From the email I got with the clip.

Perhaps the oldest home movie that you will ever see!
"You are there for a cable car ride in San Francisco "
This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever made. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car.

The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there.
> This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing, to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!). It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906 and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing, but true!

...and before any of you smart asses ask - NO I didn't make the film.

That one's pretty good. There's a lot of cool shit like this at The Selvedge Yard as does How to be a Retronaut

Very cool clip. But damn, it was complete chaos on the streets. Everyone driving wherever they the hell they wanted, almost getting hit by either cars, horses, or cable cars. Holy crap....the things we take for granted today...wow

Cool clip bdm...thanks.
@nugent...it kind of reminded me of downtown Paterson NJ, Broadway(rt4?).

Amazing clip, thanks for posting it.

Anyone have any idea who the music is by?

It says on the clip. The band is called Air, song is "La Femme D'Argent".

Hmm, ok thanks much. The window acted kind of wierd on me all I got was the movie itself, must be a Firefox/NoScript issue.

awesome.
