Amazing.

Like a journey back in time.

Whoa...

That is great! I love the humor of the "all mighty hand." The kid at the peanut cart was cute! Was living much more simple back then? Nice find Hunter. Been a long time for a great find like this one.

What always amazes me is that you can look into the face of a small kid and you know that by now that kid is most likely already dead. Always reminds me of how short our lives are.

Rhodes · 11-10-09, 05:38 PM

And what process did the filmemaker used?

Aramike · 11-10-09, 05:44 PM

Really cool stuff!

I almost went to the piano and played while I watched it.

Wow, that's so beautiful. It definitely reminds you of times past.

Now that is funny because I was turning up my speakers to hear. DOH! NO sound for film yet!

Very interesting...........(Twists mustache)

I know now how he did it since true color film was invented a decade later in Germany

I don't know which specific technique, but here is a website that describes the many different ways early movies were made in colour

http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/oldcolor/oldcolor.htm

What many people don't know is that there were colour movies before there were talkies.

I know that site, but could pin-point the method. I thought of kinemacolor or cinecolor!
