The Very First Motion Picture (1889)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Here is a short video production I've done especially for UA-cam members. It shows the first experimental movie that Thomas Edison made in 1889.
In 1878, British photographer Eadweard Muybridge made a series of still photographs of a horse that when viewed in sequence, appeared to be galloping. Edison felt this was too cumbersome for practical use and soon developed a system for "motion" pictures, based on his wax cylinder for phonographs. Thus you will see the two short sequences still in existance of the very first American motion picture from 1889.
Rooundhay Garden Scene, very clear, was made in 1888, can be seen on UA-cam.
It is the oldest surviving film in existence. It was filmed by Louis Le Prince at Oakwood Grange, the home of Joseph and Sarah Whitley, in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire UK on October 14, 1888. Louis Le Prince vanished mysteriously on a train journey in 1890.
@Ed Kelly I heard Eddison had him killed.
Edison KILLED Le Prince.
@@grettelvargas844 I think his brother is the main suspect. He said he saw Le Prince off at the train station, no one else saw him get on and his luggage was not on it! : )
@Karensimp That is very interesting. They were actually painted silhouettes based on his photographs that were made to make the first "moving images" with a machine called the Zoopraxiscope! The garden scene is the first movie made directly from photographs. My friend's direct ancestor's brother was murdered by Muybridge! She has written about it in her book "The Scoundrel Harry Larkyns and his Pitiless Killing by the Photographer Eadward Muybridge" by Rebecca Gowers!
Actually the first film is Man Walking Around A Corner, 1887
Being able to witness this historic film as well as other films, truly validates the significance of UA-cam as a potential method of education, in my opinion.
lol fake & gay
No it's not.
The Restoration of Dr Who Vote Ron Paul
Paul's comments and questions you know what mate.. YOUR COMPLETELY RIGHT.
this is history made available to the world by you tube
and here's the funny part.
all that people can do after witnessing such a historical even is.....
bitch and whine and hate
Clearly they don't get it and what it means.... sad when you think about it
In my opinion that your opinion in my opinion
This film had the most original plot ever.
Still better than a bunch of UA-cam videos out there...

I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out but the Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) predates Edison's so-called "very first motion picture" by a good year.
As other guys said before: This is NOT the first motion picture. These laurels go to Lois Les Prince in 1888.
The very first motion picture with live motion was in 1888 with "The Roundhay Garden Scene".
I thought it was footage of a train pulling into a railway station.
You're right. By Augustin LePrince. Edison had very little to do with the invention of motion pictures, but was keen to pretened that he did.
He does that a lot
I thought it was a man riding a horse. Or was that the first animation?
Doug Malone That is “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat” by the Lumière Brothers, which was in 1895
Whoever was tasked with digitalizing this 100 years after this was made must be honored
Isn't it amazing that just 50 years later Gone With The Wind was made in glorious technicolor? What a wonderful invention.
Selsley01
No, it was one of the best films ever made , a true epic of artistic achievement.
Tesla was the genius... Edison was a business man
wos - exactly the same with Friese-Greene.
wosburnca and they were both equally as awesome
wosburnca, So, you're jealous too.
Kevin McDougall, Edison was the greatest scientist/invertor, after Issac Newton.
wosburnca, Edison was the greatest scientist/inventor, after Issac Newton.
At least its better than whats shown on t.v. nowadays
planetX15 that's a lie.
well said!
It is not realistic put some adverts in if you want to be authentic.
U r so right
Can't agree more.
The very first motion picture was better than most of the crap coming from Hollywood today.
Ain't it so?
nah ur probably really old
+Selsley01 yes
yes today cartoon are always about evil and sex and crap
Yup, that comment made my day.
02:40 - Still better than the new Ghostbusters movie.
The new Ghostbusters is better than the previous ones.
Fight me.
advokata No, I won't fight you, because I'm not Donald Trump, wanting to physically attack those who disagree with me.
Revelian1982 Comparing me to Trump for a figurative "Fight me" that wasn't even meant seriously? Talk about exaggeration.
advokata Taking my retort seriously is the reserve of someone without a sense of humour.
