too. I see also that a woman named Rebecca Clark, born in 1804, is claimed to be the earliest born. They say it's possible someone born in the 1700's may have been filmed too.

    Well, although technically "video" because of the very broad definition - "The recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images" - I'd say that the vast majority of people would not call these "videos" but rather "film clips". In fact the first use of the word "video" came at the very early stage of television, more than half a century after the earliest of the examples above.

When he was 16 he fell out the back of a pickup and is now half paralyzed, and had 1/4 of his brain removed. Those videos and pictures are the only thing left showing him living a normal life.

      interesting to note that these EARLIEST movies appear to depict very simple and mundane subjects and techniques. I guess THAT was enough cause moving pictures, in their mere selves, were enough of a novelty and wonder at the time. After a while though they had to make the subjects more interesting and titillating and feature more tricks and illusions (or "special effects" as we'd now call them).

      It’s amazing how you see so many people out in the streets and having a conversation in person. Nowadays you don’t see people walking outside and side walls aren’t around as much. People just stay in their phones and travel in vehicles.

      @@zzodysseuszz a lot of technology has made us stray further from things that made humans know how to survive and made us all miserable working to make money to buy things we never really needed in the first place. The fact that most people need refrigerators now when we never needed them before has actually become a hindrance. Another example: I saw many people comment under a video of a mother showing what she gives her kids for lunch and the comments were filled with people having no idea what was in the meal and angrily wondering why she didn't just give her kids Lunchables etc... I had to actually explain to them that she was packing fruit, vegetables and meat for her kids and that it was food people ate before grocery stores with junk food existed and someone actually thanked me for explaining... I had considered they were joking but they doubled down and said they genuinely had no idea. I can't figure out how. They were so used to premade junk they somehow forgot what food used to be I guess... Another example is money, as the meme says: "Humans are the only creatures who pay to live on earth". And if we go way way back in time, the decision to stop hunting, gathering, moving around to find food and settle and start farming was a pretty bad idea for a few reasons. One was more access to food which made people more fertile, the more fertile people became the more it changed women's bodies when they got pregnant and to this day, thousands of years later, when women get pregnant some of them still deal with the hormonal change that causes their teeth to rot. Many "advancements" we've made since then has seemed to cause us to take several steps back and have to come up with new technology to deal with it. Dentistry was one of the first medical types of treatments humans had to invent to deal with all the rotting teeth. They have found ancient skulls with cavities mostly after farming started. And all the advances we have today... Most of them aren't needed. I hear people say all the time they envy their pets because their lives are so simple. I don't see humans as being better either because of all the problems we've caused ourselves under the false idea it's all great advancements. We didn't need to do most things and could have still been alive and happy. The only things we really had to do was invent clothes out of fur because evolution decided we needed to lose our fur for some reason and so we all would have gone extinct without clothes...and we needed to eat more variety of food because limiting ourselves to only big creatures wasn't sustainable. There are still humans living ancient ways, not needing money etc... but our "advancements" are ruining their lives for no reason.

      @TheLee Yeah well that's bogus for sure. People are confusing Deja vu and Lamais vu with all these previous life memory nonse. But I meant our physical bodies are broken down by nature and are in a way cycled back into the ecosystem once we die and are remade back into us after a long cycle. Not talking about the soul. That stuffs spiraling into the afterlife. Wherever that is
