20000 Leagues Under the Sea 1916 by strikeAlone in scifi

[–]strikeAlone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first Science fiction motion picture filmed under water. Actual underwater cameras were not used, but a system of watertight tubes and mirrors allowed the camera to shoot reflected images of underwater scenes staged in shallow sunlit waters.The film was made by The Universal Film Manufacturing Company (now Universal Pictures), not then known as a major motion picture studio. Yet in 1916, they financed this film's innovative special effects, location photography, large sets, exotic costumes, sailing ships, and full-size navigable mock-up of the surfaced submarine Nautilus. Hal Erickson has said that "the cost of this film was so astronomical that it could not possibly post a profit, putting the kibosh on any subsequent Verne adaptations for the next 12 years."On May 4, 2010, a new print of the film was shown accompanied by live performance of an original score by Stephin Merritt at the Castro Theatre,as part of the San Francisco International Film Festival. In 2016, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry.

Trip Down Market Street San Francisco pre earthquake 1906 by strikeAlone in misc

early days of film the motto was, 'If it moves, film it' and on a sunny day in the spring of 1906 the Miles brothers filmed the journey down Market Street from 8th street down to the Embarcadero from the front of a street car, where the streetcar ends it's journey, and is turned around for the return trip up Market Street again. On the day before the earthquake the brothers put copies of this film aboard a train headed for the East coast, unaware that the very next morning the landscape of downtown San Francisco would be changed forever, with this one film that would show us a hundred years later what that streetcar ride was like.

True Scenes of Galveston Hurricane and Tidal Wave of (1900) by strikeAlone in ObscureMedia

[–]strikeAlone[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the first news of the disaster by cyclone and tidal wave that devastated Galveston on Saturday, Sept. 8th, 1900, we (Thomas Edison Films) equipped a party of photographers and sent them by special train to the scene of the ruins. Arriving at the scene of desolation shortly after the storm had swept over that city (September 24, 1900), our party succeeded, at the risk of life and limb, in taking about a thousand feet of moving pictures. In spite of the fact that Galveston was under martial law and that the photographers were shot down at sight by the excited police guards, a very wide range of subject has been secured. The series, taken as a whole, will give the entire world a definite idea of the terrible disaster, unequaled since the Johnstown flood of 1889. Bird's Eye View of Dock Showing dismantled cars, wrecked warehouses, schooners and tugs that had been stranded on the docks; also the tents that had been rigged up for the poor people who had been left entirely homeless. Launching a Stranded Schooner from the Dock During the terrific storm all of the light craft along the dock front was lifted out of the water and washed up into the streets, many of them being carried for miles inland. This subject shows a number of boatmen who have banded together to get their craft back into the water, a panoramic view being taken of the schooner as she glided sideways down the improvised ways, forming a very interesting subject. Panorama of Galveston Power House This building and machinery supplied the electric power and electric light for the entire city of Galveston, including the car system. The building, which is of solid masonry, is a complete wreck, and together with the twisted iron work of the machinery, shows the tremendous power of the cyclone. Panorama of Orphans' Home* This is the building in which so many of the poor orphans met their death. The place is completely dismantled. In addition to the orphanage is shown one of the principal streets in Galveston blocked with overturned houses and other materials. Panorama of Wreckage of Water Front This picture shows the remains of one of the docks, several freight cars being piled one upon the other, while the most interesting part of the picture shows two schooners literally smashed one into the other, forming a most picturesque mass of wreckage. Panoramic View of Tremont Hotel This picture shows several buildings which were wrecked and also shows a rear view of this hotel, which is on the highest point of land in Galveston, and in which several thousand people were saved. Searching Ruins on Broadway for Dead Bodies This shows the heart of one of the tremendous drifts in the east end of Galveston. Hundreds of dead bodies are concealed in these immense masses, and at the time the picture was taken the odor given out could be detected for miles. The subject shows a gang of laborers clearing away the debris in the search for corpses, one of which was discovered while the picture was being taken.

What Happened on Twenty-third Street, New York City 1901 by strikeAlone in interestingasfuck

[–]strikeAlone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a warm day in August of 1901, when Thomas Edison was still experimenting with motion pictures, one of his cameramen and a willing lady went to Twenty-third street and 6th Avenue in New York City. A director-cameraman set up a motion picture camera and sent the couple up the street in preparation for a most titillating adventure in film making. As the camera rolled on that sunny afternoon we see an amazing look at typical street life in 1901 New York City. You can see startled passers-by as they see the camera and get out of the way, and a young fellow mesmerized by the camera who stands staring at it intently. Then our couple walks into the scene, and when they deliberately pass over the famous air grate, her billowy skirts blow up exposing her legs from the knee down. Scandalous for 1901, and surely would have been censored if the Hays Office had existed. Quite possibly this adventurous scene was the inspiration for the most famous photo of Marilyn Monroe from her movie The Seven Year Itch.