Is that because you can't stand the fact that women are running the show now? sexist
As I remember from research on an old college term paper I wrote, Edison could not figure out how to move the film through the camera, so he gave up and turned the project over to one of his employees, a man named Dickson, who invented the sprocket system.
Correct. And it was a sprocket that was 1 1/4" across (35mm) across. Same configuration used today. Well, until just a few years ago.
I’m pretty sure this was not the first ever motion picture. The first one was actually “Round hay garden scene”. It was done in 1888. This one is done in 1889.
Cool.
love this type of antique stuff, good for you for making it available for us to see. thx
Awesome!! Can you imagine how huge that must have been back then?! It'd be awesome to go back and experience first hand what that must have been like when it was introduced.
It's also amasing how a lot of Mr. Edison's inventions are still in use today.
There's film made on Leeds bridge in 1888
there was a film made in the UK in 1888
i think that might have been done with the old method he mentioned
Lying english baastards...why are there no pattents or other evedence...europ never saw movies until Edison broute his cameras an movies to europe...lying english baastards.
And what nationality are u ?
Louis Le Prince made films in 1888 with the first ever single lens camera, on actual celluloid film. They were only seconds long, but true moving pictures nonetheless.
+Justin Noker the first film was shot on a single apparatus camera in Leeds, England. It is called a garden scene and lasts 3 seconds.
Roundhay Garden Scene by Louis Le Prince (1888) is officially credited as the first motion picture ever made. It was made one year before Edison's motion picture. (Bettina Fabos, Media and Culture: Mass Communication in a Digital Age, 2015)
Thomas Edison wasn't the creative inventor of the 20th century. Tesla kicked his can all over the place.
+Yobachi2007 Tesla did a lot a thought experiments insted of doing actual experiments
+Ward McCreery Tesla invented the electricity distribution system that powers the device that you're on right now. Oh, and his system beat out Edison's system. So I guess Edison was a little too busy experimenting, while Tesla was thinking out more successful inventions.
That's all he achieved, great though it is
Ward McCreery No it isn't.
Well?
It must have been mind blowing to have been the first people to see this and other films like it. Especially for the people who were actually in them, to see them selves on a screen moving around.
your title is misleading....this is not the very first movie. That was filmed in England in 1888 . The Title was Roundhay Garden Scene and was filmed by Louis Le Prince. it lasted only 2.11 seconds, and was filmed at a rate of 12 frames per second.
+Robert “oldfoxbob” Hersh-geer
Roundhay Garden Scene is probably not even the first film ever, just oldest surviving.
STFU Limey. Always hating, not our fault everyone cannot be born an American. LOL
Survival of the filmist?
Robert Hersh-geer 2.11 seconds is what has survived. The film was a bit longer.
YoRie x3 Vas you dere, Sharlie?
Thomas Edison's true "genius" was for taking credit for other peoples work. just ask Nicolai Tesla.
rekt
You weren't alive then, the world will never know the truth.
don rutter rekt
To much family guy
True he did steel ideas
the moving picture and its technology were invented by the Frenchman, Louis Le Prince.
eadweard muybridge’s contribution to the arts will not be forgotten. It’s too bad I was never able to meet him. R.I.P. and my god bless your lineage.
Back to the future was my all time favourite film but after seeing this my mind has been changed. It was so captivating and I liked the bit at the end where there was a guy standing there ,the middle bit was good as well when there was a guy standing there .
now it is called a GIF
Loll
When people think Edison did nothing but steal others work when they only know about Nikolai Tesla.
Saying Edison stole credit for his inventions is like saying Bill Gates stole Steve Jobs' ideas for the personal computer. Edison was one of the most gifted individuals and history and claimed more than a thousand patents. Edison is most noted for the IMPROVEMENTS of the incandescent lamp, phonograph, and motion photography. Whilst predecessors before him had made several inventions similar to these, they were all impractical for one reason or another.
Light bulbs had filaments made of carbon and/or platinum, which would break easily and was expensive. Edison wished to improve this and used a filament made of strong, inexpensive tungsten. Further more, he led to this devices mass-production.
The first sound recording was on a device known as the phonautograph, it was used smoke to "see sound" if you will. It could not however be played back.
Motion photography was thoroughly covered in this video, however, the only thing Edison do to improve this was make a few adjustment and help to mass produce the invention. Roundhay Garden Scene is the first film, recorded several months earlier.
Even today anything on film is a series of still pictures and as for Edison anyone will tell you that if you worked for Edison and had a good idea then the patent was in his name.
exactly. edison was bothing but a fraud
What I find really fascinating is the fact that within a decade, they had special effects as well - for example, in The Devil's Castle. Technology was practically advancing at the same rate it is advancing today.
I thought the first official movie is from Oct 14,1888, a French inventor Louis Prince I believe is his name. It's only a couple of seconds, the one where three people are walking in a cirlce. The fact that it's consecutive motion, makes it a movie.
That looks like it was recorded with a sweet potato
lol
the most up-to-date item you've ever owned...
+CamMoron! oooooohhhhhhh
"I yam what I yam." - Thomas "Popeye" Edison
1889 had sweet potato camcorders
Louis Le Prince had him beat.
essvee86 and then he, De Prince, vanished before he could get any ( until 1930 anyway) credit for his work.
Yeah, what a tragedy.
That clicking sound is oddly satisfying
Edison was more a businessman and entrepreneur than an inventor. He took credit for the work done in his workshops by others. He was also a control freak, and the movie industry moved from Fort Lee, NJ to Hollywood, CA firstly to get away from him.
Definitely not the first motion picture, I'm currently writing a history paper on motion picture and came across this while looking for the horse.
Give up. The horse is long dead. (But its ghost, on the other hand...)
Well...How did that history paper come out? Good grade on it?
Hi after 5 years
After reading the comments on this I find it disgusting that there are very few people with anything decent to say to someone who just wanted to share an interesting video. I thought it was pretty cool, and I wonder if Edison could have known where his invention would lead to, how he might smile at the knowing!
Ed Kelly go somewhere else with your bigotry.
Ed Kelly Yeah, I am sure being a racist is a lot better than just being a human. You might try it sometime, when you're done with your racist duties and find a little time on your hands.
Ed Kelly Sounds like the long way of saying you are a troll. But who am I to say, I am just another internet no body. At least you're honest about your faults. You drink your power aid and eat your steroids to your little hearts content. Your niche sounds perfect for you,
I'm sure you're not that man.
Ed Kelly What is "for seen"? Not only a bigot, but an embarrassingly uneducated one at that. You seriously posted that in public?
@spocksmusic I must also note that Louis Le Prince's 1st film also dates from 1888. His film "In the Garden" was filmed in October, however, we are not sure if that was his first film experiment. Those early film experiments, now lost, may be the actual first film.
French inventor Louis Augustin Le Prince developed a single-lens camera which he used to make the very first moving picture sequences (of traffic on a Leeds, England bridge), by moving the film through a camera's sprocket wheels by grabbing the film's perforations. Presumably, it was the first movie ever shot and then shown to the public. Source: Triple W filmsite dot org/filmh dot html
And people told him,"you're crazy, Tom! No one will invest in a movie!" Who's laughing now?
FINALLY a resolution my internet is able to play xD
I'm surprised Netflix hasn't tried to put this on their streaming service yet.
Without understand how it unfolds we wouldn't be knowing the definition of movie.
Not the first motion picture ever. Muybridge's also move, don't they? And let's not forget Louis le Prince and his "Roundhay Garden Scene" and "Leeds Bridge" from 1888 - shot on a single lens camera on paper film - much closer to what we know as cinema than Edison's metal cylinder. Oh well, of course everybody would like to think they were the first.
If u want to see the real FIRST video look up roundhouse garden scene (1888)
Roundhouse? Lol. I think you mean RoundHAY.
Sorry but video was not around in the 1800s. Fact.
Oh, so video was around in the 1800s, was it VHS or Betamax? Har.
VHS ON A SONY PLAYER
I'm not sure handing off a rough idea to a hundred or so employees and saying " Make this work " constitutes being a genius. He was a thief, a liar and a ruthless businessman.
not a single blur in those shots of the horse and buffalo in motion. amazing.
The roundhay garden scene was better quality than this.
What, no 3D?
Pshaw! That was a dead fad by the 1870s! Seriously, anaglyph 3-D was essentially the same in 1845 as it was
..in 1995!
Martingoldfire, I know right, they were probably still using 720p also.
Edison was a super genius unlike commonly assumed that Edison was just a businessman . His rivalry with Tesla over AC/DC was only one facet of his life . It just shows that a genius guy like him could fall into human fallacies.Tesla won the war over AC but Edison should be remembered as a creative genius too.
I went away a long time ago, its you that keeps coming back.
The trailer for this movie was .004 seconds long.
....Thomas Edison WAS NOT the Most Creative Inventor of the 20th Century...That Unique and Privileged Title would go to Nikola Tesla !!!
Motion picture photography had at least three inventors, like the airplane, and there will never be an end to the debate over who got there first, Louis Bleriot (a Frenchman), the Brazilian daSilva or the American Wright brothers. Evidence does not exist to determine a clear winner though most authorities give the prize to the Wrights. Thomas Edison most assuredly did invent and patent a motion picture camera and projector. Whether it was chronologically number one, I don't believe anyone knows, surely no one on this comments area.
Still better quality than my phone
Edison didnt made the first moving picture
and btw the roundhay garden scene was a thousand times better quality than this shit
hitcan79 its history bro. Don't call it shit.
No need to write like you're a 10 year old showing off for 9 year olds. Make your point like an adult or you'll never make one.
CrimZone it was made before this...
The 1st called motion picture is from Lumiere's French Brothers, shot in France "l'entree en gare de La Ciotat" ( the La Ciotat station entrance ) 1895.
By the way, back then, the quality of the camera was way badder than most ghost sightings
sorry but this is not the first movie, this one is ua-cam.com/video/auXeNshGQn0/v-deo.html
EvilKittyCat No offense, but the chronology doesn't support this being the first motion picture. If Louis le Prince created the first motion picture in 1888, an experiment done by Edison a year later could not have had anything to do with making it happen.
TheStockwell That's Exactly what i was thinking, Now let's be factual about all this, since EvilKittyCat want's a debate,
1. "supposedly" this motion picture was made in 1889 and the other one was created in 1888.
so.. Exactly, how could this have been the inspiration for the creation of something in the past.
that's just ridiculous
2. how do we verify that this motion picture actually is made in 1889 and the other in 1888, the Title is not exactly credible evidence.
i think before any argument can take place it needs to be veified and the source referenced.
we are all looking for an answer here, but, as for myself, i really could give a rats if it was 88 or 89
i came here because i realize that TV was was first aired in 1950's but then it occurred to me , for some stupid reason (i was actually thinking about the original king kong at the time) that Motion Picture came before TV.
i know.. duh,
at the time though i kinda blurred the two as being 1.
anyway, i came here to find approx when motion picture started, that is, Motion picture without sound
and i have my answer
so.. I'm outta here and i'll leave all of you to debate whether it was 1888 or 1889 LOL
i can see this getting out of hand
Martin Kuliza Here's short, snappy answer: google this phrase - Louis Le Prince, who shot the world's first film in Leeds - and click the top result, a BBC website article. The article mentions a filmmaker, David Wilkinson, who's spent 30 years looking into the question and has done a film on it: The First Film (2015). The Louis Le Prince film was shot on October 14th, 1888. Edison's team didn't get anything done until either June 1889 or November 1890. End o' debate.
And you'll love this: television predates motion pictures. Something called a Nipnow disk, an image scanning device which was an important component of early television, was patented in 1884. The first documented demonstration of television was in 1925, in a London department store: the test subject was the head of a ventriloquist dummy named Stooky Bill. The next year, a demo transmission in the Soviet Union was projected on a five-foot screen.
The first US President on television? FDR, in 1939 at the World's fair. First dictator on television? Hitler, three years earlier at the opening of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. He was broadcast to 41 countries but, since there were only about nine hundred television sets on the planet in 1936, big deal.
The BBC was broadcasting by 1936 on a single television channel. In 1939 it was shut down because it was thought the VHF signal would be used by German bombers to home in on London. The last transmission before the BBC pulled its own plug was a Micky Mouse cartoon. Seven years later, with the war over, the BBC went back to broadcasting. To observe this event, they rebroadcast the Mickey Mouse cartoon.
I love crap like this!
TheStockwell i can tell, and i also love shit like this, i don't say this often, so take it as a compliment, but.. Today you have taught me something new.
at first when i starting reading your post, i thought you were gonna mention TV as a Piece of Hardware and then i realised that maybe i mis stated what i meant.
what i actually meant was Transmission of TV signals to a Natonal Audience
but then reading further into your research, i was suprised , and i have to admit some of this stuff actually rings a bell,
oh, well, now i have something to research
THANKS DUDE
be cool
The channel is terminated
Edison was absolutely nothing compared to Tesla. theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla
Edison ended up with the credit for a lot of work done by others. In some cases, like the light bulb, he came up with the best version of something that had been in development for years. He was not always the inventor, but sometimes the finisher. And he sometimes got credit for work done by his assistants. He was a visionary, perhaps a genius, but he didn't deserve all the accolades he's been given.
Like Columbus 'discovering' america for the last time, edison invented it in a way that it wouldn't have to be invented again.
teliscopes are not cameras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That cranking sound is gorgeous
You could say that the filming contrast and resolution was ultra-low, the first tape presenting more of a shim figure. Obviously the light was getting distorted on the the film either due to movements or overexposure of light. Also the filming tape wasn't straight but moved sometimes where it shouldn't, causing some blurred and stretched pictures.
I think the second one is somewhat improved for film steadyness and lens focus.
Edison had extreme OCD. He had the need to collect all inventions & credit it with his name on them.
Who else came here by telling google to play the first video?
lol me
lol me too
meh
me
Me.
1912 saw work begin on what has been called “the first epic motion picture”, the “Photo-Drama of Creation.” Over nine million people saw the “Photo-Drama”, a program that included motion pictures and slides synchronized with sound. The “Photo-Drama” had been presented in North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
What was different about the “Photo-Drama” was it actually told a story, the story of Creation and the the future.
It was the first true "epic motion picture" just 25 years after Edison's "Monkeyshines".
I'm a time traveller, and I'm actually watching this in 2013. The world didn't end!
" *However these were all a series of still photos viewed in sequence* ..." which is exactly what every motion picture and video ever made is. To call Edison's "the first true motion picture ever made" is absolute bullshit. Muybridge's sequences were true motion pictures.
Did Edison ever actually invent anything truly new that no one had ever thought of before?
A Zoetrope or Muybridge's work can't be considered as motion pictures, the same way a row of rifles shot in fast sequence can't be considered a machine-gun. Is not motion picture, because each picture was taken by a different camera.
Roberto Ruiz If you say so.
Hey someone go tell the producers of The Matrix that it's not a motion picture because that's exactly how the "Matrix effect" was done. Roberto Ruiz says so.
Edison was not the first to create a motion picture device and not the last. However Muybridge was not a motion picture maker. His work was exhibited in books as a sequence of still photographs. Indeed when Muybridge had a look at motion picture devices he looked down on such as "toys". The motion picture occurs when the individual images are separated in terms of time but combined in terms of space, whereas Muybridges photographs, while separated in time, are also separated in space. To put it another way you could look at a Muybridge work in an art gallery, but not in a cinema. Those that have since converted Muybridges work into motion pictures are actually doing something of which Muybridge would not approve.
Thomas Edison my arse.
Taking a video of Edison taking a video. Makes perfect sense.
They're remaking this with an ethnically diverse, all female cast!!! YAASSSS
Hilarious.
First "full length" motion picture ever made, story of the Kelly gang, Australia!
Sorry Mr Edison. lol
Slightly inaccurate video, Étienne-Jules Marey invented, manufactured and used the chronophotographic gun, beating Edison by a cool 6 years, George Eastman and William Walker were already 'experimenting' and validating 'commercial' Film technologies, and released to a select few in 1885, of cause Eastman went global in 1889.
There s a documentary film out now called The First Film that says it was a French chap who made the first motion picture in a garden in Leeds and on Leeds bridge.
Businessman he was, innovator, creator, inventor, he was not, he knew how to take advantage of people, that was it
Only couple of seconds Roundhouse film of 1888 but much better than Edison's film here year later. Edison was plagiarist he stole the electric lightbulb from an Englishmen called Swonson who had come up with the same thing earlier. The difference was Edison was great publicist that's why his credited with inventing so many things we have today, which in fact he didn't.
Prof - He stole it from Joseph Swan, but after all the legal wrangling they agreed it should be called the Ediswan lamp.
Thomas Edison. The worlds greatest self promoter, narcissist and plagarist!
the American way.. :D
Greg Fletcher A worthless fuck who believes everything he reads on the internet and that is why you will be on welfare until the near future day of your suicide.
Selsley01
Except you don't know what you are talking about and you are embarrassing yourself, your parents and your school system.
Gregg, "Plagiarist" That's being VERY polite!
The Lumiere brothers, in France, invented motion photography. The name, cinema, is attributed to them. Edison produced films much later.
The very first motion film was Roundhay Garden Scene in 1888
@Hesam0000 The running horse was only a series of photographs, in an attempt to "freeze" motions. Edward muybridge lay the foundation to motion picture but the running horse wasn't actually that. I have (like so many) taken several photo sequences by Edward and used softwares to make looping videos of them. As far as i know (but ofcourse this can be debated) "roundhay garden scene" was the oldest surviving motion picture film, made in 1888, and lasted for 2 seconds.
Are you still alive?
Edison’s attempt was the same as the forerunner, a succession of individual still photographs played in sequence.
Oh, How I long for the good ole days. When I wasn't born yet.
Thank god for Thomas Edison without him there wouldn't be no movie
Wonderful superb greatest production of Thomas Edison legends in a history of movies film industry rest in peace of All
Rex Reed's Great-Grandfather called it, "Thrilling," "Suspenseful," "Gripping," and "High-Octane," and "Fun for the whole family".
Nice to witness something historical
I believe the first film using one camera was by French inventor Louis Le Prince that he shot in England in 1888. It was of remarkable quality. Le Prince later moved to the United States to demonstrate his invention and shortly afterward completely disappeared from a train along with his luggage, never to be seen again. Odd story.
A lot of Edison's genius was in stealing other people's work and ideas and marketing them as his own.
first or not - i can watch these old 'tests' forever... so amazing. so lucky to have them
@TheRealWurzog (also to PhelpsHawk) 1925: Bell labs uses the vacuum tube as an amplifier and developes the PA system later that year. Newsreels and movies with sound for portions of the film started appearing in 1926 but most film theaters didn't start putting in sound systems until late 1927 or 1928 after "The Jazz Singer" became such a hit.
I bet that video people back in 1898 were awestruck when they watched that
Many will say Birth of a Nation from 1915, but there were a few movies before that, such as Tilly's Punchered Romance from 1914 and The Last Days of Pompei from 1913 which ran over an hour and can therefore be called feature length.
It's crazy how you plant this comment here while I'm researching for my exam for art history. Recalling Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy:
"Viewing the world as representation depends on the perceiver and this would place the world on the same level as ideas - called idealism. The world is real - not because it exists independently of our minds but rather because we perceive it in space and time."
cant wait for the blu-ray version
Edison's priority as inventor of motion pictures is much disputed. Louis Le Prince is more likely to have created true moving pictures.
He created motion picture films. But motion pictures as a phenomenon existed before him.
@@collodion1884 Yes of course - the experimentations of Edweard Muybridge etc. not to mention various toys in the 19th century, but I think most readers would have understood what medium I was referring to.
the first motion picture was in 1888 by Louie le prince, it was called roundhay garden scene
If these are the true first motion pictures, then these are the first two actors.
Thrilling plot structure
Um, Neuro, "everybody knows that"? That's quite the claim there...
anyway...
Great piece, KKD! I really enjoyed it.
That was my favorite childhood movie.
